Over 800 Chinese repatriated from Myanmar

More than 800 Chinese nationals involved in online gambling and telecom fraud crimes have been repatriated from Myanmar, the Ministry of Public Security said Wednesday.

The move was a result of the year-long joint operations by Chinese, Thai and Myanmar police targetting cross-border telecom fraud and online gambling, the ministry said in a press release.

Chinese police will step up international law enforcement cooperation and continue cracking down on these cross-border crimes, the ministry said.
