MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Monday deported Chinese fugitive Shi Chunfang, who is wanted in China for kidnapping.

Chinese authorities took custody of Shi, 40, upon his arrival in Jinjiang on a Xiamen Air flight, Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado said yesterday.

Arrested on Dec. 14 in Taytay, Rizal, Shi faced an arrest warrant issued in 2024 by the Jinjiang public security bureau.

Citing intelligence reports, BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval said Shi was involved in the production of methamphetamine in the Philippines.

Shi headed a shabu laboratory in Rizal, Viado said.

Records showed that Shi was the subject of a blacklist order in January and a watch list order in July for being an undesirable alien.

Authorities had also arrested Shuguang Fan, 37, for his prolonged and unexplained stay in the country. — Rudy Santos
