China sees 30% drop in criminal cases from January to July 2024
BEIJING -- China saw the number of registered criminal cases fall by 30.1 percent year-on-year in the first seven months of 2024, marking a 14-month consecutive decline, official figures showed on Tuesday.
This decline follows China's increased efforts to ensure long-term social stability, which already led to a 4.8 percent decrease in criminal cases filed in 2023 compared to the previous year, said Qi Yanjun, vice-minister of public security, at a press conference.
Telecom fraud cases dropped by 23.8 percent during the first seven months of 2024, continuing an 11-month year-on-year downward trend.
With people's sense of security continuously rising, China's public safety index for 2023 stood at 98.2 percent, maintaining a level above 98 percent for the fourth consecutive year, Qi added.
