China’s diaspora crackdown reaches deep into Europe, report finds

China is using hundreds of outposts across Europe to monitor and police its diaspora communities, according to a new report that lands as EU trade officials meet a Chinese counterpart. The findings add a political dimension to already tense commercial relations between Brussels and Beijing. The report's timing puts diaspora policy alongside trade on the EU-China agenda. Watch whether European governments raise the issue in upcoming bilateral talks and whether the outposts face new scrutiny.
