The spokesperson of the State Administration Council (SAC) Major General Zaw Min Tun addressed that the online scams happening in northeast of Myanmar aren’t that the Myanmar nationals are deceiving Chinese nor Chinese people are deceiving Myanmar people. 

He said that those criminals who committed drugs, financial scams and other crimes and escaping in China are coordinating with the ethnic armed groups (insurgents) from Myanmar to commit the online scams that is currently happening in northeast of Myanmar. 

“They are deceiving both Myanmar and Chinese people,” he said. 

Myanmar has repatriated more than 1,000 Chinese nationals who involved in the online scams to China in last months.
