In a statement Friday, Oct. 31, acting PNP Chief Police Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said the Chinese Desk, will serve as a vital mechanism to boost coordination in the country's fight against transnational crimes.

Nartatez said the Chinese Desk seeks to enhance inter-agency cooperation and improve law enforcement responses to crimes that transcend borders such as kidnapping, scamming, and other illegal activities linked to organized crime groups while protecting the rights and safety of all communities in the Philippines.

“Through this desk, we can respond swiftly and effectively to incidents involving Chinese nationals while maintaining full respect for our laws and due process,” he said.
