Gambling ban driving Chinese nationals away
However, it also says:
Gambling ban driving Chinese nationals away
From this article: https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50641757/g ... nals-away/Tens of thousands of Chinese nationals are reportedly leaving the Kingdom following a government ban on online gambling intended to reduce the number of crimes committed by foreigners.
Brigadier General Ath Bony, deputy director of the General Administrative Department at the General Department of Immigration, yesterday said more Chinese nationals are leaving in comparison to arriving since the ban was enforced last month.
From August 18 until September 7, there were about 140,000 departures of Chinese nationals recorded. Meanwhile, 130,000 Chinese national arrivals were recorded in the same period.
“Since the government banned online gambling, there are more Chinese [nationals] leaving the Kingdom than coming,” he said. “It does not mean all of them are going to leave.”
However, he noted that the number of those leaving the Kingdom continues to increase.
“Normally, the number of Chinese people leaving and coming remain stable,” Brig Gen Bony said. “Before, there were more arrivals than departures.”
General Keo Vanthan, spokesman of the General Department of Immigration, yesterday said 32,300 Chinese nationals arrived in Preah Sihanouk’s Sihanoukville between August 18 and 31. Meanwhile, the departure rate stood at 36,800 in the same period.
He noted that in the first eight months of this year, as many as 1.7 million Chinese national arrivals were recorded in the Kingdom, while 1.6 million departures were recorded.
However, it also says:
San Chey, executive director of the Affiliated Network for Social, yesterday said the government ban had indeed influenced foreigners’ decision to stay in the Kingdom.
However, he added that the rising number of Chinese nationals leaving the Kingdom was not only driven by the online gambling ban, but also due to a Labour Ministry announcement last month to bar foreign nationals from self-employment in 10 categories of work, including as managers of human resources or administration in private companies.

Re: Chinese Media Reports Exodus From SHK
Had a theory for sometime that the Chinese are 1 time visitors when it comes to travel... Go to place, get there selfie, move on... And whilst they have a population of 1.3 billion, only a small percentage can afford to travel, thus there's going to be a drop off.. though its happening a lot sooner than I thought.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 2:15 pm There are problems with falling Chinese arrivals throughout SE Asia.

In the case of SHK, I imagine some recent visitors would be none to impressed with the rainy season, associated flooding and issues around garbage removal, poor sewerage/sanitation infrastructure. Methinks hardly worth recommending that to your friends..
And with the more recent yaun/renminbi depreciation against USD, presumably they are feeling the currency pain like aussies and brits.
