BEIJING, March 9 (Xinhua) -- China will step up efforts to crack down on telecom and online fraud crimes this year, according to a work report of the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Monday.
In the past year, charges were filed against about 69,000 individuals over telecom and online fraud crimes, according to the report submitted to the ongoing national legislative session for deliberation.
The country hit hard on cross-border telecom fraud in 2025, prosecuting 285 people over suspected crimes of fraud, intentional homicide, and intentional injury targeting Chinese citizens under the shelter of criminal gangs operating in northern Myanmar, showed the report.
