Chinese authorities said they have stepped up cross-border law enforcement efforts against telecom and online fraud, working with more than 30 countries including Spain, the United Arab Emirates and Myanmar. Jiang Guoli, director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau under China’s Ministry of Public Security, said that since 2023 China has strengthened police cooperation with Myanmar and carried out a broad crackdown on large-scale scam compounds along the northern Myanmar border. According to Jiang, more than 59,000 fraud suspects have been apprehended and transferred, and the notorious “Four Family Clans” criminal group in Kokang, northern Myanmar, has been completely dismantled. He also said that at the beginning of 2025, China, Myanmar and Thailand established a ministerial-level coordination mechanism for joint action against telecom fraud. Under that framework, the three sides launched coordinated operations targeting scam activity in Myawaddy and carried out 10 consecutive joint repatriation actions. Buildings at the KK Park compound in Myawaddy, totaling more than 630 structures, have now all been demolished, according to the statement cited by CCTV News.
