She Zhijiang, the mastermind behind a sprawling cross-border gambling and fraud syndicate operating in Myanmar, has been extradited to China. Known also as Tang Kriang Kai, She was escorted by Thai police to Bangkok’s airport on Wednesday afternoon, marking a significant step in international law enforcement cooperation. The extradition follows a prolonged legal battle, culminating in the Thai Court of Appeal upholding a lower court’s decision on November 10, 2025, to send She back to China to face charges related to illegal casino operations. According to Thai prosecutors, She is accused of orchestrating 239 gambling websites, which facilitated transactions totaling approximately 2.77 trillion yuan ($389.18 billion). Additionally, he is suspected of running extensive gambling and telecommunications fraud operations in Myanmar, targeting Chinese citizens through online platforms. Interpol had issued a Red Notice for She in May 2021, linking him to a criminal group that registered shell companies and developed online gambling platforms, generating around 150 million yuan in illegal profits. She was arrested by Thai authorities in August 2022, and after a series of legal proceedings, his extradition was finally approved in October 2025. This case underscores the global efforts to combat transnational organized crime and highlights the collaboration between Thailand and China in addressing such issues.
