Police in Hoa Hai Ward, Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang, has said that Zhang Liang, a Chinese national, 32, showed up to the police station at 10 am on June 28, and voluntarily confessed to trespassing into Vietnamese territory.

Investigators say Zhang Liang told them he crossed into Viet Nam illegally in November, 2020 from China’s Guangxi Province to Viet Nam’s Lang Son Province.

The Chinese man told investigators he took a car out of Lang Son Province to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). He left HCMC on April 25, 2021 for Hoi An City, Quang Nam Province, and he stayed there with Aphi who already returned to his country. Realizing his wrongdoing, Zhang Liang on June 28 took a Grab bike in Hoi An City to Da Nang’s the Hoa Hai Ward Station Police to allegedly confess to having entered Viet Nam illegally via a natural border pass.

Zhang Liang is being quarantined at a dormitory in the western side of Da Nang pending COVID-19 lab test result.

Police investigation into his illegal immigration is still underway.
