MANILA: China has said it hopes the Philippines will ban online gaming to support its crackdown on cross-border gambling, which it said foreign criminals had used to embezzle funds and illegally recruit workers.
The remarks were in the transcript of a news conference published on Wednesday by the Chinese embassy in Manila. An influx of Chinese into the Philippines started in 2016, coinciding with the rise of President Rodrigo Duterte, who backed the gaming regulator's move to license internet gambling. Vast sums of Chinese money were ending up in the Philippines via money laundering and underground banking, China's embassy in Manila has said, adding that citizens were being illegally drawn into an industry that fuelled social problems and crime at home.
