The Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission was recently interviewed by reporters about deepening the special campaign against organized crime and gangrelated wrongdoing, introducing the background, key tasks, and work requirements for the relevant actions launched nationwide by the Party Central Committee starting this July.

This special campaign will focus on cracking down on crimes committed through online platforms, such as illegal lending, illegal debt collection, malicious claims, publicopinion extortion, and extortion through nude chatting, as well as traditional gang and underworld forces such as local bullies, township bullies, sand bullies, and mine bullies. It also emphasizes handling cases in accordance with the law, thoroughly rooting out the "protective umbrella," ensuring smooth reporting channels such as 12337, and promoting the integration of industry governance and grassroots governance to form a longterm prevention and control mechanism.
