This week on Sinica, Kaiser welcomes back Jeremy Daum, senior research scholar in law and senior fellow at the Paul Tsai China Law Center. Jeremy has a well-deserved reputation as a debunker of myths and misperceptions about China. This time, he takes on the much-discussed “overseas police stations,” and examines how they are — and aren’t — related to China’s transnational repression.
01:03 – The overview of the investigation on Chinese overseas police stations
06:19 – The disparity between the press release and the actual charges against the investigated Chinese individuals
08:48 – The functions of so-called Chinese secret police stations in the U.S.
11:10 – What was wrong with the report written by Safeguard Defenders?
16:57 – What is being national in the aforementioned policies?
19:22 – Evidence of a link between physical presence with transnational repression or repatriation of criminals
26:29 – Is the media narrative regarding popular myths about China slowly changing?
30:22 – Other governments’ views on and actions towards Chinese police stations
31:38 – Tactics used on the return of alleged criminals to China
34:11 – An update on the topic of draft regulations on Generative AI
