China executed four individuals convicted of running scam and gambling operations in Myanmar, responsible for over $4 billion in fraud and the deaths of six Chinese citizens. The Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court announced the executions, which follow the execution of 11 others last week for similar crimes. The group operated from industrial parks in Myanmar's Kokang region, engaging in telecom scams, abductions, extortion, forced prostitution, and drug trafficking. These actions are part of a larger crackdown by Beijing on scam centers across Southeast Asia, particularly in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos, where such operations have become widespread. The court stated the crimes were exceptionally heinous and posed a significant threat to society.
