The Chinese government has executed 11 members of the Ming family crime syndicate. This comes after investigations into the criminal empire revealed “intentional homicide, intentional wounding, unlawful detention, fraud and casino operation”, as well as other sanctions.
In the announcementwhich was translated, the Supreme People’s Court confirmed that the group, led by Ming Guoping and Ming Zhenzhen, working alongside the “telecommunications fraud syndicate” led by other members, had conspired or committed various crimes.
These crimes are described as being “exceptionally heinous” in nature, and were punished “severely”. It was determined that this was an execution that Ming Guoping, Ming Zhenzhen, Zhou Weichang, Wu Hongming, Wu Senlong, Fu Yubin, among others, will be or have already been subjected to.
The press release provides few details about gambling operations linked to the Ming family crime syndicate. Although illegal gambling is listed as a crime, the announcement primarily focuses on violent crimes and large-scale telecommunications fraud.

Separately from this case, Chinese authorities have extradited several people accused of operating overseas gambling networks in recent years, including She Zhijiangwho returned from Thailand, and Chen Zhiwhich was based in Cambodia. These extraditions were part of broader law enforcement efforts against cross-border gambling and scam operations, rather than specific details addressed in the Ming family verdict.
However, they operated casinos as part of their criminal operations outside Myanmar. Scams have become the priority of the Ming family; she started in the region through gambling and prostitution.
As things began to escalate, the union began moving into other, more illegal areas.
Using the anarchy of the region as it goes through a civil war, she managed to profit massively and turn Laukkaing into a casino town.
They operated the Crouching Tiger Villa, which was part of the unfortunate incident in 2023, in which Chinese citizens present at the compound were shot and killed while trying to escape. The location was used in forced labor in Ming affairs.
With the Myanmar region now under the control of local militias, they began cracking down on local crime families.
