Kampot: Among 103 Vietnamese and Chines, 80 were arrested on June 7, 2016 by Investigation and Procedure Police Department of Interior Ministry, cooperated with Kampot Provincial Police, accusing of living and working in Cambodia illegally while they were working at a construction area in a shoes factory, Nhan Duc Phnom Penh Co,LTD, located in Kandal Tul village, Kampong Trach commune, Kampong Trach district, Kampot province.

Gen Ouk Haysela, a president of the department raised that, the arresting was hold under Mr Kai Samphors's commander, a Kampot provincial prosecutor, cooperated with provincial police. There were 93 Vietnamese, 15 women, 10 Chinese, 103 in total at the location above. He added that, among all the 103, there were 4 Chinese and 76 Vitnamese had no passports,80 in total. They were sent for a legal action after that, he continued.

What's surprising is not the arrest of the Vietnamese, but the arrest of Chinese nationals - proud
citizens of the mighty nation of dynamic and nuclear-armed China!

Are things really SO bad in parts of provincial China that people will readily leave China to work illegally in Cambodia?

It seems that if you are of Vietnamese heritage an ID card won't do anymore. You now require a passport. What do you reckon on the chances that only the ones that were too poor to pay a bribe got deported? Sounds like they are throwing all the cheap people out of the country or if Cambodian, in one big room.

I wonder when the immigration Police/Chinese police are (again) going to arrest the Chinese doing the casino/internet scams in Snookyville? I know of at least 60 Chinese working these internet gambling sites. (they live near me.)
