Upholding the people-centered principle, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have attached great importance to countering telecom and online fraud. Equal importance has been given to both combat and control. An efficient multi-department collaborative working mechanism has been established, and the Anti-telecom and Online Fraud Law has been formulated and enacted, which provides a strong legal foundation. Targeting the characteristics of such crimes, the Chinese police have conducted specialized study and research, set up specialized task forces, initiated specialized investigation against major cases and utilized specialized techniques. 

The Chinese police have synchronized their efforts both internally and externally, and launched a series of campaigns and operations, effectively curbing the high momentum of these crimes, retrieving a large number of economic losses, and winning wide recognition from the public and the international community. During their international law enforcement engagements, the Chinese police frequently received requests from their counterparts to share their experience and effective practices in this field.

Telecom and online fraud is a typical transnational organized crime. Fraud dens are often located across countries and regions, targeting vulnerable individuals and groups regardless of their nationalities. 

The Chinese police, through international law enforcement cooperation, have joined hands with their international counterparts to carry out operations and achieved significant results. Operation Great Wall, jointly launched with the Spanish police in 2019, has become a successful example of transnational law enforcement cooperation. 

From March to June this year, China, together with 76 INTERPOL member states, jointly participated in the anti-fraud Operation First Light initiated by INTERPOL, which destroyed 1,770 fraud dens in as many countries, arrested over 2,000 suspects and intercepted more than US$50 million in illicit funds. It was also found that some Chinese citizens were involved in fraud activities abroad, and the majority of them were tempted by the promise of high payments, cheated and coerced into being smuggled abroad, and some of them were kidnapped and detained illegally, and a few of them were even beaten and abused to death in the criminal dens. 

The Chinese police, together with relevant departments, have actively carried out rescue and education, and encouraged them to return home through international law enforcement cooperation, and made every effort to provide assistance and employment. The immigration authorities, in accordance with the provisions of the Exit and Entry Administration Law, have taken necessary measures such as restricting the exit of persons engaged in telecom and online fraud.

According to an officer with the Ministry of Public Security, the criminality of telecom and online fraud is characterized by its specialization, industrialization and being increasingly organized and transnational, amid the rapid development of global digitalization. 

As an emerging new-type crime, it is a very difficult problem for governments of various countries to tackle and control, and thus it has become one of the major challenges facing police forces across the world. Joining hands in combating this newly developed fraud is the shared responsibility of the police of all countries and also the unanimous consensus of the international community. 

Public security agencies across China are determined to earnestly enforce the Law of Anti-telecom and Online Fraud through strengthened cooperation with their international counterparts and reinforced domestic efforts in fighting the crime, so as to prevent it from further spreading, and to bringing the fraudsters at large to justice.

電信とネット詐欺犯罪は典型的な跨国有の組織犯罪で、詐欺の巣窟は往々にして他国と地域に設けられ、被害国の公民に対して詐欺を実施する。このため、中国警察は法執行の国際協力を通じて、多国籍警察と連携して打撃行働を展開し、非常に明らかな効果を得た。2019年にスペイン警察と共同で展開した「万里の長城作戦」は、国境を越えた法執行協力の模範となった。今年3月から6月にかけて、中国警察は国際刑事警察机構(ICPO)の枠組みの下、76の加盟国の警察と共同で反詐欺「曙光行働」に参加し、多国籍の詐欺施設1770カ所を破壊し、犯罪容疑者2000人余りを逮捕し、不法資金5000万ドル余りを阻止した。中国の域外詐欺従事者、特にこれらの者の大部分は、高額年俸誘惑に騙されて包ま出国、密入国は犯罪の摘発が少なくない拉致被害を監禁・暴行、虐待致死の迫害されるほどの場合、警察機関が積極的にしたがい、関係省庁を通じて国際協力彼らに対する救助法の執行や教育劝返、帰国后の支援や就職活働にも全力を尽くす。移民管理部門は『出国・入国管理法』により、電信とネット詐欺に従事する者に対して、法律に基づいて出国制限などの措置を取ることを明確に規定している。

中国公安部の関係責任者は、世界の情報化の急速な発展に伴い、電信とネット詐欺犯罪は専門化、産業化、集団化、国際化の特徴を呈しており、各国の警察が直面する重大な挑戦であると同時に、各国政府が管理に取り組む難題でもあると述べた。国際電信とネット詐欺犯罪の取締りに協力することは、各国の警察の共同責任であり、国際社会の広範な共通認識でもある。警察は『電信ネットワーク詐欺防止法』を真剣に徹底させ、法執行の国際協力を一層強化し、電信とネットワーク詐欺犯罪に厳しく打撃を与え、このような犯罪を決して蔓延・発展させず、詐欺分子を決して逃走させない。
