Hontiveros: China should do more to fight cybercrime
The Philippine Star|September 22, 2024
China should do more to battle the illegal online gambling and scam call centers run by Chinese criminal syndicates in Southeast Asian countries that often use forced labor, according to Sen.Risa Hontiveros, who led an investigation into the centers.

The UN human rights of fice has said that such gangs have forced hundreds of thousands of people into participating in online scam operations, including false romantic ploys, bogus investment pitches and illegal gambling schemes.

Hontiveros, at a news briefing the other day, also called for stronger international cooperation to end cybercrime, saying that the gangs undermine the rule of law and could provide a platform for espionage activities, although she acknowledged there is no clear evidence linking the gambling hubs to Chinese surveillance operations.
