China's national lawmakers on Saturday began deliberating on a work report from the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP).
Procurator-General Ying Yong delivered the report at the second plenary meeting of the third session of the 14th National People's Congress.
China intensified its crackdown on telecom fraud crimes in 2024, with 78,000 people prosecuted, representing a 53.9 percent rise from the previous year, according to the report.
The SPP has collaborated with the top court and police authorities to formulate guidelines on handling cross-border telecom fraud crimes, the report said.
In one case mentioned in the report, the top procuratorate provided instructions to Zhejiang prosecutors on a case involving 39 members of Myanmar-based criminal groups targeting Chinese nationals.
