From freeing scam centre victims to sharing police techniques, China is looking to expand its influence and protect citizens overseas.
China is employing police diplomacy to enhance its influence and protect citizens abroad, particularly in developing nations. Recent actions include repatriating scam victims from Myanmar and collaborating with Thailand and Myanmar to combat cyber fraud, which has raised human rights concerns. Additionally, China is providing police training in the Solomon Islands, part of a strategy to project security partnerships. However, these efforts are attracting international scrutiny, especially as countries like Australia seek to counterbalance China's growing influence in the region.
