Our 2025 handbook "Missing in China" is used by lawyers and diplomatic missions in Beijing to help families and friends of people detained in China. If you're thinking of going to the PRC, read this first.

Must-read by @NetAskari - the online half of how the UFWD is engaged in “strengthening coordinated supervision of the two battlefields, home and abroad, and the two fronts, online and offline” as noted in @SafeguardDefend A Formula for Repression. 👇👇👇

A recent report by Safeguard Defenders said China has expanded illegal police stations it operates around the world. The Spain-based non-governmental organization said the stations are used by China to monitor the diaspora in a bid to control them.

🇨🇳 El gobierno chino vigila, controla y espía a sus ciudadanos en México a través de estaciones policiales clandestinas instaladas en el país, detectó la organización no gubernamental @SafeguardDefend.

Desde finales de 2024, cinco nuevas políticas nacionales instruyen a las autoridades de toda China para que amplíen sus actividades de enlace en el extranjero. El objetivo fundamental es exportar el sistema interno para controlar a la diáspora. https://t.co/gxifrNBWm3

🎧️ New Episode: In China’s black jails, detainees are pressured to confess to crimes they don’t know they committed while being prevented from knowing where they’re being imprisoned or even from seeing daylight.

Peter Dahlin (@SafeguardDefend) and @MichaelKovrig (Kovrig Group, Centre for Strategic Statecraft) on China's practice of what's known as RSDL: https://t.co/ny2LrNg1pB

We welcome @ipacglobal's alert on China's growing foreign interference & transnational repression, urging democracies to expand official engagement with #Taiwan🇹🇼. We'll continue working with like-minded partners to defend sovereignty & freedom from fear.

Die Kommunistische Partei Chinas baut ihren globalen Einfluss aus.
Peking nutzt für seine Überwachung und Repression im Ausland Hunderte von Organisationen, die es vereinnahmt hat.

China claimed it shut down its illegal overseas police stations. But did the network ever really disappear?

At the 2026 IPAC Summit in The Hague, Safeguard Defenders unveiled a major new investigation exposing Beijing’s expanding global surveillance and control networks.

[Laura Harth @LauraHarth]

Thank you @MOFA_Taiwan "外交部歡迎與肯定IPAC等理念相近夥伴，包括「保護衛士基金會」，以具體行動共同關切中國威權擴張主義，以及呼籲民主友盟應加強與台灣攜手合作反制中國跨國鎮壓。[...] 並重申民主國家唯有團結合作，才能有效遏止威權暴力，守護人民免於恐懼的自由。"

Chinese lokale overheden runnen een fijnmazig surveillancenetwerk in zeker negentig landen.

Via een netwerk van verenigingen en informanten worden Chinezen wereldwijd in de gaten gehouden.

CCP uses united front channels, such as hometown associations and chambers of commerce, to extend control over Chinese communities abroad. “The only thing that changed post 2022 is they stopped being so dumb as to put actual police signs on walls abroad.”

Beijing’s overseas police stations were part of something much bigger. A new @SafeguardDefend's report maps the PRC’s system for monitoring and controlling Chinese diaspora communities, including in Canada. 🧵1/9 🔗👇🏻

針對 @SafeguardDefend 在 #IPACTheHague26 發布的最新報告，來自26個國家的54位立法者呼籲採取6項緊急措施，打擊中共的境外干預與跨國鎮壓。

他們一致要求，各國不能再對中國的行為此視而不見、一味姑息退讓。

[Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) @ipacglobal]

#BREAKING

They demand an end to wilful blindness and overly tolerant acquiescence.

OUT NOW from @safeguarddefend - A FORMULA FOR REPRESSION

4 years after "police stations": more than ever Chinese police, courts, prosecutors and others "extend their tentacles" around the world.

The aim: control what people think, say and do. No matter where they are... 1/2
