China’s relentless fight against telecom and online fraud has become a cornerstone of its efforts to safeguard public property and dignity. This year marks the fifth anniversary of Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law, which has guided the nation’s intensified crackdown on fraudulent activities. Beijing police officer Xing Yunwei highlights the challenges in convincing victims of scams, emphasizing the importance of protecting not just finances but also the peace of mind of the public. In one notable case, an elderly woman, targeted by online scammers, was persuaded to cooperate after persistent efforts by law enforcement, leading to the recovery of most of her stolen funds. The Anti-Telecom and Online Fraud Law, enacted in December 2022, has been pivotal in clarifying responsibilities across government departments, telecom operators, and financial institutions, ensuring efficient and accountable law enforcement. From 2021 to July 2025, China’s public security organs have solved nearly 1.74 million telecom-fraud cases, arrested 366,000 suspects, and intercepted billions of scam calls and messages. The national anti-fraud center has issued over 20 million fund early-warning alerts, and local police have conducted face-to-face visits to prevent potential victims from transferring money. Joint operations with countries like Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia have led to the apprehension of over 80,000 suspects. The campaign reflects China’s commitment to addressing urgent public issues, dismantling criminal organizations, and protecting legitimate rights and interests. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law, law enforcement agencies continue to serve the people, ensuring a safer and more secure society.
