二 | BANGKOK -- Zhang Hongliang, a former restaurant manager in central China, took various gigs in and outside China to support his family after losing his job during the COVID-19 pandemic.In March, a job offer to teach Chinese cooking at a restaurant led him into a cyber scam compound in Myanmar, where he was instead ordered to lure Chinese into giving up their savings for fake investment schemes via social media platforms.Zhang is one of tens of thousands of people, mostly but not all Chinese, who have become ensnared in cyber scam networks run by powerful Chinese criminal syndicates in Southeast Asia. Regional and Chinese authorities have netted thousands of people in a crackdown, but experts say they are failing to root out the local elites and criminal networks that are bound to keep running the schemes.When scam operations are shut down in one place they often just resurface elsewhere. The problem is an embarrassment for Beijing and is discouraging ordinary Chinese from traveling to Southeast Asia out of fear they might be duped or kidnapped and caught up in a cyber scam operation. In recent years, media reports have uncovered instances of young people being lured to places in Cambodia or Myanmar for high-paying jobs, only to be forced to work as scammers. Rescue organizations say people are regularly beaten or face physical punishments such as being forced to run laps if they don't perform well. In August, China, Thailand, Laos and Myanmar agreed to set up a joint police operations center to tackle cyber scams in the region. On Oct. 10, China’s Ministry of Public Security announced that its “Summer Operation” had successfully brought back 2,317 scam suspects from northern Myanmar to China.China calls such people suspects, though experts say most of them are victims who were forced to work for the criminals. They question how they will be treated once back in China. The schemes based in countries like Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia are run by Chinese bosses hand-in-hand with local elites. Many are based in places where China has financed big construction projects through leader Xi Jinping’s signature Belt and Road Initiative.Myanmar's border regions long have been a magnet for criminals — historically including drug producers and traffickers — because of lax law enforcement. Such places are generally under the control of ethnic minority armed groups, either opposed to or allied with Myanmar’s central government. Some also cooperate with organized crime gangs.“From the vantage point of the Chinese government, it’s a source of extreme embarrassment that you have so many of these Chinese criminals operating all across Southeast Asia,” said Jason Tower, an expert on transnational crime with the United States Institute of Peace.The syndicates also are known for “pig butchering” cons, where scammers entice individuals, often halfway across the world, to invest their money in bogus schemes after duping them into digital romances.The scammers divide their targets into two categories: Chinese and non-Chinese. They use scripts, images of models and influencers and translation software to trick the people they contact by phone or online into parting with their money. Victims can be anywhere in the world.The criminals have “ridden on the shoulders of the Belt and Road Initiative,” said Tower, who outlined links between the criminals and Chinese state enterprises, think tanks and government officials in a 2020 report written for the United States Institute of Peace.Zhang was working in Thailand and on a visa run to Laos when he met the man who lured him to the scam compound in Myanmar. Giving what he said was his last name, Gao, he claimed to be a broker and travel agent for Chinese living in Thailand. Zhang and his wife wanted extra money to pay for in vitro fertilization to have another child. Gao suggested he go work in Myawaddy, in eastern Myanmar’s Kayin state, teaching a local chef how to cook Chinese dishes in Gao’s new restaurant. The pay would be double what Zhang made in China.Zhang was wary. Since a 2021 coup, military-controlled Myanmar has been embroiled in civil conflict. But Gao reassured him that he wouldn’t be doing anything illegal and said the restaurant would have plenty of customers since many cyber scam businesses were operating in the area.That might have raised a red flag but it was only once he got to Myanmar that Zhang realized his predicament. He asked to go back home, saying there was a family emergency. His family helped him scrape together some 40,000 yuan ($5,472) to pay off the debt Gao claimed he owed him, and he slipped away one night, swimming across the Moei River into Thailand, where he turned himself in to Thai police, who contacted the Chinese Embassy.Zhang showed the AP copies of his deportation notice from the Thai Immigration police and a temporary ID card. He returned to China in late June and was questioned by Chinese police but not detained. He has been sharing his story on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, to alert others to the risks and says people often contact him about relatives trapped in cyber scam compounds.“We all went out with this wonderful sense of hope, but then reality slammed us in the face,” he said.In total, China has detained some 4,000 suspects and returned them back to China. The Ministry of Public Security has claimed “breakthrough results” through operations in coordination with Myanmar authorities. On Monday, they announced they had repatriated another 2,349 people. The ministry did not respond to a faxed request for comment.One 31-year old former chef who was smuggled into Myanmar’s Wa State earlier this year said he saw his company hand over four people to Chinese police with little fanfare in September. Other companies did the same, said the man, who was smuggled into Myanmar and later rescued by a non-profit organization. He declined to be named out of fear of government retribution, and The Associated Press could not independently verify his account.Overall, the enforcement actions don’t seem very comprehensive, experts say. The groups now based in Myanmar originally were located in Cambodia. When Cambodia cracked down on online gambling rings and illegal casinos in 2019, many of the groups just moved to less well policed places in Myanmar. Some were taken over by rival gangs.China's efforts to repair its image have so far not made much headway, said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, a professor of political science at Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University. “You can crack down on these symptoms and the manifestations … that you can see in the borderland areas," he said, "but they’ll come back unless you really have a sustained effort." -—-AP researcher Wanqing Chen in Beijing and AP writers Grant Peck and Jintamas Saksornchai in Bangkok contributed to this report.。

