More than 28 million yuan (4.2 million U.S. dollars) was confiscated or frozen in cases involving overseas gambling websites, according to the MPS.
4月以来，公安部门加强了对涉嫌网络赌博行为的调查力度。

公安部表示，近年来，国际赌博公司利用境外赌博网站发展中国代理人、吸引赌客，打击跨境网络赌博活动已成为警方的常规任务。
According to the MPS, cracking down on cross-border web gambling has become a regular task for the police as international gambling companies have used overseas gambling websites to develop Chinese agents and attract gamblers in recent years.
