The citizens admitted they all illegally entered China from 2019-2020 to work.

Due to the complications caused by COVID-19, Chinese authorities have clamped down on illegal entries.

Among the returned citizens, Hoang Dinh Huong from the northern province of Bac Giang was wanted for gambling by the Vietnamese police.

The citizens were asked to complete procedures in accordance with legal regulations and instructed to return to their localities.

The same day, police arrested Duong Van Huu (born in 1983) from Cao Bang City who had been wanted for organising illegal immigration under Article 348 of the Penal Code. In December last year, Huu and two others arranged for four Chinese nationals to enter Vietnam illegally. After the Chinese nationals were detected and detained, Huu fled to the southern province of Binh Phuoc. He was arrested when returning home in Cao Bang City.

The provincial police are completing procedures to take the case to court.
