The Case: Who Was Extradited & Why

On November 10 2025, a Thai appeals court upheld the extradition of She Zhijiang, a Chinese national who also holds Cambodian citizenship, to China.
Chinese authorities accuse She of organising more than 200 illegal online gambling operations, building a vast cyber-fraud and money-laundering empire, and operating out of border regions including Myanmar’s Shwe Kokko.
At the same time, another major figure, Chen Zhi (also known as “Vincent”), founder of Cambodia’s Prince Holding Group, was indicted by U.S. authorities for running forced-labour scam compounds in Cambodia.
So yes — the story you asked about has evidence behind it: a senior scam-network operator tied to Cambodia and the region is being sent to China for prosecution.

How the Scam Centres Operate

  • These operations recruit workers (often from China, Southeast Asia) who are brought to compounds in Myanmar, Cambodia or Laos, and forced or coerced to run online scams (investment fraud, romance fraud, “pig-butchering” schemes).
  • They use large numbers of phones/computers, process huge volumes of calls or messages, and target foreign victims (Chinese nationals, global victims) via social-media, chat apps, fake investment platforms.
  • These centres often operate in areas with weak governance or border zones where oversight is limited — enabling networks to flourish.
  • Law-enforcement responses are growing: extraditions, sanctions, intelligence cooperation. The She Zhijiang extradition is a key example.

Why the Extradition Matters

  • It signals that regional enforcement is ramping up: countries like Thailand cooperating with China to send major suspects home.
  • It puts pressure on the border-region hubs (Myanmar/Cambodia/Laos) to crack down on scam factories or face increased international scrutiny.
  • Financial and cybercrime regulators globally are taking note: money-laundering, cross-border fraud and human-trafficking elements are now front-line issues.
  • For victims and global observers: the fact that such high-level operators can be pulled in suggests hope of accountability — though much work remains.

What to Watch Next

  • Will China pursue other senior operators (including those based in Cambodia) and will those governments cooperate?
  • Will the regional hubs for scam-centres be disrupted (compounds shut, assets frozen, victims freed)?
  • What new measures will banks, digital-payment systems and platforms take to detect and block scam-networks?
  • How will law-enforcement balance prosecution with victim support, especially for trafficked workers inside such networks?
