Hey there! Have you heard the big news? Over 200 people suspected of committing fraud have been sent back to China from Myanmar! 🤯
What’s Going On?
China, Myanmar, and Thailand have teamed up to fight against online scams and illegal activities. These scams can trick people into giving away their money or personal information. Not cool, right?
On Thursday, Chinese police escorted the first group of 200 suspects back to China. They traveled through Thailand to get there. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, said more groups will be coming back soon. 🛫
Why Is This Important?
Online scams and gambling can hurt a lot of people. By working together, these countries are trying to keep everyone safe and stop the bad guys. Guo Jiakun reminds us that crime doesn’t pay and those who break the law will be caught. 👮♂️
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!
Thailand cut off electricity and internet to places where scammers were hiding. Myanmar sent in their forces to catch the suspects and rescue people who were trapped. It’s like a real-life superhero team-up! 🦸♂️🦸♀️
China’s Big Effort
China has been working hard to stop these crimes. In one case, a court in Zhejiang Province tried 23 people who were part of major fraud groups. They were involved in things like fraud, operating illegal casinos, and more.
Between January and November, China’s officials charged over 67,000 people with online fraud crimes, which is 58.5% more than last year! That’s a lot of bad guys off the streets. 🌐🚫
Staying Safe Online
This is a great reminder to always be careful online. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Keep your personal information safe and always tell a trusted adult if something seems suspicious. 🕵️♀️
Let’s give a thumbs up to everyone working hard to make the internet a safer place! 👍
