Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – At a press conference held by the Ministry of Public Security today, it was announced that in 2025, under the unified deployment of the Ministry of Public Security, public security organs nationwide strictly followed the "Anti-Telecommunications and Internet Fraud Law" and other laws and regulations, continuously deepening the crackdown on and governance of telecommunications and internet fraud crimes. A total of 258,000 related cases were solved throughout the year, successfully curbing the high incidence of crime and effectively safeguarding the property safety and legitimate rights and interests of the people.
The press conference revealed that in the past year, public security organs promoted anti-fraud work from four dimensions, building an integrated governance system of "prevention, control, and governance":
First, focusing on the source of the crime and strengthening the effectiveness of the crackdown. Public security organs precisely deployed a series of special operations such as "cutting off the flow," "uprooting the nails," and "severing the chain," focusing on targeting and arresting the behind-the-scenes "financial backers," core leaders, and key members of fraud groups. A total of 542 key suspects were arrested, strongly deterring the rampant criminal activities. Recently, public security organs further expanded the crackdown, publicly issuing arrest warrants for 100 fugitive "financial backers" and key members involved in telecommunications fraud, demonstrating their firm determination to severely crack down on crime.
Second, we have strengthened the protective network and enhanced early warning and interception capabilities. Relying on a policing model combining "professionalism + mechanisms + big data," public security organs, in conjunction with relevant departments, have built a multi-dimensional early warning and prevention system. Throughout the year, they intercepted 3.6 billion fraudulent phone calls and 3.3 billion fraudulent text messages, and urgently stopped the transfer of 21.707 million yuan in fraudulent funds. Simultaneously, public security organs across the country implemented a tiered dissuasion mechanism, conducting face-to-face dissuasion visits to 6.747 million people. Through a closed-loop approach of "online early warning + offline door-to-door visits," they successfully prevented significant financial losses for the public.
Third, we have deepened source governance and eradicated the breeding ground for crime. On the one hand, we have tightened border control at ports, established and improved emergency interception mechanisms, severely cracked down on smuggling organizers, and resolutely cut off the cross-border outflow channels for those involved in fraud. On the other hand, we have strengthened education and guidance for those involved in fraud, creating a positive atmosphere of "anti-fraud for all" and "anti-fraud throughout society" through targeted education, thereby compressing the space for criminal activities at their root.
Fourth, we have expanded international cooperation and built a cross-border combat framework. Public security organs have accelerated the construction of an international alliance to combat telecommunications and online fraud, actively promoting the construction of a new global anti-fraud governance framework that is collaborative, efficient, and widely participated in. Leveraging bilateral and multilateral law enforcement cooperation channels, working groups have been dispatched multiple times to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and other countries to conduct joint law enforcement operations, successfully dismantling a large number of overseas fraud dens. In response to the severe situation of rampant telecom fraud involving Chinese nationals in Myanmar's Myawaddy region, China, Myanmar, and Thailand established a special coordination mechanism and launched multiple rounds of concentrated crackdown operations. To date, more than 7,600 Chinese nationals suspected of telecom fraud in the region have been extradited back to China, and key gambling fraud zones such as the KK Industrial Park and Asia Pacific New City have been completely eradicated.
