China has achieved significant results
in its national crackdown on gang crimes, with more than 3,600
mafia-like groups busted over the past three years, 1.3 times as many as
the total of the previous 10 years. Another
89,742 cases involving gang crime-related corruption and "protective
umbrella" that shelter gangs were also handled nationwide, according to
official statistics. In the past
three years, Chinese courts have concluded 32,943 gang-related cases of
first instance, involving more than 220,000 suspects, and a total of
53,405 defendants in related cases were given sentences from at least
five years in prison to the death penalty. Ever
since China's launch of its targeted campaign against gang crimes in
2018, the country has endeavored to fight gang crimes through a series
of actions, including but not limited to making legal policies and
setting up a tip-off platform. According
to a poll conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics in the first
half of 2020, 95.1 percent of the Chinese people are satisfied with the
results of the country's special campaign.
