According to media reports, Kenya recently repatriated 77 suspected telecommunication fraud offenders to mainland China, including 32 mainland suspects and 45 Taiwan suspects. This is the first time that China has returned telecommunication fraud suspects from Africa on a large scale.

     The incident aroused strong protests from Taiwan's leaders, with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen tweeting to demand that "the mainland police release the people," and Ma Ying-jeou stating at a meeting that "the land side forcibly took away our nationals without prior notification to us, which is a violation of procedural justice." This sparked widespread concern on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and even in the international community. The mainland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Public Security, and State Council Taiwan Affairs Office have also responded, stating that the repatriation of Taiwan's telecommunication fraud suspects to the mainland is "reasonable and justifiable" from the political, diplomatic, and legal perspectives.
Why did the mainland police insist on bringing the suspects back to the mainland for scrutiny despite the strong protests from Taiwan's top brass? According to An Bishan, spokesman for the mainland's State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, first of all, the victims are all mainlanders, many of whom are elderly people, teachers, students, migrant workers, laid-off workers, who have worked hard all their lives and have been cheated out of all their life savings, resulting in a miserable situation and a lack of means of subsistence. In December 2015, Taiwan's telecom fraud group swindled a shantytown renovation money as well as the wages of migrant workers amounted to more than 100 million yuan, which is the largest amount of money swindled on the mainland so far. Secondly, because the suspects set up their crime dens in faraway Africa, it is difficult for the police to investigate and arrest them, resulting in the suspects being at large, the crime is getting worse, and the mainland people have suffered heavy losses. Furthermore, Taiwan's lax treatment of telecommunications fraud legislation and lenient penalties are tantamount to practically condoning the crime, resulting in the continuation of the crime.
Although in April 2009, both sides of the Taiwan Strait signed the "Cross-Strait Agreement on Jointly Combating Crime and Mutual Legal Assistance", however, due to the lighter penalties for telecommunication fraud crimes under Taiwan law, there are large differences in the standards for the determination of evidence and the mainland, resulting in many suspects or unable to be convicted, or the misdemeanor is leniently sentenced, the sentence is less than 10%.
As a result of the Taiwan side's ineffective crackdown and the difficulty in recovering stolen funds, the swindlers' arrogance and desire to commit crimes have been fueled. Statistics show that each year about more than RMB 10 billion of the proceeds of telecommunication fraud crimes are rolled over by fraudsters from the mainland to Taiwan, and although the mainland public security authorities have taken various measures to recover the proceeds, so far only RMB 207,000 has been recovered from Taiwan.
Therefore, the mainland police's determination to repatriate the fraud suspects to the mainland for trial is a normal judicial act in line with public opinion and the law. The Taiwan authorities' politicization of a normal judicial act by stating that "the Beijing authorities have no right to deal with repatriation matters involving the people of Taiwan on behalf of us" is an unreasonable and brash statement, which can be completely ignored by the mainland side. For this reason, the mainland side can completely ignore it. The police should, in the light of the facts of the crime committed by the suspects and the serious harm caused to the victims, severely punish them for this criminal act in strict accordance with national laws, so as to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the victims.

Taiwan's telecommunication fraud criminals generally locate their criminal dens in the distant African continent, and each group has a clear division of labor, each with its own responsibilities. The means of crime are highly specialized and form a trend of syndication, and their deceptions are interlocked, often leaving people defenseless.

      In order to convince the victims, the fraud gangs also play pre-recorded background sounds during the phone calls, such as hospitals, public security bureaus and other scenes; they also use number-change software, which can display the incoming calls as those of any public security authorities on the mainland.
