oh no… and my friends all think im crazy today for saying im pro China, and a “genocide denier”, i am sure this will go great tommorow, lol
There were some USA and Canada people on reddit debunking this during the past month. This propaganda already flopped.
Well that’s a rare occurrence.
A lot easier to weave some propaganda story about than something happening thousands of miles away as opposed to a few blocks down from you :p.
Rare indeed, very rare. The sole reason behind it is that the “taxpayer” anti-democratic lazy citizens are forced to utilise democracy because their livelihoods are being thrashed so much, they are starting to get affected. The buffer that Western citizens have used as a cushion for so long, has nearly depleted.
I’m sure the Dutch never set up overseas police stations in the Caribbean or Indonesia. Or the British in North America, Africa, India, Oceania, etc etc etc etc. Nope, not in their entire history ever.
Call it whataboutism, but I just think it’s rich that these colonial countries (who are still very much proud of and unapologetic about their colonialism) are screeching about another country (allegedly) trying to undermine their sovereignty. It sucks doesn’t it?
Good time to remind everyone that countless polls and surveys have shown that Western Europe never stopped liking colonialism, with huge swaths of the population still thinking that it was a net good for the world. But hey, actions speak louder than words right? And it’s not like Western Europe, Netherlands included, are still holding on to many colonies in Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Arctic, etc even after a 100+ year old UN directive to decol… Wait, they are? Shit.
Could you imagine a country trying to set up armed forces in another country? Unfathomable.
Even more unfathomable would be a country doing it 750+ times…
Oh man I saw that pop up today in the Dutch news.
Currently Turkey, Syria, Iran, Russia and China and I´m sure some other countries are getting accused of setting up police bureaus in The Netherlands to intimidate their citizens.
The Dutch news said these bureaus function as a way for Chinese people in The NL to get some of their Chinese documents updated, but there is ´something off about them´. And then they go off with one Chinese guy with an outstanding arrest warrant in China getting ´stalked´ by said bureaus with only his side of the story.
Alternative title: “Netherlands cannot control their own territory”
What European country could be said to be fully in charge of itself after 1991?
Considering the area of extrateritorial bases they have, USA - it have more territory in Europe than some countries.
But isn’t that what embassy’s are for???
It is actually. Not saying it’s not a bit fishy to be honest. But the only source the news is giving is this one guy that’s wanted in China and no other people. So we have this station that mainly seems to focus on administrative work except for this one wanted guy that keeps getting followed, and no one else for some reason.
I have some Chinese friends in The Netherlands and neither them or other Chinese people they know are ever stalked like all the wild stories they hear.
I clearly don’t know much about global law enforcement, but I thought if there was a warrant for your arrest and a government agency caught wind of it, wouldn’t that mean they’d have to arrest you? Especially if the agency is from the country that you were charged in?
I’ve seen people get arrested even when they’ve fled the country so I’m a bit confused as to why this guys case is such a big deal. I’m not simping for the cops or anything lol, just thought this was standard procedure…
P.S. the only person I can think of that fled the country and wasn’t arrested is Edward Snowden. He’s way more well known than this guy.
If the country you flee to works together with the country looking for you, then yes they will probably arrest and extradite you.
If not, then the country does not have to do anything. This is the reason some fugitives flee to embassies in their own country. Mainly embassies that don’t extradite you to another country. Assange did this in London.
Walking into your own embassy while you have an arrest warrant to your name will result in you getting arrested. I’ve worked with political refugees and when they had to do their paperwork it would always be a pain in the ass, as we could not bring them to the embassy.
Thanks for the explanation, makes a lot more sense now. So it’s just normal diplomatic shit. I went searching for the article for more details and there’s literally no evidence, it’s just an embassy. So disingenuous.
The problem is that it’s not an official embassy and they should not be able to do the things they claim to do. You can ask the Chinese why exactly they do it this way, as an official embassy should be enough for this. But no, it’s evil commie shit of course.
but there is ´something off about them´.
I’m pretty sure one of our airports up here in Canada is controlled by Americans.
All of the international airports with US flights are to an extent. The US insisted for some strange reasons I am not up to speed on that US customs and border clearance happen in the Canadian airport pre-flight. So there are a bunch of US DHS employees in Canadian cities who have some weird extra-legal status and can enforce US laws.
Afaik it was part of a reciprocal deal, where the same thing was to be established in US airports but with Canadian border services agents. Pretty sure the US/its airports just never allowed this development to occur while Canada did
Canadian government getting played again
Yeah and it’s weird as hell.
literally shows that it is an embassy, are already abusing public perception
For real lmao. They do administrative work and to prove they are evil they are talking with a person with an arrest warrant in China.
‘So we’re here with John, wanted for domestic terrorism by the FBI. John, please tell us how oppressed you are and how you can’t visit your country’s embassy please.’
Well the US did bombed chinese enbassy in Belgrade so their vassals probably also have some quotas on this…
Lol embassies are “police stations” now, but only if its China or Russia.
What does this even mean?
Basically this, but exchange flag to chinese one:
U.S. - cannot make war propaganda without being racist.
I found the article if y’all would prefer to read it rather than watch a video. As usual it’s completely blown out of proportion.
