Authorities in Myanmar’s Wa State announced on September 21 that another 26 Chinese nationals have been deported after sneaking into the region illegally. The entire group was caught, processed, and escorted back across the border to Chinese police.

Official reports kept things straightforward: exactly 26 people, with no one left out. Handover procedures at the border checkpoint have already been wrapped up, and the whole group is now back in China.

The border crossing might look casual enough on an average day, with motorbikes constantly buzzing past, but anyone trying to slip across through back channels stands out pretty quickly. As the official update made clear, there is no hiding out there—all 26 ended up right back where they started, escorted straight home.
