Shwe Kokko is a Chinese organized crime hub due to the Burmese government's limited reach and oversight in this border area. Shwe Kokko is the destination of many Asian human trafficking victims (from countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and India ) who have reported being forced to work in Shwe Kokko in Chinese-run online scam operations, lured by the prospect of romance and well-paying jobs. In September 2022, over 300 Indian nationals were reported to be held hostage in Shwe Kokko. (en) |
