China pushes neighboring countries to rein in scams after rare public outcry

Live Mint  

Authorities in Beijing are ramping up pressure on neighbors to rein in cyberscams after the high-profile kidnapping of a young Chinese actor who says he was trafficked into a criminal enclave in Myanmar. The officials from Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and China pledged to arrest ringleaders, shut down so-called scam dens and free victims of human trafficking, according to a report on Chinese state television. Wang Xing disappeared from a town on Thailand’s border with Myanmar on Jan. 3 and was rescued four days later, following an unusually powerful public-pressure campaign on China’s tightly controlled domestic news and social-media outlets. China’s Ministry of Public Security later said authorities “dug out a criminal group" that recruited models, actors and film crews by enticing them to Thailand with job offers that were fake and selling them to scam dens. “For China to allow collective action like this shows that they believe it’s in their interest to do something," he said, adding that China may point to domestic public anger to gain leverage when negotiating with neighbors over police access and other security-related matters.
