The convening of this China-Thailand conference is clearly a significant turning point, marking the potential end of the era for illegal activities and transnational telecommunications fraud gangs in the Myawaddy region of Myanmar.
With the joint actions of China and Thailand, especially the tough stance of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security, the "grey industry" in Myawaddy, Myanmar, is finally facing a severe crackdown.
Liu Zhongyi led a delegation from the Chinese Ministry of Public Security to visit Mae Sot County in Tak, Thailand, and conducted on-site inspections of the "New City Ditch Valley Economic Zone" and KK Park in Myawaddy, which have long been notorious centers for telecommunications fraud. This series of inspections and meetings, compared to past formalized procedures, appeared particularly tough, especially the "demands" proposed by the Chinese side, which not only required the Thai side to provide detailed information but also explicitly proposed comprehensive sweeps, extradition, and joint law enforcement measures.
This clear demand and action plan directly address the potential issue of "collusion" at the higher levels of the Thai side, especially in the prevention and combat of cross-border crimes.
The emphasis at the meeting, especially on the serious handling of transnational telecommunications fraud gangs, means that the "grey industry" in Myawaddy is about to face a harsh reckoning.
The joint law enforcement by the Chinese and Thai sides, especially in terms of arrests and extradition, means that these criminal activities in Myanmar will find it difficult to continue sheltering in the future.
