China said it would cooperate with relevant countries to save Chinese citizens who have fallen victim to online fraud in other countries, including Myanmar, reported the Bangkok Post.

China's Ministry of Public Security said on Wednesday that it will make every effort to save Chinese citizens who have fallen into the hands of fraudsters in other countries, including Myanmar.

China intends to work with other countries' law enforcement agencies to rescue citizens trapped overseas and dismantle online fraud sites, the Bangkok Post quoted CCTV as saying in a press release.

The Bangkok Post cited a press release by China's state-owned CCTV as saying that the victims were being lured to online fraud sites operating in cities such as Myawady through the towns of Mae Sot, a Tak province bordering Thailand, with promises of high-paying jobs, food, accommodation and airline tickets by the fraud gangs.

CCTV cited the case of a Chinese actor who was found missing in a Tak province earlier this month as a notable incident.

The Chinese actor who was rescued is believed to have been a victim of human trafficking, Thai authorities said.

In addition, CCTV's news coverage also described a campaign with Myanmar authorities to bring down the Kokang “Four Families” operating along the Myanmar border with Yunnan province in China.
