United Morning Post reported today: "The Chinese authorities announced that 11 criminals involved in the Maing Kha telecom fraud group case in northern Myanmar have been executed by death."

The Wenzhou Intermediate People's Court of Zhejiang Province on September 29, 2025, sentenced 11 people including Ming Guoping, Ming Zhenzhen, Zhou Weichang, Wu Hongming, Wu Senlong, and Fu Yubin of the Maing Kha criminal gang to death for crimes such as intentional homicide, intentional injury, illegal detention, fraud, and operating a casino, and imposed corresponding additional penalties.

The Supreme Court confirmed upon review that since 2015, the Maing Kha criminal gang centered around Ming Guoping and Ming Zhenzhen has set up parks in multiple places in Kachin, providing armed protection for several "masters" such as Wu Hongming, jointly committing telecom fraud and operating casinos. The case involved over 10 billion yuan in funds, and also colluded with other telecom fraud gangs to brutally kill victims of fraud, resulting in the deaths of 14 Chinese citizens and injuries to many others. The nature of the crime was extremely heinous.

Comment briefly: The execution of the 11 core criminals of the Maing Kha telecom fraud gang is a powerful response of the rule of law against extreme malicious crimes. This gang provided armed protection for fraud, brutally killed compatriots, led to the deaths of 14 Chinese citizens, and involved over 10 billion yuan in cases. Their crimes were too numerous to be recorded in bamboo slips. The death penalty judgment conforms to the principle of proportionality between crime and punishment, comforts the families of the victims, and achieves a complete loop of "investigation, arrest, prosecution, trial, and execution" in cross-border telecom fraud. It not only demonstrates China's determination to hold overseas crimes accountable domestically but also deters transnational telecom fraud groups in northern Myanmar and around the world, laying a solid foundation for subsequent cross-border governance and eradicating the soil of telecom fraud. It is an important milestone in safeguarding people's livelihood security and upholding the dignity of the rule of law.
