Missing Chinese Model Yang Zeqi Rescued and Safely Returned to China

Details of the Case

Yang Zeqi, a 25-year-old Chinese model, has been safely returned to his home country after being missing for nearly a month. The Royal Thai Police confirmed his return on Saturday, with the Chinese embassy also verifying the news. Pol Gen Chatchai Pitaneelaboot, inspector-general with the Royal Thai Police Office, provided updates during a visit to Mae Sot district in Tak province.

Circumstances Surrounding Yang’s Disappearance

Lured to Thailand with False Promises

Yang was reportedly enticed to Thailand under the pretense of securing a role in a film. After arriving in Bangkok on December 20, he was transported to the Thai-Myanmar border on December 21. His last communication with family occurred on December 29 during a video call with his mother, where he appeared distressed and was not holding a phone—a situation his father believes was orchestrated by his captors.

Family’s Urgent Plea for Help

Concerned for their son’s safety, Yang’s father reached out to national police chief Kittharath Punpetch, urging for accelerated efforts to locate him. Following this plea, lawyer Ratchapon Sirisakorn facilitated communication between Yang’s family and Thai authorities, leading to confirmation of Yang’s rescue.

The Rescue Operation

Confirmation of Safe Return

After being located, Yang posted a video on social media expressing relief upon returning to China, stating, “Reporting safety right after touchdown.” Although police have not disclosed specifics about how or where he was found, there are ongoing speculations about his potential involvement with notorious scam gangs operating across the border.

Joint Efforts Between Chinese and Thai Authorities

In a statement, China’s state security ministry announced that Yang and several other victims had been rescued and returned home. Following these incidents, Chinese and Thai police collaborated to arrest 12 suspects linked to cross-border crimes involving human trafficking.

Implications for Tourism and Safety Concerns

Addressing Public Safety Issues

The case has raised significant concerns regarding the safety of tourists in Thailand, particularly for Chinese nationals. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra emphasized the importance of maintaining Thailand’s reputation as a safe travel destination while assuring that measures would be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Ongoing Crackdown on Cross-Border Crimes

In light of these events, authorities have vowed to intensify their crackdown on cross-border telecom fraud and human trafficking. The government aims to reassure both local and international communities that steps are being taken to enhance safety and security for all visitors.

A Cautious Return to Normalcy

Yang Zeqi’s Safe Return as a Positive Development

The safe return of Yang Zeqi marks a significant relief for his family and highlights the collaborative efforts of Thai and Chinese authorities in addressing cross-border crime. As investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, there is hope that enhanced security measures will restore confidence among tourists visiting Thailand.
