Honey, did you see the news? In an office building in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, the police arrested 80 telecom fraud suspects, and 57 of them are Chinese.

I saw it too. On the outside that place looked like a company, but in fact it was a scam factory, with equipment piled up in rooms. Cross-border telecom fraud is really getting out of control now.

What shocked me is that these criminal gangs include Chinese, Myanmar nationals, Malaysians, and also local Cambodians. It has already become an industrial chain.

And the news also mentioned that some Chinese in Cambodia specifically target their own compatriots, doing kidnapping and extortion. It’s really chilling.

The Chinese Embassy has also spoken out, demanding that the Cambodian side find out the truth and protect the safety of Chinese citizens. It seems people who go there to work and live in the future really need to be careful.

Now with so many overseas scams, it’s actually a double blow to both the image and the safety of Chinese people. It also reminds us that we must not have illusions about ‘lawless zones’; when going abroad, we must obey the law even more.

Yes, this phenomenon of compatriots harming compatriots is terrifying. I hope the police can investigate thoroughly and let everyone who breaks the law receive the punishment they deserve.

I hope so too, and I also hope people can be more vigilant, not easily trust strangers, and definitely not take part in illegal activities. Otherwise, nowhere will be safe.
