In a major cross-border operation, Chinese police have brought home 952 nationals suspected of telecom fraud from Myanmar this week – a dramatic escalation in Asia's fight against cybercrime. 🌐 The suspects were escorted back on December 26 following joint raids with Myanmar and Thai authorities targeting scam compounds near the Myawaddy border region.

Authorities demolished hundreds of fraud-related buildings in notorious hubs like KK Park and Shwe Kokko – areas previously dubbed 'scam cities' for their industrial-scale operations. These networks allegedly siphoned millions from Chinese citizens through elaborate online schemes.

The operation marks strengthened collaboration between China, Myanmar, and Thailand to combat transnational crime. 'This isn't just about arrests – we're dismantling the physical infrastructure of fraud,' stated a Chinese police spokesperson. More operations are expected in 2026 as regional cybersecurity becomes a top priority.
