According to reporters from the Guangxi International Media Center (Cambodia) and the Cambodia–China Times, Mr. Chen Zhi, founder and chairman of Prince Group, was detained in Cambodia and extradited to China to assist with investigations by relevant authorities. This arrest marks a significant development in an internationally attention-grabbing case due to its large scale and cross-border nature.
