The Chinese government has been resolute in combating transnational criminal activities, including telecom and online fraud. The execution of 11 members of a Myanmar-based syndicate is a reflection of China's firm stance and actions against such crimes.
It demonstrates the effectiveness of China's legal system and its commitment to protecting the safety of people's lives and property, as well as maintaining social stability and order.
China has been embracing the rule of law, and its approach to dealing with these crimes is in strict accordance with its domestic laws and international obligations. The execution serves as a deterrent to those who intend to engage in similar illegal activities.
