China has launched a 46-nation alliance to fight cross-border phone and internet fraud, bringing together law enforcement officials from founding countries, 34 observer states, and international organizations including the United Nations and Interpol. China Daily reported the alliance was established at a conference in Lianyungang, where members agreed to share information, coordinate investigations, and pursue criminal networks operating across borders.
Officials said telecommunications and cyber fraud has become a global problem that no single country can solve alone. News Xinhua reported that China's Public Security Minister Wang Xiaohong chaired the founding conference, while Vietnam's delegation emphasized using existing UN conventions to shift from reactive responses to coordinated action against fraud rings.
46 Countries Unite Against Telecom Fraud
The International Alliance Combating Telecom and Cyber Fraud was formally launched at the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum in Lianyungang from September 8 to 10. iGaming Today reported that founding members include China, Vietnam, Laos, Kenya, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Russia. All participants signed a joint statement calling for a specialized, practical framework to protect people, businesses, and organizations from fraud.
The alliance brings together not just governments but also China Daily reported 34 observer states and four major international organizations. This broad coalition signals recognition that phone and internet scams cross borders faster than any single law enforcement agency can respond.
Vietnam Pushes for Legal Framework and Prevention
Vietnam's Public Security Minister Luong Tam Quang urged the alliance to enforce two existing UN conventions: one against transnational organized crime and another against cybercrime. News Xinhua reported that Vietnam highlighted the October 2025 opening ceremony of the UN Convention against Cybercrime in Hanoi as a historic step—the first comprehensive UN legal framework for global cooperation on cybercrime prevention and prosecution.
Vietnam proposed using the alliance to make implementation of both UN conventions a model for applying international law across borders. By shifting focus from responding to fraud after it happens to preventing it before criminals strike, the alliance aims to disrupt criminal networks at their source.
China Commits to Building a Global Platform
Chinese State Councilor Wang Xiaohong pledged to work with all parties to transform the alliance into an important global platform. Newsy Today reported Wang's commitment to strengthen cooperation among law enforcement agencies through information sharing and coordinated investigations. The goal is to make the alliance move beyond symbolic commitments to actual joint operations against fraud rings.
The alliance reflects growing recognition that cybercriminals operate as networked organizations that cross dozens of countries in days. By centralizing intelligence and coordinating enforcement actions, the 46-nation coalition aims to make it harder for scammers to hide behind borders and escape prosecution.
