China Addresses Alleged Detainment of Chinese Citizens in Pakistan

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, on August 17, Lin Jian, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hosted a regular press conference.

After the meeting, a journalist asked: Some Pakistani media reported that over 100 Chinese citizens were detained last week for operating 'illegal call centers' in that country. Does the spokesperson have more information? What is his comment on this?

Lin Jian said that the Chinese government has always taken strict measures against fraud crimes. It requires Chinese citizens abroad to strictly abide by local laws and regulations and not engage in illegal activities. At the same time, China actively carries out international cooperation to combat fraud crimes. The establishment of an international alliance to combat telecommunications and network fraud has been initiated. It is hoped that all parties will work hand in hand with the Chinese side to combat crime.
