CCTV News: According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines, on February 25, law enforcement departments of China and the Philippines cooperated to repatriate nearly 100 Chinese citizens engaged in offshore gambling in the Philippines. This is another important action by China and the Philippines to carry out law enforcement cooperation after the Philippine government's offshore gambling ban came into effect, demonstrating the determination of the two countries to cooperate in combating offshore gambling.
The Chinese government is committed to cracking down on gambling and related crimes, and has always required overseas Chinese citizens to strictly abide by local laws and regulations and not engage in illegal and criminal activities. We urge the Philippines to completely resolve the stubborn problems related to the offshore gaming industry as soon as possible. China is willing to work with the Philippines to fight criminal activities, and urges the Philippines to enforce the law fairly and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens in the Philippines.
