Myanmar's military, rival ethnic militia pledge to crack down on scam centres
China has continued to put the heat on scam syndicates operating on the Thai-Myanmar border. Under pressure from Beijing, the Myanmar military government and a rival ethnic minority militia operating in the region have vowed to crack down on criminal gangs preying on foreign nationals. Chinese actor Wang Xing went missing in a high-profile case last month. He was promptly rescued from suspected traffickers and returned safely to China. Since then, Thailand has been on a blitz to restore Chinese confidence in the country as a holiday destination. Saksith Saiyasombut reports from Bangkok.
