In early 2025, the incident where Chinese actor Wang Xing was deceived into Myanmar's telecom fraud park and eventually rescued attracted countless attention, making the sinister names of Myanmar's telecom fraud park, Myawaddy, and KK Park well-known.
As the crackdown deepened, another fact emerged: the masterminds behind these telecom fraud parks were mostly Chinese! Among them, the most well-known is a Chinese boss named She Zhijiang.
Upon hearing this name, netizens who followed the Guo Huaping hearing exclaimed: Could this She Zhijiang be the same She Zhijiang who accused Guo Huaping of being a spy?
Congratulations, you are right, it is him.
An interview video linked She Zhijiang and Guo Huaping together
According to the "Philippine Star" report, on September 27, 2024, during Guo Huaping's hearing, the House of Representatives played an interview video of a prisoner detained in a Thai prison, in which the person claimed to have collaborated with Guo Huaping, also stating that Guo was Chinese, and had provided a document with Guo Huaping's information to Al Jazeera, hinting at Guo's suspicious identity.
The person interviewed was the notorious telecom fraud tycoon She Zhijiang.
After watching She Zhijiang's video, Guo Huaping became instantly emotional, repeatedly denying knowing She, and stated that She was making such absurd claims just to gain attention.
Regardless of She's intentions, he indeed caused significant trouble for Guo Huaping at the time. But this makes people more curious: if, as Guo Huaping said, She Zhijiang was spouting nonsense, then why did he drag Guo down with him?
This starts with the story of She Zhijiang's rise to wealth.
From a poor boy in Hunan to a telecom fraud tycoon, a meteoric rise
Many Chinese in the Philippines are familiar with She Zhijiang, who made his "first bucket of gold" there before moving on to the super telecom fraud gray industry in Myanmar.
She Zhijiang, also known as She Lun Kai, was born in Hunan in 1982. In 2012, introduced by someone, She brought 40,000 RMB to the Philippines to make his fortune, amassing a huge fortune within two years.
She Zhijiang's path to wealth was clearly not very honorable—In 2014, the Yantai Economic Development Zone Court in Shandong ruled: She Zhijiang was operating an online lottery business illegally in the Philippines, with most users coming from China, profiting up to 298 million USD!
Under the actions of Chinese police, She's criminal dens in China were destroyed, and his employees were arrested, while he himself escaped overseas, becoming a fugitive wanted by Chinese police.
She Zhijiang did not restrain himself but instead continued to soar in the path of online gambling and telecom fraud.
Starting in 2015, She expanded his gambling business to Myanmar and Cambodia. To avoid detection, he even changed his name to She Lun Kai, transforming from a telecom fraudster to a charitable businessman.
Creating the "hell on earth" in Myawaddy
With a new identity and a positive title, She Zhijiang began to expand his telecom fraud empire. In 2017, he announced with great fanfare that he would invest 15 billion USD to build a "smart city" in Myawaddy, Myanmar, covering 180,000 acres, named "Asia-Pacific New City Economic Special Zone," integrating "financial technology, tourism and vacation, and trade logistics."
However, this Asia-Pacific New City was actually the precursor to the world's largest telecom fraud park "KK Park"—"financial technology" and "smart city" were just covers, She Zhijiang was actually building a telecom fraud park.
"KK Park" took over teams and companies involved in online gambling, telecom fraud, and "pig butchering" scams from the Philippines, Cambodia, and other countries, and became a "hell on earth" feared by all due to its brutal methods.
"This place is a den of evil, where human lives are worthless. Those who disobey are at best beaten up, at worst tortured repeatedly. They work under high intensity, with militarized management, imprisoned behind high walls and electric fences..." recalled someone who had luckily escaped from "KK Park." What's more horrifying is that victims "without any use" would have their organs forcibly harvested, and their bodies thrown into the open sea.
Despite his numerous evil deeds, She Zhijiang was not affected until 2020 when he "crashed"—
In 2020, Asia-Pacific New City was investigated by the Myanmar government due to multiple complaints of telecom fraud and illegal abuse, and they began investigating the boss behind it, She Zhijiang; in 2021, Interpol issued a red notice for She Zhijiang, with charges of illegally operating a casino; in 2022, She Zhijiang was arrested by Thai police in Thailand.
Due to the huge amount of fraud and the severe impact, She Zhijiang was sentenced by the Thai authorities to 11 years of imprisonment. There were reports that She Zhijiang might face extradition to China, but he refused to be extradited.
To avoid extradition, he used every means possible
Sources indicate that after his arrest, all of She Zhijiang's actions, including dragging Guo Huaping into the water, had only one purpose—to avoid extradition to China.
Actually, this is a trick many fugitives have overused: assigning themselves a sensitive identity, seeking political asylum in the West, thus escaping legal sanctions from China.
Therefore, when seeing Guo Huaping, who also developed in the Philippines and eventually "crashed," She Zhijiang saw an opportunity—to ride on Guo's popularity, making his "spy" identity more credible.
She Zhijiang's accusations caused a starkly different reaction in the Philippines. Most people did not believe She's words, even ridiculing the parliament for believing the nonsense of a "red notice person"; however, many politicians believed it without doubt, starting various conspiracy theories, not knowing whether they were truly naive or had other intentions.
But from subsequent developments, She Zhijiang's move did not seem to gain him more credibility. Today, he is still in a Thai prison, deprived of his freedom; and with the crackdown on Myawaddy's telecom fraud park, he also lost his ill-gotten wealth and fortune.
What She Zhijiang, still imprisoned in Thailand, thinks about this outcome, we do not know; but Guo Huaping, who was initially framed by She Zhijiang, might be popping champagne in prison right now.
Some people are curious: What exactly is the relationship between She Zhijiang and Guo Huaping? One says "we are teammates," the other insists "I don't know him," definitely one of them is lying. But considering both of their credit and reputation are bankrupt, who is lying, we can only wait and "watch the drama."
But one thing is certain, with the strict crackdown on online gambling and telecom fraud gambling crimes by various countries, the imprisonment of gray industry tycoons like She Zhijiang and Guo Huaping is already the best outcome for them.
