Why do you always receive scam calls with a Fujian accent when it comes to the evolution path of four generations of Chinese electronic fraud summarized by GPT? Modern Chinese language electronic fraud originated in Taiwan, localized and networked in Fujian, industrialized and industrialized in Southeast Asia, and is now becoming a global transnational cybercrime industry. The first generation: Taiwan, 1990s - the technological prototype of modern telecommunications fraud. Traditional scams such as the "Golden Light Party" have existed in Taiwan for a long time, and in the 1990s, they began to be heavily digitized and remote, including impersonating institutions, winning lottery, and Mark Six lottery. The second generation: Taiwan → Fujian Minnan, around the 2000s to early 2010s. After Taiwan strengthened its crackdown, a group of Taiwanese fraud gangs moved their hideouts to the mainland, and Fujian became the earliest important landing point due to language, blood ties, geography, and cross-strait personnel connections. Around 2000, Taiwanese nationals were recruiting and opening dens in southern Fujian; Around 2003, a group of local people in Fujian learned the entire model and began to operate independently, leading to the localization of fraud. Of particular note here is Anxi. Around 2004, Anxi had become famous nationwide for its extremely serious SMS fraud, and some places gradually formed an organizational network of relatives leading relatives and fellow townsmen leading fellow townsmen. Later, not only Anxi, but also Putian and other places in Fujian became highly concentrated areas for electronic fraud criminals. Academic research even explicitly describes this diffusion mechanism that relies on geographical, kinship, and professional connections for "mentoring". At first, Taiwanese people were more like exporting "technology and business models", but Fujian later turned it into a replicable interpersonal network and industrial chain on a large scale. The third generation: Fujian/Chinese Mainland criminal network → Southeast Asia, about the 2010s, explosive growth after 2020. With the increasing crackdown on telephone fraud, bank cards, and dens by mainland public security, fraud groups have a very natural choice: >People can move out, but telephone and Internet can still cheat people in China. In the early days, the Philippines and Cambodia were relatively typical, and later gradually concentrated in Laos, Myanmar, especially in areas with weak governance capabilities, developed casino economies, or local armed control such as the Golden Triangle, Kokang, and Myawadi. Especially after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the casino and tourism industries have been severely affected, with a large number of casino facilities, hotels, and capital turning to online fraud, coupled with cryptocurrencies, social media, and dating apps, leading to the rapid industrialization of "pig killing disks". Both USIP and UNODC believe that around 2020 is a key milestone for the significant expansion of fraud zones in Southeast Asia. It has transformed from a fraudster to a transnational organized crime enterprise. Even highly corporate division of labor has emerged in areas such as HR, customer service, technology, finance, money laundering, risk control, training, and data procurement. There is also a particularly dark change: the fraudsters themselves are no longer sufficient, so they start human trafficking. A large number of Chinese, Malaysians, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Filipino, and later even African and South Asian people were lured into the park by "high paying jobs" and then forced to commit fraud. UNODC reports that over 66 nationalities have been found to have been trafficked into Southeast Asian fraud zones. Fourth generation: Southeast Asia → Globalization. The large-scale fraud industry in Southeast Asia is spreading to multiple regions around the world where governance is weak, capital flows are convenient, visas are easy, or there are already Chinese criminal networks. At present, relevant places that have appeared or been observed include the United Arab Emirates/Dubai, Türkiye, South Africa, Uganda, Peru and Pacific island countries. The research of USIP clearly mentioned that these fraud networks have begun to establish contacts or exist in the United Arab Emirates, Türkiye, South Africa, Uganda, Peru and other places. And Dubai is indeed very special. UNODC has described Dubai as one of the destinations for human trafficking and forced fraud activities, as well as an important transit point. However, the largest physical park systems currently exist mainly in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos. If we compress these thirty years into one line, it is actually: Taiwan: Invented remote fraud model ↓ Fujian: Rural marginalization, scaling up, and replication ↓ Southeast Asia: Zonization, Capitalization, and Violence ↓ Now: globalization, digitization, AI And every time it migrates, it's not just a simple move, but an 'industrial upgrade' occurs. Modern Chinese language electronic fraud originated in Taiwan, localized and networked in Fujian, industrialized and industrialized in Southeast Asia, and is now becoming a global transnational cybercrime industry.
