Beijing Youth Daily:

We have noted that the MPS has launched summer crackdown campaigns to maintain law and order for three consecutive years. What are the arrangements for this year's summer campaign? What is the progress so far? Thank you.

Qi Yanjun:

I will answer these questions. In June 2022, taking regular patterns and characteristics of cases often found in summer into consideration, the MPS Party Committee deployed all public security organs across the country to carry out a "100-day campaign" to crack down on illegal and criminal activities while maintaining law and order. This campaign successfully safeguarded social security and stability during the summer, winning public appreciation and becoming a highlight of the public security organs' contribution to maintaining social stability and serving the people. As the reporter just mentioned, this is the third year for us to carry out the "summer campaign." Our aim is to safeguard the people's safety through efforts in maintaining law and order during the summer, so as to ensure high-quality development with a high level of security.

Since the start of this year's "summer campaign," all public security organs nationwide have comprehensively implemented combat, prevention, management, control and construction measures based on the integrated mechanism of "intelligence-command-action." So far, we have launched two rounds of centralized and unified inspections and publicizing activities during summer nights, addressing 491 cross-regional cases with long criminal chains and huge impacts, such as those involving pornography, gambling, drugs, food, medicine, the environment, telecom and online fraud as well as cybercrime. Through these efforts, the "summer campaign" has made clear progress, with many prominent criminal behaviors cracked down on in accordance with the law, emergency cases and accidents appropriately handled as well as risks and hidden dangers effectively eliminated. During the campaign, reported crimes and public security offenses received by the 110 hotline fell by 18.1% and 10.9%, respectively. During this year's "summer campaign," the MPS has used information technology to directly extract all data, easing the burden at the primary level and ensuring objectivity and truthfulness. 

Next, the MPS will direct local public security organs to work according to their own summertime social security conditions, take stronger and more effective measures to crack down hard on all kinds of prominent illegal and criminal behaviors as well as make every effort to safeguard the people's safety and overall social stability. Continuous efforts will be made to make sure the "summer campaign" meets set targets and delivers concrete results. Thank you.
