On July 28, 2020, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference where Liu Zhongyi, Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, reported that with the rapid development of the information society, the crime structure has undergone profound changes. Traditional contact crimes continue to decline, while new crimes represented by telecom network fraud are on the rise, becoming the fastest-growing and most strongly reported crimes by the public. These crimes show characteristics such as continuous high occurrence rates, rapid growth in online fraud, quick relocation of fraud nests, gradual generalization of criminal groups, and rampant black and gray industries. In recent years, both the “practitioners” of such cases and the number of cases have grown explosively. The report from the Ministry of Public Security pointed out that under the influence of multiple factors such as the pandemic, economic downturn, and increased employment pressure, production and life have accelerated their shift online, leading to various types of fraud targeting different groups—loan fraud targeting netizens with financial shortages, part-time job fraud targeting unemployed netizens, online shopping scam targeting frequent shoppers, fake investment platforms targeting those with investment intentions, and impersonation scams of public security and legal officials. In 2020, there were 256,000 telecom fraud cases solved, 263,000 criminal suspects arrested, 140 million scam calls intercepted, 870 million scam texts intercepted, and 120 billion yuan in direct economic losses recovered.
