China has denied accusations of an overseas police presence, saying the United States was making “groundless accusations” after officers arrested two men in New York for establishing a secret police station.

“The relevant claims have no factual basis, and there is no such thing as an overseas police station,” spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Wang Wenbin said on Tuesday.
