Summary
On February 27, 2025, China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) announced the repatriation of 40 Chinese nationals from Thailand, who had been involved in illegal immigration. This coordinated operation was part of ongoing efforts by both China and Thailand to combat cross-border crime and protect the legitimate rights of Chinese citizens.

The individuals had been deceived by criminal organizations into illegally crossing borders and were stranded in Thailand. Their families had repeatedly sought government assistance for their return. Throughout the process, their legal rights were fully protected, and they will receive support for reintegration into society once legal procedures are completed.

This repatriation reflects the growing cooperation between China and Thailand in tackling transnational crimes, such as telecommunications and internet fraud. Both countries have committed to strengthening law enforcement cooperation to safeguard citizens' rights and ensure regional stability.

Additionally, China’s National Immigration Administration reaffirmed its strong opposition to illegal immigration and vowed to continue cracking down on cross-border crime, holding those responsible for organizing illegal immigration accountable, while enhancing cooperation with other countries’ authorities.
