On September 12, 2026, a Phoenix reporter conducted a second on-site visit to the Osman telecom fraud park located in China. The park was originally a casino hotel, later converted into a telecom fraud center during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reporter noted that the interior of the park is divided into multiple target zones, scamming victims from many countries and regions worldwide, and the fraudsters' working hours are flexibly adjusted according to different target zones. This report reveals the formation process and operational model of the fraud park.
Yin Jiangen, a self-media person from Zhuzhou, was arrested across provinces in August 2025 for posting criticisms of officials, including Liu Ying, the Party Secretary of Liyang Town, Hexian County, Anhui Province. On August 6, 2026, the Hexian Court sentenced him to two years and three months in prison in the first instance for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Yin Jiangen disagreed and filed an appeal.
