A
A group of 200 Chinese citizens suspected of involvement in telecom fraud arrived on Thursday in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, escorted by Chinese police, after being repatriated from Myanmar.
The suspects were first sent to Thailand's Mae Sot, which borders Myanmar's Myawaddy, before being flown back to China on four chartered flights. The first chartered flight arrived at Nanjing Lukou International Airport in the afternoon.
The repatriation marks a significant achievement in law enforcement cooperation among China, Myanmar and Thailand to tackle telecom fraud, the Ministry of Public Security said.
The move came as the three countries stepped up efforts to crack down on a series of transnational crimes, including telecom and cyberspace fraud, engineered in the scam compounds of Myawaddy.
Calling the repatriation "major progress in close coordination among the three countries", the ministry said its working groups visited Thailand and Myanmar in January to hold multiple rounds of discussions with the two countries' law enforcement departments and they reached a consensus to establish a joint mechanism targeting telecom fraud and human trafficking.
Thailand cut off electricity, internet and fuel supplies to Myawaddy and strengthened patrols to prevent illegal border crossings by individuals involved in fraud. Myanmar deployed forces to raid telecom fraud dens in Myawaddy, arrested suspects and rescued Chinese nationals trapped in scam operations. The joint effort led to a large number of suspects being captured in Myawaddy, the ministry said.
The 200 suspects repatriated on Thursday were escorted by Jiangsu police, who are expected to bring more than 800 other suspects back to China.
Ding Jie, a police officer and a member of an anti-fraud team of the Jiangsu Public Security Department, said the police will conduct thorough investigation of the cases that the suspects were involved in.
The ministry said telecom fraud and other transnational crimes have become a global challenge and require strengthened international law enforcement cooperation, adding that China, Myanmar and Thailand would carry out joint operations to combat such crimes on a regular basis.
The Chinese police will deepen cooperation with more countries and do their best to rescue individuals trapped in scam operations, hunt down financial supporters and key members of criminal gangs, and eliminate crime dens, it said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a daily news briefing on Thursday that fighting online gambling and scams is a must in order to safeguard the common interests of countries in the region, and is a shared aspiration of people of all countries.
China is working closely with countries including Thailand and Myanmar to "address both symptoms and the root cause" of such crimes, Guo added.

Although the diplomatic tensions over a South African land restitution law that the Donald Trump administration has labeled land "confiscation" and unfair to whites seem to be the factor that prompted US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's boycotting of the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Johannesburg on Thursday, the absence of the top US diplomat had in effect saved an awkward moment that the deepening of rift between the US and its allies over Ukraine crisis is exposed to be unstoppable.
Yet the divide between the rest of the developed economies in the group and the emerging economies of the Global South was clearly shown in that the former expected to focus the conference on the resolution of the Ukraine crises, while the latter hoped to deal with what they say are much-needed reforms to international institutions, which they rightfully believe are the root causes of the burning issues.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said, "It is critical that the principles of the UN Charter, multilateralism and international law should remain at the center of all our endeavors. It should be the glue that keeps us together," calling for "cooperation" and "constructive engagement" to resolve conflicts.
South Africa, which assumed the G20's rotating presidency last year, is the first African country to host the foreign ministers' forum. Its ambition to take advantage of the opportunity to promote its agenda as a key member of the Global South and the major player on the world stage is understandable.
Yet, although the rest of the G20 members share similar concerns over the impacts of the "America-first" Trump administration, the divide among them over such key issues as the Ukraine crisis and climate change cannot be bridged simply by such calls of the South African leader.
As some observers point out, the program of pursuing a common developmental agenda as put forth by the Global South nations already suffers a perceived lack of urgency and is now under threat of being further overshadowed by ongoing geopolitical upheaval in the form of conflict, compounded by a dramatic realignment of US foreign policy under Trump.
So despite Rubio's absence from the meeting, it was US factors that cast a shadow over the gathering, preventing the group, which represents 85 percent of the global economic output, from reaching even a basic consensus for a coordinated response to neither such burning issues as the Ukraine crisis nor the long-term agenda on the reforms of world order.
So, as Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in his speech at the meeting, it is necessary to revisit the consensus reached at the Rio de Janeiro summit, work together as a force for world peace and stability, and build a safer world, he said, noting that China is ready to work with all parties toward that end.
As for the Ukraine crisis, it should be a consensus that, after the losses of tens of thousands of lives over the past three years, it cannot be easily settled through either side's victory on the battlefield, neither can sanctions work the way out. It should be and can only be resolved through dialogue and negotiation, which should be conducive to the formation of a lasting, balanced and workable new security architecture for Europe rather than usher the continent in a new round of bloc confrontation.
As Wang noted, the countries should work together as creators of universal security and ensure the security of one country should not be at the expense of the security of others, and the legitimate security concerns of all countries should be taken seriously.
There is no doubt that, as for the Ukraine crisis, the window for peace is opening, and China always stands for an early and peaceful resolution of the crisis and will continue to play a constructive role in its political settlement.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations and the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. History proves that the more complex the international situation and the more prominent global challenges become, the more important it is to uphold the authority of the UN and give full play to its role.
The historical lessons are still relevant to the volatile world situation today.

