China's Proactive Approach Towards Combating Telecom and Cyber Fraud: A Steep Increase in Indictments

Chinese procuratorates report a significant rise in indictments for cyber crimes as part of a broader crackdown on crime nationwide.
In recent figures released for the period from January to November 2024, Chinese procuratorates have indicted over 67,000 individuals for telecom and cyber fraud, marking an impressive 58.5 percent increase compared to the previous year.

This surge reflects China's steadfast approach to combating digital crimes amid an evolving cyber landscape.

In a meeting chaired by the nation's chief prosecutors, it was revealed that the initiative to address crimes with great public concern has also seen the indictment of 9,867 individuals for organized crime, as well as 1,136 for crimes involving abduction or trafficking of women and children.

As part of their proactive stance, procuratorates have undertaken substantial efforts to address severe and violent crimes, with 55,000 individuals indicted for such offenses during the same period.

The meeting also highlighted a robust crackdown on corruption, with more than 28,000 duty-related crime suspects transferred from supervision commissions, resulting in the indictment of 22,000 suspects.

Significantly, procuratorates targeted the giving and receiving of bribes, indicting 2,772 individuals for offering bribes—a 20.2 percent rise year-on-year.

Reflecting China's commitment to protecting the younger generation, procuratorates have shown zero tolerance towards crimes against minors, indicting 67,000 individuals for crimes targeting minors, while over 50,000 minors were indicted for serious offenses.

Furthermore, the safeguarding of cultural heritage saw robust legal action, with 3,856 public interest litigation cases handled regarding cultural relic protection—a 44 percent increase year-on-year.

This led to 1,619 indictments for crimes such as illegal excavation, theft, and smuggling of cultural relics.

The proactive enforcement measures also extended to economic domains, with over 121,000 individuals indicted for crimes impacting the socialist market economy, an 18.7 percent rise.

Financial fraud and disruption of the financial management order constituted about 22,000 of these cases.

In an effort to protect vulnerable populations, Chinese procuratorates also indicted 43,000 individuals for infringing upon the rights of women and 40,000 for infringing upon the rights of the elderly.

To aid those affected by these crimes, more than 620 million yuan ($86.25 million USD) in judicial relief was provided to 64,000 victims.

These comprehensive measures demonstrate China's commitment to enforcing the rule of law and ensuring societal order, reflecting a broader national focus on maintaining public security and bolstering legal frameworks.
