BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) -- China, Myanmar and Thailand agreed to intensify cooperation to dismantle all telecom scam compounds and arrest all suspects in Myawaddy and other telecom fraud hubs, China's Ministry of Public Security announced Sunday.

The decision came during a recent ministerial meeting on joint crackdown against telecom fraud attended by law enforcement agencies of the three countries.

Thanks to their joint efforts, over 5,400 Chinese nationals suspected of frauds in Myawaddy have been repatriated in 2025, marking significant progress in the tripartite crackdown campaign.

This is not the first time China has collaborated with Southeast Asian countries to combat telecom fraud.

In November 2024, the Chinese ministry announced that all large-scale telecom fraud centers located near the China-Myanmar border in northern Myanmar had been wiped out.

By the end of 2024, over 53,000 Chinese nationals suspected of frauds had been arrested with cooperative efforts from Chinese and Myanmar police since the ministry launched a crackdown on telecom frauds in northern Myanmar in 2023.

Meanwhile, during China's cooperation with Laotian police authority in 2024, a total of 268 suspects involved in cross-border telecom frauds affecting Chinese citizens were returned from Laos to Chinese police custody, said the ministry.
