Trafficking of Chinese nationals to scam centers abroad

Since the 2010s, Chinese nationals have been lured abroad under false pretenses, often with promises of high-paying jobs, only to be forced into participating in fraudulent activities, particularly online scams. These victims are usually moved to locations in Southeast Asia, such as Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos, where they are forced to work in scam centers, which involve deceiving others through techniques like investment fraud, romance scams, or telephone fraud.
