TAK: On Thursday morning, the first class of 50 Chinese people who had left Myanmar-based con centers arrived in Mae Sot from Myawaddy. They will be one of 200 of their fellow citizens who will also travel to China on the same day.
Around 9am, men from the Karen Border Guard Force delivered the Taiwanese team over the Moei River over the Next Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge. They arrived on a vehicle accompanied by officers cars.
After being taken into custody by one man at Mae Sot Border Checkpoint 2, each Taiwanese national was finally taken back to the Chinese government for the first repatriation trip sponsored by the Chinese government leaving Mae Sot aircraft.
Investigators were not allowed in the border station. Resources said there would be four Chinese relocation flights, each of which would take 50 individuals, on Thursday.
After the government of China and Thailand’s expulsion of strength, oil, and online services in the areas early this month, thousands of people are expected to be removed from the Myawaddy-based scam centers.
According to reports, the Chinese government used China Southern Airlines flights to take 600 of its citizens from Mae Sot on 16 airlines between Thursday and Saturday. Following this, foreigners of other countries are anticipated to be repatriated.
Many of the call-center locations are run by Taiwanese legal groups, who frequently claim they were forced to work on internet scams that have swindled people all over the world.
The Karen Border Guard Force, a militia affiliated with the Myanmar junta, has stated that it is preparing to arrest as many as 10, 000 people from the regions it controls along the Thai borders.
Returnees are expected to be accompanied by Taiwanese security staff on the aircrafts, and it is unknown what will happen to them once more in China. How many of the victims of prostitution and the eager participants in the con artists are unknown.
Liu Zhongyi, China’s associate minister for public security, has made several trips to Thailand in the wake of this report, coordinating the removal of the country’s shady smuggling centers with Thai and Myanmar specialists, and overseeing the relocation of Chinese residents.
