> This is a small world, whether we like it or not, and letting authoritarian stuff like this extradition treaty to a dictatorship slide A while ago a plane arrived in Fiji half-filled with Chinese police officers. They arrested 77 supposedly Chinese nationals, put them on the plane, and took them back to China. This was all extra-judicial. None of the 77 were arrested, charged, or convicted by the Fijian justice system. It's unknown who the 77 are, but the Chinese claim they were involved in an online fraud ring. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-08/chinese-suspects-deported-from-fiji-arrive-hooded-and-handcuffed/8786080 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-08/chinese-suspects-depo...

As a Chinese I think the Chinese police officers are doing a great job.

  They probably are following orders really well, it's the judicial and legislative system using the police that are almost not even trying to uphold the human rights conventions. You know, the UN ones, which China claims they support, since China's a permanent member of the security council and all.

  I really like people when they comment without doing research and just feed their hatred. The event in Fiji IS about online scammers, and thousands of people in China have suffered from these scams. These scammers are, unfortunately, mostly organized by Taiwanese because conveniently we use the same language. They are usually released in days when sent back to Taiwan. Fortunately Chinese police office does a good job, and work with local government to crack down these activities. These criminals reside in African countries and South east countries because the law enforcement there is technologically limited. I understand people hate Chinese government (you are not a happy person anyway), but using wrong evidence to back up your claim is just appalling. If you are looking for political dissenters, they are mostly in Europe, Canada, and sometimes U.S. Never in third-world countries.
