Thailand’s authorities are under increasing public pressure to take action against the shady workplaces, where workers are drawn in from all over the world and frequently treated viciously.
China, also, has become extremely concerned, particularly following the violence and cross-border recovery from Myanmar of Chinese professional Wang Xing.
On Tuesday, Chinese-state media reported that officials from China, Myanmar, Thailand reached consensus on eradicating telecommunication fraud facilities in Myanmar during a conference in the Chinese city of Kunming.
A Thai defense group and the Myanmar junta’s second-in-command Soe Win met this week in Naypyidaw to discuss a assault on human smuggling and virtual schemes, according to Myanmar state media.
The state-run Global New Light of Myanmar paper said this week that junta officials had sent up over 55, 000 foreign immigrants, including more than 53, 000 Chinese, from con materials to their home nations between October 2023 and January 2025.
Additionally, the report suggested that Myanmar’s neighboring nations supported con functions, a state that Thai Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai rejected on Thursday.
” This problem is not just about Thailand”, said Phumtham,” It is something where Myanmar and China also have to support”.
