The chairman of a new U.S. House of Representatives select committee focused on China sent a letter to Federal Bureau of Investigation director Christopher Wray on Friday seeking answers about alleged Chinese-government run police outposts on U.S. soil.
Wray told Congress in November he was deeply concerned about Beijing setting up unauthorized "police stations" in U.S. cities to possibly pursue influence operations, but declined at the time to detail the bureau's investigative work on the issue.
"Through these outposts and other tools of coercion, the CCP has violated the rights of American citizens, residents, and visitors," the committee's Republican chairman, Representative Mike Gallagher, wrote in the letter seen by Reuters, referring to China's ruling Communist Party.
