Mae Sot: More than 200 Chinese members of the second lot of the call center gang were sent back to China. Myanmar authorities sent the last batch of more than 200 Chinese call center gang members back to China at Mae Sot Airport. At 1:00 p.m. this afternoon, security officers from Myawaddy Province, Myanmar, along with the Border Guard Force (BGF) brought 214 Chinese nationals, who were part of the second group of call center gangs, out of the central detention area in Myawaddy Township to the second permanent Myawaddy border checkpoint. Then, security officers from Myawaddy Province handed over all the Chinese nationals to the Immigration Police of Tak Province, who took them on two buses to cross the second Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge. When the convoy of buses carrying the Chinese nationals arrived, military officers took them to Thailand’s immigration office. Every step of the process was carried out in detail, with military officers accompanying the Chinese nationals throughout the entire process.
According to Thai News Agency, before the second round of the final transfer of the 214 Chinese nationals to Mae Sot International Airport, a Chinese government plane will take them back to China for further processing. For the transportation of Chinese call center gang members back to China, the first round began on February 20-22, 2025, with a total of 621 people. The second round began on March 6-9, 2025, with a total of 1,439 people. There are still many Chinese people waiting to be sent back to their country, a total of 810 people. The Chinese government will send a plane to pick them up in the third round between March 13-14.
It was also reported that on March 10-11, the Indian government will arrange for a C-17 military aircraft to pick up another 540 Indians from the Myawaddy call center gang at Mae Sot International Airport on two flights. The immigration offices of both countries will record the identities of the individuals and blacklist them from entering Thailand, similar to the Chinese who were previously sent away and foreigners from 29 other countries, most of which are in Africa. Most recently, they are coordinating with the authorities of those countries to urgently bring their citizens back to their country.
