In the end, it's a transnational crime...People disappearing in Thailand in an instant [This is the news]

Since Chinese actor Wang Xing was kidnapped in Thailand and rescued from Myanmar, similar cases of damage have continued to grow.

The case is not just a celebrity disappearance, it is a transnational crime involving multiple countries and online fraudulent organizations, so it is taken more seriously.

The seriousness of human trafficking, kidnapping, and online crimes committed by organizations in Myanmar is being highlighted again, but the background is complex and the solution is not simple.

Even before Wang Xing's disappearance, many Chinese people who disappeared from Thailand were found in Myanmar, and according to the Bangkok Post, three Chinese college students were kidnapped from Bangkok to Myanmar in October last year and released for 500,000 baht (about 21 million won).

Since the Wang Xing incident, there have been a series of reports of missing family members, including reports that Chinese model Yang Ziqi has lost contact at the Thailand-Myanmar border.

Myanmar's Miyawadi, where Wang Xing was taken, is notorious for being a base for Chinese criminal organizations that often engage in voice phishing and online fraud, which detain or abduct workers who have been lured or kidnapped by job advertisements and mobilize them for fraudulent crimes.

Thousands of people from countries around the world, including China, Thailand, Kenya, Morocco, and Bangladesh, have been caught, tortured and abused, and even lost their lives.

The rampant criminal gangs in Myanmar are also deeply linked to the local situation, which has effectively left Myanmar in a security vacuum as civil war continues after the 2021 coup.

In particular, fraudulent organizations have flocked to border areas where the junta has lost control, the scale of online crimes has grown sharply, and border-area criminal organizations have become a source of conflict between the Chinese and Myanmar military governments.
