Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China continues to help Myanmar crack down on fraud, online scams
There are a large number of online scams and fraud crimes around the
world, and China is no exception. Some may think many of those crimes originate
in China and attack foreign countries, but there are a number of criminal operations
outside China that target China’s mainland. Myanmar shares its northeastern border
with China’s Yunnan Province. The country is heavily funded and developed by
China’s Road and Belt Initiative project, and thus, very cooperative with China.
Earlier this month, Myanmar handed over 1,200 online scam suspects and criminal
tools like PCs and mobile phones to China as part of a joint investigation. Those
suspects are charged with fraud, illegal border crossing, and other crimes.
This operation was in addition to the September 3 joint operation that cracked
down on 11 fraud networks and detained nearly 270 suspects in Myanmar. Very
cooperative, isn’t it? But does the title of this article sound right? Which
country helped the other?
Read the article to learn about how China enforces its laws in another
country.
