Chinese assistant minister to meet Karen warlord about scams and human trafficking

11 Sept 02:30 Key points summarised by AI

Chinese Assistant Minister Liu Zhongyi is holding crucial meetings in Myanmar, including with Karen Border Force leader Saw Chit Thu, to combat scam call centers and rescue human trafficking victims in border towns.
This marks Liu's third visit to Myanmar in a week, underscoring urgent regional cooperation, with upcoming discussions with Thai officials on joint measures like supply cuts to affected areas.
Recent crackdowns by the BGF in Myawaddy successfully rescued 731 individuals, mostly Chinese, with plans to repatriate over 2,000 people of various nationalities via Thailand, amidst calls for thorough screening.
The complex situation involves a potential Thai arrest warrant for Saw Chit Thu, who is now cooperating with China, and a Thai official's apology for misrepresenting the extent of human trafficking.
