Watch the hearing in the player above. "It’s been reported that the Chinese Communist Party is operating police stations in the United States in an effort to surveil Chinese dissidents," said Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida. "Seems obvious the US shouldn’t allow its most significant geopolitical rival, an oppressive Communist regime, to establish police stations in the U.S.," Scott said. "What authority or jurisdiction does the CCP have in the U.S.?" "I’m very concerned about this," Wray said. "We are aware of the existence of these stations." "The reason this is so important is because we have seen a clear pattern of the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party, exporting their repression right here into the U.S," Wray said.
