China is very affected and has been tightening the screws hard. The situation really blew up when a Chinese actor was lured to Thailand, kidnapped across the border and forced to work in a scam center:
But the scammer choose lawless places like Myanmar for a reason and while China can exert pressure on individual bigwigs, they can't stop those small enough to fly under the radar.
China has the same culture- and the same scamming problematic. Its like a bigger mafiosi promising to solve crime and restore order by sending a lowlevel thief to the fishes.
Low-thrust societies can not be repaired by topdown level commands. All that happens, is yet another paint job, another face restoring measurement, while the rot behind remains the same.This is not some "aberration" from the fringe of the Chinese empire- this right here, is a sample of its core values under the CCP, undiluted by propaganda cosmetics.
I think you are being a bit too politically correct.
The values are not tied to a political party. They are tied to the people themselves and these values are not found only in China, but even more so in Vietnam and India.
