China's Ministry: Over 50,000 arrested in Myanmar for telecom fraud

China's public security agencies have tightened efforts to crack down on major transnational crimes like telecom fraud over recent years, arresting over 50,000 fraud suspects operating in northern Myanmar, said a leading official from China's Ministry of Public Security on Tuesday.

In recent years, China's public security agencies have expanded cooperation with the law enforcement departments of the relevant other countries, establishing various cooperation mechanisms for joint operations to combat cross-border crime, said Qi Yanjun, Vice-Minister of Public Security.

"Through our effective law enforcement cooperation, Myanmar’s police have handed over 10 chief fraud ringleaders including Bai Suocheng to us in a single delivery. By far, more than 50,000 fraud suspects in northern Myanmar have been captured. We have also launched a joint crackdown on crimes involving China in the Golden Triangle region, and carried out joint special operations to crack down on transnational crimes with law enforcement agencies in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and other countries, to severely punish all kinds of transnational crimes involving China," Qi said at a press conference in Beijing.
