This weekend, Radio 3 brings you the third of a new 13 part series; Trending China, that will focus on the fallout from a growing abduction scandal after mainland actor, Wang Xing, was recently rescued from a scam centre at the Thailand-Myanmar border.

The actor had gone missing after falling prey to a sham casting call in Bangkok, where he ended up being trafficked to a scam centre. While Wang is now safe, many other victims remain captives at guarded compounds where they're forced to perpetrate online scams. Calls are now growing for the authorities to do more to rescue many others believed to still be trapped in similar compounds. How will the authorities respond? Will the actor's abduction serve as a catalyst for tough action against these criminal syndicates?

Tune in this Saturday at 08:30am on Radio 3.

On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about Sino-British relations, as Vice President Han Zheng met with British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves at the China-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue in Beijing last week.

At 9:30, we'll be talking about the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, following months of negotiations brokered by Egypt and Qatar. What are the implications of this agreement? And how fragile is it?
