On Friday, November 14, 2025, law-enforcement agencies from the Chinese mainland, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam gathered in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, to ramp up the fight against telecom and online fraud across the region 🌐🚨.
The meeting marked a milestone in regional cooperation, with officials agreeing to:
- Launch coordinated multinational operations 🤝
- Set up regular coordination mechanisms 🔄
- Boost intelligence sharing between nations 💡
- Continue repatriation and handover of fraud suspects 🔙
Thanks to these measures, joint crackdowns have already dealt a serious blow to gambling- and fraud-related networks. For example, so far this year:
- A trilateral mechanism with Myanmar and Thailand led to operations in Myawaddy, seeing over 5,500 suspects sent back to the Chinese mainland.
- Police from the Chinese mainland and Laos busted over 600 suspects in the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone.
- A special operation with Vietnam netted 149 arrests, while a joint sweep with Cambodia saw 2,141 suspects repatriated.
Officials say this is just the beginning. Plans are underway to deepen international collaboration, dismantle fraud hubs and track down cybercriminals with even greater determination 🔍💪. For young professionals tuning into tech news and cybersecurity trends, this is a clear sign that cross-border teamwork is key to keeping our digital world safe.
