Yangon: China has repatriated more than 900 citizens it suspects of working in internet scam centres in Myanmar's borderlands, a Beijing ministry said.
Myanmar's many-sided civil war -- sparked by a 2021 coup -- has enabled the rapid growth of lucrative internet fraud factories established in its loosely governed borderlands.
Many people have said they were trafficked into often heavily fortified scam compounds to target victims with romance or business scams on social media, luring them into making untraceable cryptocurrency payments.
Analysts say some are willing participants in the industry worth billions of dollars annually.
Thousands have been repatriated in recent months after a pressure campaign from neighbouring China.
