Show Notes

USIP formed a study group to explore the dimensions and nature of Southeast Asia’s China-originating criminal networks and the scourge of online scamming they are now spreading globally. On July 1, USIP hosted a conversation that built on the study group’s final report on transnational crime in Southeast Asia by looking at on-the-ground conditions in Cambodia and Vietnam, as well as the experiences of diaspora civil society. The discussion delved into the alarming rise of criminal cyber scam centers that exploit forced labor, human trafficking and online "pig butchering" techniques to defraud victims of billions of dollars.
