At the same time, we also see that cracking down on telecommunications network fraud and crimes is a complex social governance issue, the current finance, telecommunications, Internet and other industries are often used by lawbreakers as fraud channels, key areas of comprehensive governance also need to be strengthened, it is urgent to comprehensively summarize the successful experience of cracking down on governance in recent years on the basis of doing a good job of top-level design. The formulation and promulgation of the "Opinions" at the central level is conducive to promoting the construction of a work pattern of "party committee leadership, government leadership, departmental responsibility, industry supervision, joint management by relevant parties, and extensive participation of all sectors of society", effectively improving the ability to combat governance, resolutely curbing the high incidence of telecommunications network fraud and crimes, and making the people's sense of gain, happiness and security more fulfilling, more secure and more sustainable.

Question: Please introduce the general idea of drafting the Opinions.

A: When drafting documents with relevant departments, we mainly have the following considerations in mind.

The first is to resolutely implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee. Take the deployment requirements of the Party Central Committee on cracking down on and controlling telecommunications network fraud and crimes as a fundamental guideline, persist in taking a multi-pronged approach and adopt multiple strategies at the same time, grasp and manage together, form a joint force, and resolutely curb the high incidence of telecommunications network fraud and crimes.

Adhere to the in-depth crackdown of the whole chain, improve the investigation and handling mechanism of fraudulent funds, strengthen legal support, strengthen international law enforcement and judicial cooperation, and continuously improve the effectiveness of cracking down on telecommunications network fraud and illegal crimes. The third is to effectively strengthen the responsibility for the governance of the source of industry supervision. Strengthen the technical countermeasures and early warning monitoring capabilities of the competent departments of finance, telecommunications, the Internet, and other industries, and further clarify the regulatory responsibilities of the financial, telecommunications, and Internet industries through establishing and completing systems such as security assessments, accountability pursuits, and credit punishments, and promote relevant industries to strengthen governance at the source. The fourth is to implement the responsibility for comprehensive management of territorial control and control. By clarifying the responsibilities of the main body and strengthening the comprehensive rectification of the source of crimes, we will give full play to the important role of the territory in eliminating the black and ash industry involved in fraud.

Q: What are the main contents of the Opinions?

Answer: The formulation and issuance of the "Opinions" is an important measure to thoroughly implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee. The "Opinions" is an important normative document on cracking down on the work of cracking down on telecommunications network fraud and illegal crimes, and provides an important guideline for doing a good job in cracking down on governance in the coming period. The "Opinions" focus on cracking down on the work of cracking down on the illegal and criminal work of telecommunications network fraud, and focus on the need to do a good job in five aspects.

First, severely crack down on telecommunications network fraud and crimes in accordance with the law. Judging from the situation of cracking down on telecommunications network fraud and crimes in recent years, we must regard severe punishment according to law and in-depth crackdown on the whole chain as the primary task, and continue to strike hard at telecommunications network fraud and crimes, so as to form an effective deterrent. The "Opinions" clearly pointed out that political and legal organs should severely crack down on behind-the-scenes organizers, investors, and planners in accordance with the law, organizations and personnel that provide services such as money laundering, technology platforms, drainage and promotion, personnel recruitment, and sneaking across national (border) borders for the implementation of telecommunications network fraud and crimes, as well as related illegal crimes such as buying and selling bank cards, telephone cards, citizens' personal information, and enterprise business license information. It is clear that political and legal organs should improve the mechanism for investigating and handling fraudulent funds, and maximize the recovery of stolen funds and recover losses.

Second, build a strict prevention system. It is better to solve the case quickly than not to start the case, and it is better not to be deceived than to chase more stolen goods. The "Opinions" comprehensively implement the concept of "prevention first" from three aspects, such as strengthening technological countermeasures, early warning and dissuasion, and publicity and education. Clarify that relevant industry departments, financial institutions, telecommunications business operators, and Internet service providers should enhance their ability to respond technically, improve risk control measures, establish and improve special systems for early warning and dissuasion, and promptly discover potential victims. It is clear that all localities should establish an all-round and wide-coverage anti-fraud publicity and education system to form a strong atmosphere of anti-fraud in the whole society.

Third, strengthen the governance of the source of industry supervision. In general, cracking down on the management of telecommunications network fraud and crimes is a complex social governance issue, we must take industry governance as an important content, finance, telecommunications, Internet and other industry authorities should strengthen industry governance, so that telecommunications network fraud has nowhere to take root. The "Opinions" clearly put forward the establishment and improvement of the industry security assessment and access system, and those who do not meet the security assessment and access conditions are prohibited from practicing; it is necessary to establish an industry risk monitoring mechanism, improve the ability to identify and intercept risks, and take control measures in a timely manner; it is necessary to establish and implement a system for the management of telephone users' online points and the industry blacklist system to clean up and rectify high-risk businesses that are frequently applied to fraud-related fields; it is necessary to strictly implement the security management system and technical measures such as real-name registration of online accounts, and timely discovery. Dispose of abnormal network accounts and network black and gray industry information. It is clear that it is necessary to establish and complete a three-level responsibility system for competent departments, enterprises, and users of the industry, and establish a system for the list of entities seriously untrustworthy in telecommunications network fraud.

Fourth, strengthen the comprehensive management of territorial control and control. Practice has proved that telecommunications network fraud has regional characteristics, and areas where the dens of telecommunications network fraud are concentrated are often involved in the proliferation of black and ash industries, and the problems of industry governance are prominent. Strengthening the comprehensive rectification of the source of crime is a key move to crack down on the illegal crimes of telecommunications network fraud. The "Opinions" clearly put forward the need to strengthen the comprehensive rectification of the source of crime, timely discover and eradicate criminal dens, establish channels for pushing clues and reporting, and eliminate local black and gray industries involved in fraud.

Fifth, strengthen organizational implementation. Strong organizational leadership is an important guarantee for effectively curbing telecommunications network fraud and crimes. The "Opinions" clearly put forward the need to coordinate forces and resources, strengthen comprehensive safeguards, promote the construction of anti-fraud special platforms and anti-fraud professional teams at all levels, and comprehensively improve the ability to crack down on telecommunications network fraud and crimes.
