The Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, also a member of the political office of the Communist Party of the Chinese Central Committee, takes on a press conference on Chinese foreign policy and external relationships on the edge of the third session of the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC) in Beijing, capital China, March 7, 2025.

The telecommunications fraud zones in the northern regions of Myanmar near the Chinese border were fully clarified. China, Thailand, Myanmar and Laos work together to carry out a concentrated approach to telecommunications fraud along the Thai border to Myanmar.

Our mission is to separate the black hand that people grabs people and runs out the cancer of the online telecommunications fraud, said Wang.

The Central Committee of the China Communist Party is deeply concerned about compatriots in overseas, and the security and well -being of the people have always been our priority. In 2024 we successfully returned over 10,000 Chinese citizens from high -risk areas such as Lebanon and Haiti, handled more than 50,000 consular protection cases, received over 500,000 calls to the Consular Protection Hotline 12308 and exhibited more than 5,000 security warnings in overseas, as Wang stated.

Online gambling and telecommunications fraud are an important concern for the public, and it is a priority that we will not let go. For some time now, law enforcement and diplomatic departments have worked together in close coordination under the common concerns of the leaders from China and neighboring countries, effectively carried out the cross-border cooperation and made all efforts to save stranded Chinese nationals, said Wang.

In 2025, China will concentrate on the establishment of an international platform for security cooperation in order to deepen security cooperation with countries, especially with partner countries for belt and street initiative, and Lancang-Mekong cooperation countries and to expand the mutual aid “Friends Circle”, said Wang.

In addition, China will use a hotline for consular protection in overseas that offers real-time consortations and support around the clock and improve a number of coordination mechanisms of risk-wovarn and emergency reaction in order to offer more efficient consular protection for compatriots from overseas, which the public offers public peace freight emphasized.
