In the past few days, the people in China finally know what it means to "pass on the shelf". Without using the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the People's Armed Police Force, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) took the lead, and several public security bureaus in China issued several wanted warrants, and the family of wire fraudsters, which had been entrenched in Kokang for many years, was declared extinct. With the arrest of Bai Suocheng, Bai Yingcang, Wei Huairen, Liu Zhengxiang, Liu Zhengmao, and Xu Laofa, six important leaders of the Kokang wire fraud criminal group in northern Myanmar, the rampant wire fraud in northern Myanmar has come to an end. Although there are still four criminal suspects at large, Bai Yinglan, Wei Rong, Wei Qingsong, and Liu Jiguang, they have lost the base camp of Laojie, and they can't make any waves, and it is a matter of time before they are caught.
Since then, the Kokang electric fraud family has been uprooted, and when Kokang was under the rule of the "Kokang King" Peng Jiasheng, there was no problem of electric fraud. In 2009, the August 8 Incident broke out in the Kokang region, and fierce confrontations broke out between the Burmese state army and the local ethnic armed forces, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDA) led by Peng Jiasheng. At the critical moment, Peng Jiasheng's deputy and deputy commander Bai Suocheng, as well as several other high-ranking military officers, Wei Chaoren and Liu Guoxi, unexpectedly defected, breaking the internal unity of the MNDA, and at this point, Peng Jiasheng lost his original power base and was forced into exile. Bai Suocheng, Wei Chaoren and Liu Guoxi acted together, led their supporters, reorganized their forces, and reached a certain degree of consensus and agreement to divide the sphere of influence with the fourth power boss Liu Zhengxiang (also known as Liu Abao). These four emerging forces quickly filled the power vacuum left by Peng Jiasheng, and then took control of the military and political power in the Kokang region. In the years that followed, they monopolized the region's mineral resources, gambling industry, real estate market, commercial activities and other economic fields, accumulating huge wealth and influence in the local area, collectively known as "Bai Wei Erliu".
Later, another force, the Ming family, gradually rose to prominence in the Kokang political and business circles, starting late, but its growing influence became a "rising star" in the region. The five families, who wield real power in Kokang and the wider northern part of Myanmar, are notorious for their involvement in transnational telecommunications fraud. In order to crack down on telecom fraud, China** has carried out many cross-border law enforcement and transnational criminal activities with Myanmar, but the five Kokang families are armed and do not cooperate with China's actions, resulting in the crackdown on wire fraud crimes every time superficial. But this time, with the comeback of the Kokang National Alliance, the heads and main members of the five major electric fraud families have been arrested one after another, and this electric fraud force has been completely eliminated. Northern Myanmar has been cleared of electric fraud, but the fundamental problem has not been solved, the reason why northern Myanmar has become a nest of electric fraud, the surface reason is that the five major families of Kokang are making waves, but the deeper reason is that Myanmar has been in turmoil for a long time. Myanmar's problems do not exist in isolation, and the entire Southeast Asian region is also facing problems such as weakness, large local power, and insufficient governance capacity. Rampant criminal activities in the local area not only threaten the security and stability of local society, but also have an impact on neighboring countries. China shares borders with Southeast Asian countries, and these issues undoubtedly pose a potential security threat to China. If not properly addressed, Southeast Asia is likely to become a crime hard-hit area similar to Mexico's, and it will be difficult to completely eradicate the problem of recurrent crime.
Against this backdrop, China needs to remain vigilant and strengthen cooperation with Southeast Asian countries to jointly combat cross-border crimes. At the same time, as China promotes the Belt and Road Initiative, Southeast Asia, as an important link connecting the world, needs to pay special attention to security and stability to ensure that the region can not only promote economic development, but also maintain regional peace and order. Attaching importance to the issue of law and order in Southeast Asia is by no means a trivial matter. From the perspective of national stability and regional stability, exploring in-depth cooperation with Southeast Asian countries in the economic, political, cultural and security fields is of great significance for combating crime and maintaining regional security. As a responsible major country, China should focus not only on domestic security, but also on regional and global harmony and stability. In short, Southeast Asia is China's first stop to the world, and it is also the starting point of the Belt and Road Initiative, and it is also a pilot for joint governance between China and countries around the world. The content of the work is not only to combat criminal activities, but also to comprehensively manage society, improve the business environment and alleviate poverty. This is an arduous battle, and it is also a challenge that our country must face in the future to the world.
