Human Trafficking Scam Rings Targeting Chinese Nationals in Southeast Asia

Actors and models lured by fake job offers are being trafficked to Myanmar and forced into online scam operations.

Chinese nationals, including actor Wang Xing and model Yang Zeqi, have been trafficked to Myanmar after being deceived by fake job offers in Thailand.
Victims are forced into cyber scam centers in Myanmar's border regions, where they endure harsh conditions and are coerced into illegal activities.
Thai police recently rescued Wang Xing, who described being held with dozens of others, all subjected to forced labor in scam operations.
Thousands of victims from various countries remain trapped in scam compounds linked to organized crime and armed groups in Myanmar.
The incidents have raised safety concerns for Chinese tourists and prompted warnings about job offers in Southeast Asia that do not require work visas.
