Seventeen members of a cross-border human trafficking ring involved in abducting Chinese actor Wang Xing to Myawaddy have been indicted on charges including abducting and trafficking people, illegal detention, robbery and kidnapping, and forcing people to engage in telecom fraud, according to CCTV News on Wednesday.
The indictment was filed by the Second Branch of the People's Procuratorate of Shanghai Municipality after a review in accordance with China's laws. The suspects were prosecuted at the Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People's Court.
According to the procuratorate, the criminal group had been operating in the Myawaddy region of Myanmar. Using overseas employment opportunities as bait, the group lured Chinese citizens, including Wang, abroad and trafficked them. Victims were then forcibly transported by armed personnel to Myawaddy, where they were robbed, beaten and illegally detained. Some female victims were subjected to sexual assault and forced prostitution, while others were sold to scam compounds in Myanmar and forced to engage in telecom fraud activities.
The case involving Chinese actor Wang Xing, who was trafficked to a telecom fraud compound in Myanmar's Myawaddy region, previously attracted widespread public attention in China and Thailand.
According to a timeline compiled by CCTV News, on December 29, 2024, Wang saw a casting notice in a WeChat group seeking actors for a film project in Bangkok. He contacted a person claiming to be an assistant director through WeChat and discussed the filming opportunity.
On January 3, 2025, after arriving at Bangkok airport, Wang was picked up in a vehicle arranged by the self-proclaimed assistant director. Wang was later taken across the Thailand-Myanmar border area into a compound in Myawaddy, Myanmar. He was subsequently transferred among several telecom fraud compounds.
On the evening of January 5, social media post revealed that actor Wang had gone missing near the Thailand-Myanmar border, sparking widespread attention in both countries.
On January 6, the Chinese Consulate General in Chiang Mai said it was in close communication with Thai authorities and Wang's family, providing necessary assistance while making every effort to locate him.
On January 7, the consulate general said it had learned from Thailand's Tak Immigration Office that Wang had been found and that relevant procedures, including questioning, were underway. The same day, Thai police received a report from the deputy commander of the Border Guard Force (BGF) in Myanmar confirming that Wang had been located.
On January 8, Thai police confirmed that Wang had been deceived into traveling abroad for a casting opportunity and was taken through Thailand to a neighboring country, where he discovered he had been deceived.
Authorities clarified that he had not suffered physical injuries, dismissing online rumors that he had been injured in the leg. The Royal Thai National Police chief inspector-general told Thai media that preliminary investigations confirmed Wang was a victim of human trafficking.
Wang returned to China, landing at Shanghai Pudong International Airport three days later on January 11.
On January 17, China's Ministry of Public Security announced that it was making every effort to rescue Chinese citizens who had gone missing and become trapped along the Thailand-Myanmar border, while launching investigations into related cases.
On January 26, the ministry said a key suspect in Wang's case, the "assistant director" who had been in contact with Wang, had been apprehended and returned to China on the night of January 25.
On February 20, the Ministry of Public Security announced that 10 key suspects linked to cases involving Wang and other Chinese citizens who had been deceived into traveling abroad, detained illegally and trapped in telecom fraud compounds had been arrested by Thai police and successfully transferred back to China by Chinese police on February 15.

三 | 美国媒体报道，NVIDIA要跟AI初创公司Poolside达成一项合作协议，会以120亿美元的估值向公司投资10亿美元，同时花费60亿美元购买该公司的技术产权及部分研发人员。
四 | 这个合作模式跟NVIDIA去年底与LPU芯片公司Groq的合作相似，不是直接收购这家公司，而是重金获得技术授权及人才，公司还会继续独立运营。
五 | Poolside公司大约100多名员工将会加入NVIDIA公司，参与的则是NVIDIA自己开发与的大模型Nemotron，旨在帮助该系列大模型成为全球最强。众所周知，NVIDIA是强烈支持开源大模型的，之前也对中国的DeepSeek、Kimi等开源大模型表示赞许，该公司自己的Nemotron大模型也是开源开放的，只不过性能不算出众，达不到DS V4、Kimi K3等中国开源大模型的水平。
六 | NVIDIA作为全球最大的AI GPU供应商，而且利润丰厚，在资金及算力资源上优势独特，现在又招揽了一堆人才，Nemotron未来的性能跻身一线是很有希望的。NVIDIA自己下场开发最强的AI大模型，对OpenAI、Anthropic等VIP客户来说不是好事，但老黄这也是以彼之道还施彼身罢了。因为OpenAI、Anthropic两家公司也在大笔购买NVIDIA GPU之外的AI算力，包括谷歌及亚马逊，并且还在开发自己的AI芯片，他们不想依赖NVIDIA的芯片，NVIDIA自然也不能把大模型的希望都放在他们身上。
七 | 对NVIDIA来说，自己开发最强的开源AI还有别的好处，美国迟早要对中国的开源AI下黑手的，NVIDIA的大模型未来有机会抢这部分市场，他们是不希望DeepSeek、Qwen、Kimi、GLM等中国开源大模型成为美国公司使用的主要大模型。
