On November 13, 2025, She Zhijiang, a key suspect in a massive cross-border gambling and telecommunications fraud network, was extradited from Thailand to China, marking a milestone in international law enforcement collaboration.
The Ministry of Public Security of China confirmed that the protracted process involved appeals in Thai courts, but the Court of Appeal of Thailand ultimately approved the transfer, underscoring strong bilateral cooperation under the existing law enforcement framework.
Investigations show that since 2013, She established Asia-Pacific International Holdings Group overseas and, by September 2017, set up a fraud factory in Myawaddy, Kayin State, Myanmar. His network launched over 200 online gambling platforms, enticing more than 330,000 participants across the Chinese mainland and handling illicit funds exceeding 2.7 billion yuan (US $370 million).
The Ministry’s spokesperson said: “The successful extradition of She Zhijiang demonstrates our firm resolve to punish cross-border gambling and telecom fraud in accordance with the law and protect people’s rights and property. It also highlights the depth of our judicial cooperation with Thailand.”
Looking ahead, Chinese authorities plan to advance the Global Security Initiative by promoting an International Alliance Against Telecommunications Fraud, boosting information sharing and joint operations to safeguard public security and social stability worldwide.
