China has executed four senior members of a Myanmar-based criminal gang responsible for telecom scams, drug trafficking, and illegal gambling operations worth over $4 billion. The Shenzhen court carried out the sentences this week after final approval from China’s Supreme People’s Court. 🔍
Gang’s Reign of Terror
Led by Bai Yingcang, the Bai family gang operated from bases in Myanmar’s Kokang region, targeting Chinese citizens. Their crimes included murder, kidnapping, and producing 11 tonnes of methamphetamine. Six Chinese nationals died due to their actions. 💔
From Arrest to Execution
The gang was first sentenced to death in November 2025. Despite appeals dismissed in December 2025, the Supreme Court upheld the verdict, calling their crimes 'exceptionally severe.' 💻📉
Why It Matters
This case highlights China’s intensified crackdown on cross-border crime. With telecom fraud losses hitting 29 billion yuan ($4.16B), authorities are sending a clear message: crime syndicates won’t escape justice, even overseas. 🌐🚨
