China has repatriated 65 foreign nationals for entering the country illegally and working in the Guangxi region.

Police on Saturday said they have arrested three suspects, including a foreign national, in connection with smuggling of foreigners into China to work at a local wood company, Xinhua news agency reported.

They allegedly helped the workers cross the border illegally and charged exorbitant "transportation fees" of up to 1,500 yuan ($232) per person.
