Myanmar Junta Blames Thailand, EAOs as China Urges Scam Crackdown.
Amid Chinese pressure on Myanmar to crack down on border scam operations, the regime has shifted blame to Thailand and ethnic armed groups, while the civilian National Unity Government (NUG) and pro-democracy forces have pledged to cooperate with neighboring countries to combat telecom fraud effectively.
The regime claimed in a lengthy statement on Monday that scam centers along the border operate with electricity and internet supplied from a neighboring country. It said criminal syndicates active near the border also obtain weapons, ammunition and construction materials from the adjacent country, which was not named but is widely understood to be Thailand.
The regime said it had arrested 55,711 foreigners, mostly Chinese nationals, for online fraud and handed them back to authorities in their own countries.