The rise of DeepSeek and Ne Zha 2 signifies that China's innovation ecosystem is gaining a stronger foundation, paving the way for the emergence of more groundbreaking innovations that "we might not even be able to imagine now", said a distinguished economist and financial expert.
This wave of innovation is expected to bolster domestic demand, help the Chinese economy maintain a GDP growth rate of around 5 percent this year, and possibly underpin a sustained rally of Chinese equities, Tian Xuan, associate dean of Tsinghua University's PBC School of Finance, said in an exclusive interview with China Daily.
Tian said three phenomenal events unfolded at the start of the year — the rise of artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek in East China's Zhejiang province; the box office success of animated film Ne Zha 2, whose production team is based in Southwest China's Sichuan province; and the remarkable sales achieved by supermarket chain Pangdonglai in Henan province, central China.
Tian, also chair of the National Institute of Financial Research, Tsinghua University, said that these achievements represent China's latest progress in technology innovation, cultural and creative innovation, and business model innovation.
"The simultaneous blossoming of innovation in different regions indicates that China has developed into a cultivated fertile ground for innovation. With the government continuously launching institutional arrangements to optimize the technological innovation ecosystem, it is entirely possible for some groundbreaking technological innovations and services to emerge in 2025 or beyond, things we might not even be able to imagine now," Tian said.
Such growing momentum of innovation will help China counter the risk of shrinking external demand amid US tariff uncertainties, providing more products and services that meet people's needs and thus vitalizing consumer spending, Tian said, taking the record box office of Ne Zha 2 as an example.
The innovation boom has also bolstered investor confidence in China's stock market, drawing increased allocation from foreign investors, Tian said.
"The valuation of Chinese financial assets, including in the secondary market, is currently at a low point. I believe the re-rating of the valuation of Chinese equities is still in its early stages."
Expecting to see widespread AI adoption in China, Goldman Sachs has raised its 12-month CSI 300 Index target from 4,600 points to 4,700 points, implying a potential 19 percent price increase from now and pointing to the possibility for the Chinese AI story to attract $200 billion of net stock buying.
To further strengthen China's innovation capability, Tian proposed the establishment of a regressive tax system to foster long-term capital investment, whereby taxation rates would decrease as the investment duration lengthens.
"This would encourage investment institutions in the primary market to extend investment horizons, thereby promoting patient capital," said Tian, who is also a deputy to the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.
Tian made the remarks ahead of this year's two sessions, the meetings of the NPC and the country's top political advisory body, during which key economic targets and policy agenda for 2025 will be unveiled.
Tian said this year's economic growth target will likely remain at "around 5 percent", the same as last year, reflecting the continuity and consistency of policies and aligning with the country's aspirations that its per capita GDP will reach the level of a moderately developed economy by 2035.
"It would be a goal that we need to strive for and reach with extra effort, which can effectively inspire all people across the country to work hard together," Tian said, expecting this year's budgeted deficit-to-GDP ratio to increase to 4 percent or higher.
Tian also expects the government will ramp up support for the property market to bolster economic and financial stability, including encouraging long-term, low-interest loans for real estate companies, optimizing their debt structures and increasing backing for real estate projects via the white list system.
In extreme cases, direct government support may be provided to distressed real estate companies, Tian said, adding that Beijing may lift home purchase limits, except in core areas, in the near future to boost homebuying transactions.
With the proper implementation of policies, Tian said he is "cautiously optimistic" that China's real estate market will stabilize this year in various fronts such as construction, sales and home prices, before experiencing a rally by 2026-27.

A. They only represent local achievements in Zhejiang and Sichuan.
B. They signify that China's innovation ecosystem is getting a stronger foundation.
C. They mainly contribute to the growth of the entertainment industry.
D. They have little impact on China's overall development.
2.What is one of the effects of the innovation wave according to Tian Xuan
A. It will lead to a decrease in domestic demand.
B. It will cause the GDP growth rate to drop below 5%.
C. It is expected to bolster domestic demand and help maintain a certain GDP growth rate.
D. It will make the Chinese economy overly dependent on external demand.
3.Why does Tian Xuan propose the establishment of a regressive tax system
A. To increase short - term capital investment.
B. To encourage investment institutions in the primary market to extend investment horizons.
C. To reduce the tax burden on all investors.
D. To attract more foreign investment.
4.What does Tian Xuan expect the government to do regarding the property market
