💻 In a major cross-border operation, over 2,800 Chinese nationals suspected of telecom fraud in Myanmar have been repatriated to the Chinese mainland, authorities announced Friday. The crackdown targets internet scams in Southeast Asia — a hotspot for organized cybercrime networks that trap young job-seekers into unethical schemes. 🌏
Chinese police, collaborating with Myanmar and Thai counterparts, are dismantling fraud channels while establishing long-term mechanisms to tackle root causes. According to China’s Ministry of Public Security, the suspects operated in Myawaddy, a border town notorious for illegal online activities. 🔒
‘This operation reflects China’s commitment to protecting its citizens and countering transnational crime,’ a ministry spokesperson stated. The move aligns with growing regional efforts to combat cybercrime, as Southeast Asia faces rising pressure from scams targeting global victims. 🚀
