On February 21, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, it was reported that the first batch of 200 Chinese fraud suspects repatriated to China by Myanmar was escorted back to China by Thailand yesterday. What is China’s evaluation of the law enforcement actions carried out by China, Myanmar and Thailand? What other actions will be taken next?
Guo Jiakun said that recently, in response to the continuous vicious cases of online gambling and electronic fraud in the Thai-Myanmar border areas, China, Thailand and Myanmar have jointly launched a concentrated crackdown. Several electronic fraud dens have been eradicated and a large number of suspects have been arrested. It is understood that in addition to the first batch of 200 Chinese criminal suspects, it is expected that there will be more than one batch of criminal suspects who will be escorted back to China one after another. China expresses its appreciation for the strong measures taken by Thailand and Myanmar to destroy the telegram gangs and safeguard the lives and property of Chinese and citizens of various countries.
Entertainment of online gambling and electronic fraud will harm others and oneself, and it will be difficult to escape the French Open. From rescuing trapped Chinese citizens to thunder-style cooperation between the three parties, China's determination to work with other countries to fight cross-border online gambling and protect the lives and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens is as solid as a rock. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassies and consulates abroad will continue to strengthen consular protection and assistance, and make every effort to safeguard the safety and welfare of Chinese citizens overseas.
