The Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) of China has declared that it will amplify efforts to counter cross-border wire fraud, identifying it as a priority task for the year 2025. This initiative will involve a concerted effort to ensure the lawful governance of cyberspace and will feature collaboration with public security and other relevant bodies to effectively combat telecom and online scams, especially those that are transnational in nature.
In particular, the SPP is determined to address wire fraud originating from northern Myanmar, a region that is significantly impacted by these criminal activities. They aim to address all aspects of these illicit operations, including targeting the root causes behind them.
Additionally, the SPP has emphasized the importance of legal measures to combat crimes related to the infringement of personal information of citizens online, along with cyber violence and other related offenses. The comprehensive approach aims to create a safer cyber environment for individuals.

What about individual freedoms? Increasing government oversight can lead to more censorship and less privacy for citizens.

Focusing on cybersecurity is great, but what about the underlying socio-economic issues that lead to these crimes?

Is this really going to help? Similar initiatives have failed in the past; it feels like a PR move more than genuine action.

China's laws often overreach. I worry this will lead to unjust punishment of innocent people.