三 | 8月9日傍晚,这个强台风裹挟着狂风暴雨先后在浙江台州玉环坎门和温州乐清翁垟两次强势登陆。 记者深入台州、温州等台风“白海豚”登陆核心区了解到,浙江沿海以“四个宁可”的底线思维迎战大考,从登陆前夕抢抓窗口期筑牢防风防线,到风暴肆虐时抢险力量枕戈待旦,再到登陆过后迅速铺开抢险恢复与隐患排查,一条贯穿始终的生命守护线在一线迎风挺立。 登陆前夕:与时间赛跑的防御 8月9日清晨,距离台风“白海豚”登陆仅剩最后几个小时,这个历经了5次眼壁置换、“吞并”14号台风“鲸鱼”残留低压的强台风,正以每小时10至15公里的速度逼近,环流直径已超1000公里,七级风圈半径达到惊人的420至450公里。 台风逼近的压迫感,在直面东海风浪的最前线尤为真切。记者在台州玉环市大麦屿港海事处工作码头现场看到,台风“白海豚”裹挟着10级左右的大风大雨接踵而至,人站在岸边已经很难站稳。 面对严峻考验,防御战早已打响。 “门窗加固了没有?”“危房里的人撤了没有?”……趁着风雨尚未全面抵达,在与大麦屿港相邻的坎门街道东沙社区,党支部书记陈延辉正带领社区的党员干部和志愿者进行“拉网式”排查,逐户检查临海民房防护和人员转移情况。 这种“抢跑式”的防御工作,在台州、温州沿海各地同步上演。在乐清湾另一端的乐清市清江镇蔡岙村,村党总支书记李法正带领村两委干部和党员志愿者,在渐起的风雨中巡查海塘。 “从7日下午开始,我们就把村里30艘左右的渔船全部吊装上岸,必须做到‘船上岸、人离船’。”李法告诉记者。 在温州,海事部门同样在抢抓窗口期。温州海事局船舶交通管理中心执法人员陈辛庚介绍,自8月3日启动防台应急响应以来,辖区576艘交通运输船、238艘游艇已全部撤离,近3500名船上人员和海岛旅客被安全转移,做到应撤尽撤。 面对这场风雨重压,作为台风登陆核心区的温州、台州两地防台工作全面提速。截至8日晚,台州统筹255支救援队伍前置重点地区,梯次转移4.68万人;温州各级党员干部迅速下沉一线,2.56万名村社两委干部、8.2万名党员志愿者闻令而动,全力投入群众转移、安置点服务等工作,在风暴来临前筑起坚实的安全防线。 8月9日在台州玉环坎门街道东沙社区拍摄的风雨交加的情景。记者 黄宗治 摄 登陆时刻:风暴眼中的守护 9日傍晚,台州玉环市区已经狂风大作,暴雨如注。

