Chinese government-orchestrated repression in Mexico City?

Quite an unusual piece of news: Senator René Arce accused employees of the Cuauhtémoc borough in Mexico City of harassing practitioners of Falun Gong, following a request by the Chinese embassy.

It seems the embassy had sought to pay some local political boss to harass the religious group; Most Mexicans have very likely never heard of the Falun Gong; this brutal and stupid attack, seemingly ordered by the embassy, will not only create more awareness of the group, but further expose the authoritarianism of the Chinese.
