China issued warrants for Ming Xuechang and his family members earlier this week.
BEIJING, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Public Security (MPS) on Thursday announced that Ming Guoping, Ming Julan and Ming Zhenzhen, ringleaders of a telecom and online fraud criminal gang in northern Myanmar's Kokang Self-Administered Zone, have been arrested, and that the chief criminal of the gang Ming Xuechang has committed suicide.
The issuing of the warrants offer the surest sign yet of Beijing’s tacit support for the resistance offensive against the junta-aligned force in Kokang.
Warrants issued for Kokang politician and his three adult children accused of targeting Chinese nationals.
Chinese police have offered a reward between 100,000 to 500,000 yuan ($13,700 to $68,500) for information related to four key ringleaders of a telecom fraud syndicate in the Kokang region of northern Myanmar that targets Chinese citizens.
