It was reported last year that China had a secret base at the Loon Fung restaurant on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow city centre.
A 'secret police station' allegedly run by the Chinese state in a Glasgow restaurant has been shut down.
After a lengthy investigation into the allegations, UK Security Minister Tom Tugenhadt stated that police had visited all of the sites mentioned in the UK and they had not found 'any evidence of illegal activity on behalf of the Chinese state' but confirmed that they had been shut down. He continued: "However, these 'police service stations' were established without our permission and their presence, regardless of whatever low level administrative activity they were performing, will have worried and intimidated those who have left China and sought safety and freedom here in the UK. This is unacceptable.
The Government is clear "that we want to engage and partner with China on key issues where it is in our national interest to do so," Tugendhat said.
