China Executes 4 in Myanmar Scam Crackdown

China has executed four people who were part of a group based in Myanmar.

This group was running big scam and gambling operations that hurt many people, including six Chinese citizens who died.

The group also did other bad things like kidnapping, forcing people into prostitution, and selling drugs.

The Chinese court said their crimes were very bad and a big threat to society.

This is part of a bigger effort by China to stop these kinds of crimes in countries like Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos.

The group had scam parks where they tricked people from all over the world, including many Chinese citizens.

The court had already sentenced five people to death earlier, but one of them died before being executed.

The other executions were announced last week.
