A Chinese associate minister of public security is currently in Thailand looking for assistance in halting their activities. There are 36 big Chinese call-scam gangs that employ more than 100 000 callers to mislead their victims of money.
Pol Lt Gen Trairong Phiwpan, the director of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, and Liu Zhongyi discussed the details with Liu Zhongyi during their meeting on Monday at the CCIB in Nonthaburi territory.
Mr. Liu is the head of the Chinese group that came to Myanmar to seek assistance from Thai authorities in resolving the issue of Chinese fraud gangs operating in the Myawaddy region, which borders Thailand’s Tak province.
Some Chinese nationals have been deceived by these criminals into entering Myanmar by entering their homes and working in their scheming farms, frequently in brutal conditions.

Mr. Liu even brought up Wang Xing, a Chinese actor who was tricked into traveling to Myanmar to perform a false casting interview, for a reason. Alternatively, a scam gang detained him.
Several people from visiting Thailand because of concerns for their health, according to Mr. Liu, and as a result, the event of Wang Xing had slowed down visitor numbers.
His group demanded that the CCIB apprehend the heads of these scam gangs who lived in Thailand, as well as apprehend about 20 Wang Xing suspects, and give them extradition to China.
The Chinese assistant secretary demanded assistance from the CCIB in locating the Taiwanese victims who are still being held in Myanmar and putting pressure on them to get them released quickly.
He demanded that Thai officials block the channels that con gangs use to conduct their operations and get funding.
His committee also suggested that Thai and Chinese regulators set up a cooperation center to work together on call-scam prevention.

The two factors were in partnership, the CCIB said.  ,
