BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) — Crimes committed by adults against minors using information and telecommunications networks are on the rise in China, calling for further strengthening of protection and law enforcement measures, according to a white paper released by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) on Monday.
In 2024, Chinese prosecutors charged 3,347 people with such crimes, up 14.1 percent year-on-year and accounting for 7.3 percent of all crimes committed by adults against minors in 2024, compared with 6.9 percent in 2023, according to data provided in the document.
As the white paper highlights, Chinese prosecutors are working closely with cyber regulators and the police to combat crimes targeting minors, such as cyberbullying and sexual harassment. Greater efforts are also being made to punish fraudsters who exploit children in their criminal schemes.
At the same time, legal protection for minors is being expanded, the White Paper says. This includes providing legal advice, influencing guardians so that they fulfill their duties, providing support to minors in civil proceedings, etc.
The White Paper calls for further improvements to the overall digital environment for younger generations. -0-
