Thai police stated that the Chinese actor Wang Xing (Xingxing), suspected of being 'sold like a piglet' to Myanmar, was handed over to Thailand from Myanmar at 3-4 PM local time on the 7th. He is currently under control at the Mae Sot Police Station in Thailand, and he is safe and in normal condition. Currently, Wang Xing cannot be visited or leave, as he still needs to undergo an assessment.
On the 8th, Thai media quoted the Royal Thai Police as saying that preliminary investigations found Wang Xing to be a victim of human trafficking. Once he and his family are ready, coordination with the Chinese Embassy will take place, and he is expected to return to China within one to two days.
Police officials stated that Wang Xing was indeed shaved bald while in Myanmar. The details of the entire case are still being organized, including how he was deceived and how he sought help. These will be released to the public only after confirmation. According to information disclosed by Thai police on social media, initial understandings reveal that upon arriving at the Mae Sot border, someone transported him across the border by boat.
Wang Xing stated that he only realized he was deceived after being taken across the border, but he dared not resist.
Wang Xing has entered the Thai national referral mechanism. If confirmed as a human trafficking victim, he will enter the protection program, with arrangements made through the Thai Immigration Bureau to send him back home and contact his family for reception. If any criminal acts are involved, they will be processed in accordance with legal procedures. According to the principles of this mechanism, it was found that Wang Xing was deceived into neighboring countries for casting jobs, after which he had to find another way out.
Thai police further stated that he is currently in good spirits and eager to return home, but he plans to travel to Thailand again in the future. Wang Xing's legal team has spoken with the police, and the lawyer stated that he is now safe, well-cared for by local staff, and preparing to return to China. However, other details are not convenient to disclose and relevant rights will be reserved.
