The passports of 89 people involved in cross-border gambling and fraud were declared invalid, and the passport holders were banned from leaving China for three years, said Chinese immigration administrators on Tuesday.

周二，中国移民局表示，89名涉嫌跨境赌博和诈骗的人员的护照被宣布无效，护照持有者被禁止出境3年。

The people include criminal suspects registered for investigation by public security organs, illegal residents or employees repatriated from other countries, and those caught for illegally leaving the country from the southwest border, according to a press release published by National Immigration Administration on its website on Tuesday.

周二，国家移民管理局在其网站上发布的一份新闻稿称，这些人包括公安机关登记调查的犯罪嫌疑人、从其他国家遣返的非法居民或工作人员，以及因从西南边境非法出境而被捕的人。

They were tracked down and arrested during a recent crackdown campaign on the administration of illegal and criminal cross-border activities including gambling and telecom fraud, the press release said.

在最近的一次打击赌博和电信诈骗等非法和犯罪越界活动的行动中，他们被追踪和逮捕。

The number of Chinese citizens leaving the country has largely declined since the COVID-19 outbreak, it said. "However, there are still some people who have been deceived or enticed to engage in activities including gambling and telecom fraud in Southeast Asian countries under the name of travelling or working there," it added.

新冠肺炎疫情爆发以来，中国公民出境人数大幅下降。“然而，仍然有一些人以旅行或工作的名义在东南亚国家被欺骗或诱使从事赌博和电信欺诈等活动，”它补充说。

"[Their behaviors] have seriously infringed on the property safety of Chinese citizens; resulted in vicious crimes such as kidnapping and extortion," it said. "They have threatened China's economic security and social stability, and damaged China's national image."

“（他们的行为）严重侵犯了中国公民的财产安全;导致了绑架、勒索等恶性犯罪。” “它们威胁了中国的经济安全和社会稳定，损害了中国的国家形象。”

The administration noted that it maintains "zero tolerance" for criminals involved in cross-border gambling and fraud, warning that those who cross the legal lines will be severely punished in accordance with the law, and restricted from leaving the country.

国家旅游局指出，它对涉及跨境赌博和欺诈的犯罪分子保持“零容忍”，并警告称，那些越过法律界限的人将依法受到严厉惩罚，并限制出境。