四 | 位于玉环市玉城中学的安置点灯火通明,玻璃门窗在狂风中发出阵阵低沉的“嗡嗡”声。

五 | 与窗外形成鲜明对比的,是安置点内的安静。在这里安置着近300名外来务工的建筑工人,大家正三三两两围坐,低声交谈,秩序井然。 9日17时30分、18时40分前后,台风“白海豚”(强台风级)的中心先后在浙江省台州玉环市坎门街道和温州乐清市翁垟街道沿海两次登陆,登陆时中心附近最大风力分别为14级和13级。 记者第一时间赶到坎门街道东沙社区,这里三面环海、一面靠山,是台风第一次登陆的首冲区域。17时30分许,这里狂风裹挟着暴雨,如密集的钢针般砸向地面,汹涌的海浪化作数米高的“水墙”,狠狠拍击在防波堤上,卷起十几米高的白色水雾。 在不远的台州玉环海事处的指挥大厅里,气氛紧张而有序。

六 | 工作人员全员在岗,紧盯着“海上智控平台”的巨幅屏幕,上面密布着辖区内每一艘船舶的实时动态。 “自8日上午8点启动一级防台应急响应以来,台州辖区已有625艘商船在18处水域避风,31艘应急救助拖轮已科学布防。

七 | ”台州海事局政委孔祥国介绍。

八 | 在温州乐清,上百辆警车化身“移动广播站”,深入街巷高频次播报预警信息。为严防人员冒险返船,温州海事部门利用无人机,构建起“海巡+空巡+电子巡航”的三位一体监管模式,对辖区水域进行“拉网式”排查。 在这场与台风的正面交锋中,温州、台州两地累计出动数万名党员干部、消防救援人员及志愿者,上千辆抢险车辆、数百台大型排涝设备24小时不间断在街巷、堤坝、易涝点穿梭巡查,在风暴眼中全力奋战。 8月9日在台州玉环坎门街道东沙社区拍摄的风浪。记者 黄宗治 摄 登陆之后:风雨不歇的战斗 台风“白海豚”登陆后,记者驱车一路所见,既有狂风肆虐后的残痕,更有秩序井然的清障作业。在玉环市区,持续暴雨让部分街道化作湍急河流,积水漫过小腿。行道树被连根拔起,横七竖八倒在路面。市政抢险队伍正切割移走倒伏树木,在积水路段调集大型抽水泵强排,确保排水管网畅通。

九 | 然而,随着“白海豚”中心向内陆移动,猛烈的风雨开始减弱,但防汛的弦依然紧绷。气象专家指出,“白海豚”移速偏慢,且与西南季风结合,降水持续时间长,累计雨量异常充沛。 受此极端天气影响,城市内涝问题随之凸显。

十 | 由于瞬时雨量较大,内河水位不断升高,市政管网排水不畅,台州市椒江区部分路段出现积水。椒江区市政部门紧急投入抢排作业,巡查积水点、清理雨篦和雨水排口,处置积水点35处。 事实上,不仅是城市排涝面临考验,更广泛的区域仍存在极端致灾风险。据了解,受台风“白海豚”影响,浙江中东部沿海部分地区已出现250至400毫米的特大暴雨,局地单点降雨量甚至突破600毫米,极端致灾风险依然严峻。

十一 | “台风过境不等于警报解除。

十二 | ”孔祥国说,海上防台风“启动早、结束晚”,即使风雨停歇,涌浪仍将持续数小时甚至更久。

十三 | 因此,必须严防人员提前返船,并有序组织船舶分批出港。 与此同时,内陆水库与山地的次生灾害防范同样刻不容缓。在台州朱溪水库、乐清白石水库等地,水利部门正密切监视着水位变化。浙江省防指成立的7个救援指导组,正分赴沿海和台风影响重点地区,对地质灾害点、山洪风险区进行拉网式“回头看”。 台风过境,战斗未止。 从台州玉环到温州乐清,这场惊心动魄的防台风硬仗,正是浙江全省众志成城迎战“白海豚”的生动缩影。面对跨越4700公里的风雨重压,之江大地从海岛渔村到城市社区,从海塘堤坝到地灾隐患点,党员干部与抢险救援人员彻夜坚守、向险而行,全力守护人民生命安全。
