Has a Chinese police network taken hold in High Streets? Three premises in the United Kingdom are under scrutiny

On last month, throngs of ceremonial drumming descended on Glasgow to celebrate the ancient Chinese 'Moon Festival.' The festivities, which were hosted by local businessman Jimmy Lin, culminated in a feast of Peking duck and honey-roast pork at the Loon Fung restaurant. Loon Fung is a Glaswegian company that has been serving dumplings for decades. But the restaurant's less-than-salubrious location of Sauchiehall Street has been marred for years by violent Chinese Triad riots, which is next door to shuttered shops and the Nice N Sleazy bar. The address features a strange combination of two seemingly ordinary buildings 400 miles away: the company's headquarters of a food delivery service app in Croydon, South London, and an estate agent on a High Street in Hendon, North London, both of which I visited this week. Because their addresses and telephone numbers are on a list of overseas "service stations" connected to China's police, they can't be deceive their daily lives. According to a study by Madrid-based human rights NGO (non-governmental group) Safeguard Defenders, which was released last month.
