A group of 200 Chinese citizens suspected of involvement in telecom fraud arrived on Thursday in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, escorted by Chinese police, after being repatriated from Myanmar.

2月20日，一批200名涉嫌参与电信诈骗的中国籍犯罪嫌疑人在中国警方押解下，从缅甸被遣返回国，抵达江苏省南京市。

The suspects were first sent to Thailand's Mae Sot, which borders Myanmar's Myawaddy, before being flown back to China on four chartered flights. The first chartered flight arrived at Nanjing Lukou International Airport in the afternoon.

该批嫌疑人先被移送至与缅甸妙瓦底接壤的泰国湄索，随后分乘四架包机回国。2月20日下午,首架包机抵达南京禄口国际机场。

The repatriation marks a significant achievement in law enforcement cooperation among China, Myanmar and Thailand to tackle telecom fraud, the Ministry of Public Security said.

公安部表示，此次遣返行动是中缅泰三国开展执法合作打击电信网络诈骗取得的标志性重大战果。

The move came as the three countries stepped up efforts to crack down on a series of transnational crimes, including telecom and cyberspace fraud, engineered in the scam compounds of Myawaddy.

此次行动正值三国加大力度打击电信诈骗、网络诈骗等一系列跨国犯罪之际，这些犯罪活动主要在妙瓦底的诈骗园区内策划实施。

Calling the repatriation "major progress in close coordination among the three countries", the ministry said its working groups visited Thailand and Myanmar in January to hold multiple rounds of discussions with the two countries' law enforcement departments and they reached a consensus to establish a joint mechanism targeting telecom fraud and human trafficking.

公安部称此次遣返行动是“三国紧密合作取得的重大进展”，并表示今年1月公安部派出工作组赴泰国、缅甸，与两国执法部门进行多轮次会谈，就建立联合打击犯罪机制，共同打击电信网络诈骗、人口贩运等跨国犯罪达成共识。

Thailand cut off electricity, internet and fuel supplies to Myawaddy and strengthened patrols to prevent illegal border crossings by individuals involved in fraud. Myanmar deployed forces to raid telecom fraud dens in Myawaddy, arrested suspects and rescued Chinese nationals trapped in scam operations. The joint effort led to a large number of suspects being captured in Myawaddy, the ministry said.
