After years evading international law enforcement, Chinese-Cambodian national She Zhijiang, the purported mastermind behind the notorious KK Park fraud enclave in Myanmar, has been extradited to China. Following his 2022 arrest in Bangkok, a Thai Court of Appeal upheld a Constitutional Court ruling on November 10, approving his compulsory transfer. She was subsequently flown from Bangkok on November 12, 2025, and taken into custody by China’s Ministry of Public Security, marking a significant victory in the global fight against transnational organized crime and online scam operations.
The extradition culminates the pursuit of a figure whose criminal enterprises allegedly spanned illegal gambling, telecommunications fraud, and human trafficking across Southeast Asia. She Zhijiang, who also used the names She Lunkai and Dylan She, leveraged sophisticated financial networks and carefully cultivated political influence to build his illicit empire, centered around the sprawling, fortress-like facility in Myanmar’s Kayin State.
Rise of a Ruthless Operator
Born in Hunan in 1982, She exhibited combative tendencies from a young age, dropping out of junior secondary school after moving to Guilin, Guangxi. Acquaintances from his youth described a volatile, controlling figure who, despite being a silent underperformer, demanded loyalty and used violence to enforce compliance. After years of drifting through various low-skill jobs, the early 2010s marked his entry into high-stakes criminality.
His ascent was fueled by illegal online activities. Case files from a 2012 unapproved lottery scheme, which he allegedly ran from the Philippines targeting mainland customers, detailed a highly organized operation involving customer acquisition, financial reconciliation, and the opening of hundreds of accounts using stolen identity data. This initial venture, which grossed millions of yuan, set the template for his later, more expansive enterprises.
Investigators allege that She initially amassed an estimated 150 million yuan through illicit online gambling, an activity that remained a core pillar of his criminal network for years, drawing in hundreds of thousands of Chinese bettors.
The KK Park Nightmare
By 2017, She had secured Cambodian citizenship and embarked on a noticeable rebranding effort, accumulating honorific titles and projecting a philanthropic image. He made high-profile donations, funded community projects in his home village, and appeared in photos alongside senior Cambodian officials, temporarily obscuring his true activities.
The culmination of his operations was the Asia Pacific New City, commonly known as KK Park, located near the Myanmar-Thailand border in Myawaddy. The location offered strategic advantages: proximity to regional financial and human trafficking routes, but distance from robust Chinese law enforcement. Crucially, the enclave reportedly operated under the protection of local militias, insulating it from outside intervention.
KK Park became infamous as a major hub for large-scale telecom fraud. Survivors and victims describe a brutal, factory-like environment where hundreds of workers—often lured under false premises—were forced to participate in elaborate online scams. Those who failed to meet quotas faced severe violence, including beatings, mutilation, electric shocks, and confinement. Disturbing reports suggest women deemed attractive were forced into prostitution, further underscoring the severity of the human rights abuses within the complex.
Justice Achieved Through International Cooperation
China requested She’s provisional arrest in August 2022. Thailand’s judicial process followed, resulting in the November 2025 appellate decision that cleared the final hurdle for his extradition.
She Zhijiang’s return to China is expected to facilitate comprehensive investigations into the full scope of his criminal empire, including the financing structures, the extent of his political influence, and the systematic human trafficking and abuse perpetrated within the KK Park facility. The successful extradition serves as a potent reminder of the escalating global collaboration aimed at dismantling transnational cybercrime syndicates preying on vulnerable populations.
