China has executed 11 members of the Ming family, an influential family that ran large-scale fraud centers and gambling operations in Myanmar.A court in Zhejiang province sentenced the family in September on a variety of charges including murder, illegal detention, fraud and operating a gambling den, the BBC reported.The execution marks one of the most significant achievements in China’s recent crackdown on cross-border fraud networks. The Ming family was one of several clans that effectively controlled the Myanmar town of La Khine, near the Chinese border. Under their influence, Lau Khanh, once a remote and impoverished area, was transformed into a center of casinos, fraud centers, and red-light districts.According to the court, the family’s criminal activities generated more than 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) from 2015 to 2023. The operation left 14 Chinese people dead and many injured.The group’s collapse began in 2023, when Myanmar authorities arrested members of the Ming family and handed them over to China. The move follows sustained pressure from the Chinese government as it ramps up efforts to curb wire fraud and illegal gambling activities targeting Chinese citizens. The case reflects China’s tough stance against overseas fraud syndicates and signals that it will continue to work with neighboring countries to dismantle networks that operate across borders.
