A Chinese anti-scam blogger was kidnapped, tortured, and left to die on a mountainside after he named the Chinese nationals running massive telecom fraud compounds in Cambodia. In August 2024, Wu Kai (online name “Huijian”) publicly exposed violent crimes, casino lending, and scam operations linked to senior figures in the Prince Group and Jinbei Group. These industrial-scale compounds in Cambodia are overwhelmingly run by Chinese networks. He was among the first to name them. Weeks later, an overseas contractor posted a bounty on Telegram, starting at 300,000 yuan and rising to 1 million yuan. Men posing as police grabbed him in a Huizhou parking lot. They forced him to delete his WeChat posts, beat him, and used pliers to clip off half a fingernail. On November 11, 2024, the main attacker kicked him in the head until he was unconscious on a remote hillside in Jiangxi, then covered his body with grass and left. Villagers found him two days later. He died from blunt-force head trauma. The ringleader who carried out the beating received a suspended death sentence. The overseas contractor who ordered and paid for the hit remains free. The man Wu publicly accused was extradited to China in 2026 and is under investigation. When someone who exposes industrial-scale fraud run by Chinese networks can be hunted and killed inside China, what does that say about the cost of speaking out?
