Chinese media released a documentary on National Day about the crackdown on call center gangs in Myanmar. Thailand arrested "Se Zhujiang," the kingpin of "Chwe Kokko-Myawaddy," and extradited him to China for punishment, reinforcing that Thailand is not a refuge for transnational criminals.
Reports indicate that in early October 2026, Chinese television aired the documentary "The End of the Scammer Network in Northern Myanmar," revealing exclusive footage of officials arresting the leader of a major transnational crime gang, Se Zhujiang, at a Japanese restaurant in Bangkok airport in August 2022. At that time, Se claimed he had connections and money to resolve any issue.
This documentary covers a major operation by Chinese police targeting transnational crime linked to China in Myanmar's northern border region. It also reveals the crackdown on the "Four Major Families" crime syndicates and online gambling and call center scam networks in Myawaddy, Myanmar.
Chinese authorities state that Se Zhujiang played a key role in building an online gambling empire and telecom fraud or call center scam gangs in Myawaddy. He also used aliases in conducting business.
Se Zhujiang, from Hunan Province, co-founded online gambling platforms in China. Later, he fled Chinese police pursuit to the Philippines and expanded an online gambling network of over 200 websites to lure Chinese nationals into gambling.
As a major fugitive and mastermind behind the Chwe Kokko scammers, he was highly sought by Chinese authorities. In November 2025, Thai police extradited Se Zhujiang, accused as the largest transnational scammer in the region, back to China through diplomatic channels to face criminal charges after completing all Thai legal procedures.
This extradition marks a significant legal cooperation between Thailand and China and sends a clear message that "Thailand is not a refuge for transnational criminals" under Thai police's cybercrime crackdown policy.
