On 7 July 2022, China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate released six typical cases involving cross-border crimes.
Among the six cases, four involve illegal immigration, and two transporting illegal immigrants. These criminal activities include: luring multiple people to cross the border, walking across the border in groups to work abroad, (residents of foreign border areas) illegally entering the Chinese mainland for work, and (taxi drivers) deliberately helping criminals smuggle immigrants.
In 2021, procuratorates across the country approved the arrest of 19,998 people involved in 7,886 border crimes (up 94.5% and 116.1%, respectively, over 2020) and prosecuted 30,878 people for 10,586 cases (up 229.0% and 222.2%, respectively, over 2020).
