Chinese actor Wang Xing was found near the Myanmar-Thailand border after being a victim of human trafficking. Thai police reported he was lured by a fake casting call and forced into online scam operations in Myanmar, a hub for such criminal activities.

A Chinese actor, Wang Xing, who vanished after traveling to Thailand, has been identified as a victim of human trafficking, according to Thai police. His disappearance was notable due to the criminal networks operating near the Myanmar-Thailand border.

Authorities located Wang in Myanmar on Tuesday and brought him to Thailand for questioning. Photographs depicted him with a shaved head, sitting with police in the border town of Mae Sot, a disturbing symbol of the ordeal he faced.

Wang was reportedly misled by promises of a job from a Thai entertainment company and ended up in a call scam operation in Myanmar. This area is infamous for illegal activities, and his case highlights the ongoing issue of organized crime exploiting vulnerable individuals for fraudulent schemes.
