Story summary

In early 2023, Chinese authorities warned Myanmar-based crime families three times to stop their telecom and online scams targeting Chinese citizens, but the criminal activities continued. This led to significant arrests by Myanmar police later in the year. A new documentary series produced jointly by China’s Ministry of Public Security and CCTV highlighted these efforts, showing that 80% of such frauds against Chinese nationals occur overseas, with a major portion originating from northern Myanmar near the border with Thailand. The series also warned about criminals potentially relocating to areas closer to Thailand, complicating international cooperation in tackling cross-border crimes.
