The Ministry of Public Security (PBS) has prioritized cases of Chinese citizens lured abroad and subsequently being lost or trapped. Families have sought help through various channels, including social media. In response, the PBS has deployed local police departments to sort out these cases and launch thorough investigations.
With the support and assistance from the Foreign Ministry and Chinese embassies, coordinated rescue efforts are underway. Fraudulent operations often entice individuals with promises of high-paying jobs and free accommodations, aiming to deceive people into engaging in illegal activities such as telecom and online fraud.
The public is urged to remain vigilant, enhance personal safety precautions, and avoid trusting high-paying overseas job offers to prevent falling victim to scams. Public security authorities also remind those whose relatives have gone missing or become trapped abroad to promptly report the cases to their local public security bureau and seek assistance through official channels.
Investigations into such cases will be launched immediately, with coordination from relevant departments to locate and rescue those affected, said the PBS.
