The draft law on anti-telecommunication network fraud is being submitted to the 31st meeting of the 13th National People's Congress for deliberation.

During group deliberations, many participants suggested that the penalties for illegal activities of telecommunications network fraud should be further increased, and the fines should be increased at the same time.

"The penalties for relevant units and responsible persons in the current draft generally start at 10,000 yuan (RMB, the same below), and the individual clauses are 5,000 yuan, which feels too low and is not conducive to the deterrent effect of the law and is not conducive to anti-telecommunications. The formation of a comprehensive management situation for online fraud."

  "We must increase penalties and increase the amount of fines. The amount of fines should start at 100,000 yuan." He said.

  Telecommunications network fraud is a new problem, and some problems have not yet been fully exposed.

Ji Bingxuan, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that this is a process of constant struggle in which "the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high" and "the magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high".
