CCP has had covert (ish) police in British Columbia for ages.

Do it overtly like they've been doing in Canada and the UK.

IRGC is just as bad. Stalking emigrant dissidents that speak against government in their home country. It's fucked.

No, your memory is entirely correct, friend. The Chinese call them 'overseas service stations' and say they have a legitimate purpose; investigating domestic crime with international links in Chinese communities abroad. They are absolutely not being used for tracking, harassing and coercing dissidents, of course.

The really shocking thing about this is as an immigration officer he would have access to confidential government information that put the many HK dissidents living in the UK at risk.

Had a fun 2-week course in central Europe ten years back, many international students, much fun.
The Chinese student immediately made friends with the one from HK, invited and made us all download WeChat because she claimed she couldn't use Facebook or Whatsapp (FB was still a thing back then), and spent the entire two weeks taking 'fun selfies' with each and all of us in the group.
One day we were chatting randomly and she tentatively told me about the very dangerous and evil Falun Gong followers. I thought that was odd to bring up, but I mentioned that they weren't always considered enemies, and maybe reality is a bit different, etc. Not much since I don't know much either.
Btw turns out she had FB, Whatsapp, and just wanted us to download WeChat. During lockdown she used her FB to add vaguely propagandistic stuff, and finally we just unfriended each other. Last I saw, she got a _government_ job in the US.
Bottom line I'm not saying she was an actual spy, obviously, but she was doing her best in small ways. And I don't think she was necessarily an outlier.

>evil Falun Gong followers
She's not that far off; while Falun Gong are vocally anti-Chinese government, they're also an insane cult

especially Shen Yun, I would see that poster everywhere in LA especially in asian communities. A Thai restaurant I go to owner told me the falun gong would coerce them to put it on their window and if they don’t they will claim the owner is racist towards Chinese and will be bombarded with 1 star review. Also they would occasionally come by and check if their poster is still up.

Yes we already know they've been done for spying but what I want to know is when they did it and why they did it.

This is why no one will ever trust China. No limits on its absolutism.
