PANews reported on January 10 that according to Beijing Business Daily, on January 10, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference, and the Ministry of Public Security spokesman Zhang Ming introduced the issue of telecommunications network fraud involving me in northern Myanmar, which has attracted the attention of all walks of life. Since the deployment of a special task to combat telecommunications network fraud crimes involving me in northern Myanmar in July 2023, the Ministry of Public Security has relied on the China-Myanmar law enforcement and security cooperation mechanism to direct public security organs in Yunnan, Zhejiang and other places to jointly fight and fully carry out case investigation. As of the end of 2024, a total of more than 53,000 Chinese suspects of fraud have been arrested, and the notorious "Four Families" criminal group in Kokang, northern Myanmar has been completely destroyed. The large-scale electronic fraud park in northern Myanmar near the border has been completely eradicated. The special work has achieved significant phased results, leading to a significant decline in the number of telecommunications network fraud cases and losses nationwide. At present, the cases of the "Four Families" criminal group have gradually entered the litigation stage.
Although the crackdown and governance work has achieved significant results, the current crime situation remains severe and complex. For example, the offensive and defensive confrontations are constantly intensifying and escalating, and fraud groups are constantly updating and upgrading their criminal tools using new technologies such as blockchain, virtual currency, and AI intelligence.
