Repatriation flights: How did China secretly bring thousands of scammers from Myanmar back home?

In late 2023–2024, a series of special repatriation flights quietly crossed the border between Myanmar and China, carrying thousands of alleged telecom scam suspects back to the mainland. Chinese state media released carefully curated footage of guarded men boarding planes and landing on Chinese runways — powerful images meant to signal control, resolution, and victory. But behind the cameras lies a far more complicated story. There were no public extradition hearings, no disclosed legal frameworks, and no clear explanation of how these mass transfers were approved. Myanmar’s side remained largely silent, while Beijing emphasized results over process. Who decided who boarded those planes? What agreements were reached behind closed doors? And why was speed prioritized over transparency? This investigation pulls apart what we know — and what remains hidden — about China’s Myanmar repatriation flights. Drawing on reporting from Reuters, Xinhua, CGTN, and Myanmar Now, we examine the diplomatic pressure, security coordination, and legal gray zones that made these returns possible, and why Beijing wanted the images seen but the paperwork unseen. The planes have landed. The footage has aired. But the most important questions were never answered. When thousands can be flown home in silence, where does law end — and power begin?
