An official with China's Ministry of Public
Security on Monday called on his country and members of the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations to strengthen cooperation in the fight against
cross-border cyber crime.
"There are new trends in cyber crime, for
example terror cells using the internet to spread extremism, recruit members,
plot attacks and conduct money laundering," said Zhong Zhong, deputy chief
of the ministry's Internet Security Bureau.
Addressing the China-ASEAN Information Harbor
Forum held in Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous
region, Zhong said more than 90% of online fraud and gambling sites that target
Chinese citizens use overseas servers and virtual private networks (VPNs).
Zhong said China-ASEAN cooperation has yielded
results. In a joint-police operation against online gambling between China,
Vietnam and Myanmar in 2014, 119 suspects were arrested and 64 million yuan
(US$10 million) was frozen, he said.
Xu Feng, an official with the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, said China and ASEAN should promote the establishment of an
international law on cyber crime.
Lu Wei, minister of the Cyberspace Administration
of China (CAC), said China was ready to work with ASEAN to crackdown on cyber
terrorism and cyber crime, protect privacy and information security and promote
the establishment of a multilateral, democratic and transparent international
internet governance system.
Hiem Phommachanh, minister of Post and
Telecommunications of Laos, agreed that China and ASEAN should improve internet
security cooperation and efforts to counter cyber crime.
Mei Jianming, a professor with the People's Public
Security University of China, lauded China and ASEAN's joint efforts to fight
crimes such as drugs and human trafficking but added that a new mechanism was
needed to address cyber crime.
