chinese in cambodia
been reading on here re lots of chinese moving into cambodia. Is this recent? what are they doing in cambodia, surely they are not needed for work, or maybe they are. Do they change the vibe of the place? ie the bars, restuarants etc. How do the locals feel about them and is it set to continue?

Re: chinese in cambodia

Re: chinese in cambodia
Chinese people have been here for generations. They have integrated into the Khmer society and often refer to themselves as Khmer-Chinese. (Not a problem with anyone).
More recently, Chinese companies have been moving in with big bucks and bringing in their own people. I myself am a casualty of a Chinese business takeover (whiteys out, chinese in. Bye bye).
The biggest notable or observable influx of Chinese has probably been in Sihanoukville where the big bucks have bought out almost everything, brought in their own people and just running online gambling or VoIP scams.
But don't worry, there's more money coming soon. The new Macao, new ports at Kampot, etc.

It's OK, I just assumed you were talking to yourself.
It's back? It's invisible to me.

Re: chinese in cambodia
They've been here since the time of the Khmer Empire and probably before. So more than a millennium. They'll be here for long after all the long-noses are gone.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: chinese in cambodia
I notice a lot more Chinese men than woman around. Has anyone else noticed this trend?
