Coordinated laws vital to combating cross-border crimes

Cross-border telecom scams and other criminal cases in Myawaddy, a border town in Myanmar close to Thailand, which is known for scam networks, have highlighted the complexity of cross-border crimes, underscoring the importance of coordinating China's rule of law with foreign-related legal frameworks to handle foreign-related matters.

Although legal systems built on the traditional concept of sovereignty can extend their reach through the extraterritorial application of domestic laws, their actual effectiveness in other sovereign states depends on consultation and cooperation mechanisms between countries.

The proliferation of cross-border crimes in many regions is largely due to the exploitation of the differences in the laws and legal concepts of sovereign states by cross-border gangs.
