Police in China's coastal¹ province of Zhejiang, and Alipay on Tuesday jointly² announced plans to establish a new strategic partnership³ to prevent cyber crime.

 

本周二，浙江警方与支付宝联合宣布，计划建立一种新式战略伙伴关系以打击网络犯罪。

 

Both sides will give full play to their technical advantages to further enhance cooperation on anti-fraud early warning and education, risk assessment⁴ and industry governance.

 

New types of cyber crime are emerging as cutting-edge technologies like AI and blockchain have risen. They are more concealed⁵, unpredictable and difficult to crack down on.

 

A total of 12,500 suspects were put under criminal detention⁶ for 42,000 new types of cyber crime in 2018, according to the provincial⁷ public security department.

 

Joining forces with the police, enterprises, the media and other parties, Alipay, one of China's largest third-party mobile payment platforms, launched its Clear Sky Project early last year to curb⁸ new online crimes.
