🇨🇳Chinese Language Money Laundering Networks Emerge as Major Facilitators of the Illicit Crypto Economy, Now Driving 20% of Laundering Activity

Chinese-language money laundering networks (CMLNs) have increased their share of known illicit laundering activity to approximately 20% in 2025. This regional connection is further evidenced by the off-ramping patterns we observe. To take one example, as we highlighted in the scams chapter of this report, CLMNs have grown to now consistently launder over 10% of funds stolen in pig butchering scams, coinciding with a steady decline in the use of centralized exchanges, potentially because exchanges can freeze funds.

Compared to other laundering endpoints, since 2020, inflows to identified CMLNs grew 7,325 times faster than those to centralized exchanges, 1,810 times faster than those to decentralized finance (DeFi), and 2,190 times faster than intra-illicit on-chain flows. While CMLNs are by no means the only facilitator of on-chain laundering, Chinese-language Telegram-based services now account for a disproportionate share of the attributed global on-chain money laundering landscape. In doing so, they process funds from a wide range of on- and off-chain criminal activity.

🇨🇳⚓️🇺🇸 The Economist: “China plans…six new aircraft-carriers before 2035. That…would see China building aircraft-carriers at more than twice the clip of America…America also plans to retire three…By 2035 America will have 11 such vessels to China’s nine.”

“A bigger question is why China wants so many carriers. In debates about the future of America’s carrier fleet, some Western analysts say…anti-ship missiles and drone warfare…have made them obsolete. But China appears to be ignoring such talk.”

“In a fight with America over Taiwan, carriers might be less useful. After all, Taiwan is well within range of airbases on the Chinese mainland. China’s carrier plans, then, point to much broader ambitions.”

“Aircraft-carriers would be particularly valuable in protecting shipping bound for China, and stanching the maritime trade of adversaries in the event of war. ‘These are power-projection platforms for achieving sea control,’
