As FBI director Wray is cited in 'How China Tries to Intimidate Its Dissidents Living Overseas' (2020), for example:

In one case, according to Wray, the CCP “sent an emissary to visit the target’s family here in the United States.” This emissary warned the target that he or she “had two options: return to China promptly, or commit suicide.”

A more recent analysis on China's illegal police stations can be found at 'China's Consular Volunteers.'

But there are very good sources across the web.
