China and South Korea partner against cross-border gambling

Wang and Yoon talked about financial crime, drug trafficking, internet fraud, and international gambling in addition to other illegal activities. The delegate from South Korea reaffirmed their readiness to work with China on these law enforcement initiatives.
China is concerned about cross-border gambling because its nationals are breaking Chinese law when they travel overseas to bet online or visit casinos. Over the past few years, numerous Chinese government departments have stepped up their crackdowns on these kinds of operations in response. China has established bilateral agreements with other nations, particularly South Korea, for improved enforcement against these crimes because it considers these activities to be serious legal transgressions.

China is still on the lookout for ways to stop its residents from gambling, even though South Korea has a thriving legal casino market with all but one casino (Kangwon Land) open only to foreigners.
