China's Supreme People's Court approved the death sentences, leading to the execution of 11 members of a Myanmar-based telecom fraud syndicate by the Wenzhou Intermediate People's Court on January 29. The group, including leaders Ming Guoping and Ming Zhenzhen, was convicted of intentional homicide, injury, illegal detention, fraud, and operating gambling dens, with illicit funds exceeding 10 billion RMB (about $1.4 billion).
China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday that the country will intensify efforts to combat telecom fraud, online gambling, and related cross-border crimes. This comes after reports of the execution of four members from the Bai family criminal syndicate, following the execution of 11 members from the Ming family group. China has cooperated with Myanmar and other nations, yielding notable results in curbing these crimes.
