Elias Jabbour denounces Jamil Chade's "irresponsible article" against China.

247 - Economist and professor Elias Jabbour, a specialist in Chinese affairs, described Jamil Chade's report, published in [publication name], as "irresponsible." UOL this Monday (5), about "clandestine" Chinese police stations in Brazil.

"Where are the police stations, Jamil Chade?", Jabbour questioned on Twitter. "One of the most irresponsible pieces of journalism in recent times. No evidence or proof. This is called 'war journalism'. Subservience to the Elizabeth circuit. A disservice to the country. A disgrace."

Chad's report echoes "a survey conducted by the organization Safeguard Defenders reveals that Chinese authorities maintain three supposedly clandestine police stations on Brazilian soil. The accusation made by the activist group is that these centers serve to monitor and intimidate Chinese citizens abroad, as well as forcing dissidents in certain cases to return to the country."

"The study now shows that there are more than 100 police stations maintained by China in 53 countries. The document is being published this Monday and was first revealed by The Guardian newspaper. The Chinese government explained to the British newspaper that these locations serve only to provide services to Chinese citizens abroad, including bureaucratic procedures such as passport or driver's license renewal. But, according to Safeguard Defenders, these centers are used to 'harass, threaten, intimidate and force' Chinese citizens to return to the country to be prosecuted," it adds.
