Since August this year, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and other countries have jointly enforced the law to clean up the Myawaddy area of Myanmar.
The main task of this sweep is to eliminate the telecom fraud companies and parks entrenched here, and at the same time uproot the black industrial chain born underground.
The operation also incidentally arrested the remnants of telecommunications fraud in northern Myanmar and other criminals engaged in illegal industries, and 186 Chinese criminals were brought to justice.
However, while the joint operation of the four countries was in full swing, the local police station in Myawaddy in Myanmar suddenly came under attack. Who dares to stand up to such presumptuousness with a powerful army, and what kind of purpose do they have?
Chaos in the Myawaddy region
Myawaddy is a town in the border region of Myanmar and Thailand. A few years ago, it was deserted.
However, as telecom fraud in northern Myanmar has been hit hard, armed conflicts in English-speaking Thailand and other places have intensified, so more telecom fraud and underground casinos have gathered in this small town.
As a stronghold for telecom fraud, Myawaddy has a suitable geographical advantage, and escaping from here is almost impossible. If they run in the direction of Thailand, the escapees will be repatriated by Thailand for illegal entry.
If you flee north, the notorious Golden Triangle, even if you want to detour, the locals will get a piece of the telecom fraud chain, and the fugitives will still be sent back.
It is in such a small town that countless people who have been abducted from all over the world are forced to engage in telecom fraud. At its most exaggerated, the park is filled with strong, gun-armed guards every 100 meters.
Layers of barbed wire fence surround this natural prison, where abductees are beaten daily, and some are even removed from alive.
Behind the huge telecom fraud industry is huge profits. It was also driven by profit that criminals in the Myawaddy region hated this joint operation.
Just on September 4, the Myawaddy police station was bombed by drones. The repeated drone bombing killed five people, including the police chief. This is believed to be a demonstration by defrauding black factory gangs in response to the recent clean-up operation of government forces/
The long-standing chaos in the Myawaddy region is inseparable from the chaotic social soil there.
Since the founding of Myanmar, ethnic contradictions in the Myawaddy region have never stopped, and the contradictions between ethnic minorities are most prominent in this "three regards" area on the border between Thailand and Myanmar.
In the face of such chaos, the Myanmar government army is unable to manage it. On the one hand, there is a constant insurgency in various parts of the country, and on the other hand, local armed interests are intertwined, and even if the Myanmar government is nominally stationed, they often collude with these illegal industries in private.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to expect the Myanmar government to solve the fraudulent criminal gangs entrenched in the Myawaddy region.
Considering that criminals often use the dense rainforest to wander the borders of China, Myanmar, Thailand and other countries, but also to combat the arrogance of criminals, the four countries decided to jointly enforce the law to encircle and suppress fraud gangs.
When is Myawaddy clear?
This siege can be said to be effective, but it is difficult to completely eradicate illegal business in the Myawaddy area. The Myawaddy region is barren and populous, and the locals used to make a living by growing contraband.
After government forces cracked down on the drug trade in the Golden Triangle, the region's economy collapsed.
Locals have no legitimate way to make ends meet, so they turn to the telecom fraud industry to make a living. If this scenario is not reversed, new criminals will appear in the Myowaddy region.
The proliferation of weapons throughout Southeast Asia also offers the possibility of these violent crimes. It is reported that the drone that attacked the police is a military model obtained by local criminals, which can drop hidden bombs many times.
In this way, advanced equipment can be comparable to the drones of the Russian army on the Ukrainian battlefield, and the Myanmar government army rarely has such equipment.
Even when it comes to conventional weapons, the Myanmar military has no absolute advantage, especially in the dense rainforest, and dealing with familiar locals is a nightmare.
In addition, the criminals are extremely vicious, and the methods used have frightened some military personnel in Myanmar, and they have also shown weakness in the encirclement and suppression operation. For China, the above bad situation does not defeat the Chinese army.
However, because of the principle of respecting the internal affairs of other countries, it is not convenient for the Chinese government to directly send armed forces to attack criminals. One can only hope to catch criminals as much as possible during the joint operation of multiple countries to delay the impact of telecommunications fraud on the mainland.
Just today, 1,270 Chinese telecom fraudsters were arrested and brought back to China, who were subject to the law at home to be human beings, but began lawlessness after arriving in Myanmar.
It can be seen that many countries in Southeast Asia have become sanctuaries for criminals. We still have a long way to go to eradicate fraud abroad.
