Recent crackdowns on illegal scam centers in Myanmar have led to the rescue and repatriation of hundreds to thousands of foreign nationals, including many Chinese and Ethiopians. Reports indicate that tens of thousands more may still be trapped in these compounds. As Thailand intensifies its operations to rescue victims, hundreds of Chinese citizens have already returned home, with official apologies issued from China regarding previous disturbances of sovereignty. Survivors have recounted horrific experiences of torture and coercion. The ongoing crisis has drawn international attention, prompting coordinated efforts between China and Thailand to facilitate the safe return of those exploited in these scam operations.
