Chinese Expatriates Were Paranoid Following the Recent Rounding Up and Started to Leave Sihnoukville

Sihanoukville: According to Kampuchea Thmey Daily News, within the last couple days after police rounded up Chinese expatriates and arrested 160 Chinese living in Cambodia illegally, it seemed like many guest houses, hotels and rented house normally were full with Chinese became noticeably quiet.

According to owners of guest houses and hotels, from now on, there might be not many Chinese people in Sihanokville like before, because many long term Chinese residents and businessmen decided to move out of Sihanoukville, a place where all of them are in love with. They canceled all renting and leasing contracts. Some of them (Chinese) said , they will be moving to live in Koh Kong or Kampot province and some other said, they are moving back home and some said, they will be investing in Vietnam, Laos and Burma instead . They believed that Sihnoukville is no longer a safe place for their businesses.

People said, the presence of Chinese people in Sihanoukville is a big contribution in reducing poverty in Cambodia as most of them are businessman, investors. They provided jobs to Cambodian, not to mention, people in the markets and owners of guest houses and hotels also get benefits from their presences as well. People will lose benefits if Chinese people continue leaving Sihanoukville.

Ville: In the past few days after the operation of more than 160 people have already been observed that the guesthouse rented house as well as hotel - Sihanoukville on the territory that used by rich Chinese now seem impressive calm.

In this connection, according to the landlords as well as a number of guesthouses and hotels, said the province Sihanoukville from today onwards we may not present as rich before others because a large number of Chinese who rent long-term stay to do business or run a business, they decided to leave the territory Sihanoukville, which they used to love gradually, and canceled all contracts relating to land rent, lease rental buildings almost exclusively. Chinese were sometimes told that they lived Kong or Kampot province, and some told to return to their homeland and others to put capital investment in Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Laos, or again, they think Ville is now likely not safe for business Their longer.

At the same time, there are also raised that many Chinese presence on the territory Sihanoukville is reducing contributions poverty level because most of them are big business as an investment business that can employ Khmer and for vendors selling fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and other food in the market can also earn too many per day, especially rent. But for the moment, appears to be fully completed, if people continue to leave the territory Sihanoukville.

Gen. Sok Rithy, deputy director of the provincial police Sihanoukville immigration who testified said that for the decrease, as well as growing Chinese presence on the territory PAS can not comment because this matter and police are updating, but he also estimates that Chinese Sihanouk province may have fallen over time.

It should be noted, too, that on the morning of 31 October 2015, the Police General Department of Immigration led by Lieutenant-Khuong, deputy director of the rich Police General Department of Immigration immigration police Sihanouk Provincial Police in cooperation with police (INTE POl) China, the Chinese Embassy in the kingdom of Cambodia, searched a mansion mansion located in Village No. 1 ward 3 Sihanoukville and other places in the guesthouse management units in the village No. 3 No. 3 Ville neighborhood Chinese detained a total of 168 people, 19 Although the review found Chinese standpoint, each of them has a valid passport and legal employment card issued by the Department of Sihanoukville.

Such arrests is why Chinese make others fear they poured out their territory Ville understand Sihanouk in before and after could be arrested too.

If the Chinese are leaving Sihanoukville because the cops are rounding up criminals and ne'er-do-wells that also happen to be Chinese, then there is likely more to their hasty departure than mere ethnic fidelity. I wonder if these people who are threatening to leave have their passports and work permits in order, how much they were profiting from or even working with the deported criminals, if they have all of their permits in order for the gambling operations they are setting up down there, and what else they might be involved in to make them start worrying about the police. Imagine if the barang threatened to leave en masse because the police were rounding up white pedos and thieves and others with long expired visas and no work permits. What would that say of those barang threatening to leave?

Kampot must be thrilled at the prospect of a flood of Chinese gambling dens buying up all the guesthouses and hotels.

If all these Chinese people were living and working under the radar or mounting scams in Sihanoukville previously with no hassles from the authorities, then there was probably a certain agreement in exchange for "commission" given.
Looks like the previous agreements may no longer be good with the new police chief ?
(Only guessing, but it ties in with recent changes. )

The ones in the last two photos look like they need to get back to junior high school, don't they?
