Ambassador's Statement and Cooperation Intentions
Zhang Jianwei, the Chinese Ambassador to Thailand, recently publicly stated that China highly recognizes the achievements of the Thai government in combating online gambling and telecommunications fraud. He emphasized China's willingness to further deepen law enforcement, security, and judicial cooperation with Thailand to jointly combat the network of cross-border gray industries and maintain regional stability and public safety.
This statement shows the mutual willingness of both sides to strengthen cooperation in combating cross-border crime.
Background of the Speech and Event Details
Ambassador Zhang Jianwei attended a media training event in Bangkok on October 24, co-hosted by the Thai Journalists Association and the Chinese Embassy in Thailand, titled "Viewing China in the New Era: What Thai Media Needs to Know." The event aimed to enhance Thai media's understanding of China and promote cultural exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.
The ambassador discussed China's development achievements and cooperation intentions in various fields during the event.
China's Development and Experience Sharing
Ambassador Zhang pointed out that China has not only achieved significant breakthroughs in fields such as technological innovation, green energy, and aerospace engineering but has also accumulated rich experience in social governance and cybersecurity. These experiences provide solid support for regional anti-fraud cooperation and can serve as a useful reference for international cooperation.
China's economy maintains a high-quality growth rate of about 5.5%, with a significant increase in the use of green energy.
Thailand's Achievements and Crime Hazards
Ambassador Zhang particularly affirmed the recent actions taken by the Thai government in combating online gambling, telecommunications fraud, and illegal online gambling groups. He pointed out that these criminal groups often use Southeast Asia as a base, with hidden money laundering and human trafficking chains, posing a serious threat to regional security.
Cross-border criminal activities have become a common challenge faced by countries in the region.
Cooperation Mechanisms and Specific Measures
In the future, China and Thailand will further strengthen intelligence sharing, judicial cooperation, and fund tracking to jointly combat cross-border telecom fraud and online gambling activities. Ambassador Zhang emphasized the need to "cut off the black chains from the root," giving no opportunity to gray industry groups.
This cooperation mechanism will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of combating cross-border crime.
Regional Issues and Neutral Stance
In response to the recent escalation of border friction between Thailand and Cambodia, Ambassador Zhang stated that China maintains a neutral and fair stance, supporting the resolution of disputes through "dialogue" and "ASEAN methods." China opposes any actions that exacerbate regional tensions and is willing to provide communication channels when needed.
This stance reflects China's responsible attitude towards promoting regional peace and stability.
Common Challenges and Response Strategies
Cross-border telecom fraud, online gambling, and money laundering have become common challenges faced by Southeast Asian countries. Ambassador Zhang emphasized that only through united cooperation and information sharing can national security and public peace be safeguarded. The more cunning the gray industry groups, the closer the cooperation between countries needs to be.
This consensus lays a solid foundation for regional cooperation in combating crime.
Green Development and New Ideas for Cooperation
China has made significant progress in green development, with one-third of its electricity now coming from renewable sources, making it the largest user of green energy globally. This development model provides new ideas for countries to work together to combat illegal online activities.
Sustainable development and security governance can promote each other.
Significance and Prospects of International Cooperation
The cooperation between China and Thailand in combating cross-border crime has significant exemplary significance, benefiting not only the security of both countries but also promoting stability in the entire Southeast Asian region. This cooperation model can serve as a reference for other regions, promoting the construction of a broader international collaboration network.
International cooperation is an effective way to address cross-border crime.
Summary and Outlook
Ambassador Zhang Jianwei's speech emphasized the importance and urgency of Sino-Thai cooperation in combating cross-border crime. Both sides will deepen cooperation in law enforcement, judicial, and security fields to jointly maintain regional stability. This cooperation will have a positive impact on the security governance of the Southeast Asian region.
