More Chinese Takeover in Sihanoukville

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I left Snooky just over a year ago.

I do not recognise the place based on that video.

The pace of construction is phenomenal!

You probably meant destruction.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I was sitting next to a couple of them in a restaurant a few days ago and they were teaching themselves to speak Khmer. Same thing in a shop a few months back with a Chinese guy trying to ask for things in Khmer. Some of them are making an effort.
These are probably not the Chinese from Mainland China. Possible from Taiwan, or Singapore or other regions. Or maybe they are the exceptions.

Unlike Westerners who want the authentic local experience, Mainland Chinese prefer Cambodia to be experienced on a Chinese platter. The official news agencies don’t encourage citizens to go out and explore the world on their own. They live in a bubble and are quite happy.

Will Mainland Chinese be more adventurous in the future? If citizens go out on their own they may get exposed to ideas that don’t fit the Party orthodoxy. In an increasingly electronic police state, Mainland China might not want this to happen.

Just thoughts from the eternal traveller to the KOW.

We went to Sunset beach for a day and most shop owners refused to serve/ give a room to Chinese tourists.
Well, I suspect it's not a question of whether they consider Chinese tourists to be 'nice' or not, more likely, they have seen/heard what has happened in Chinaville and some of the undesirable consequences such that they don't want the same thing to happen to their part of the island?

Sad when a counties citizens get to take second place to foreigners.
Native people becoming second fiddle to foreigners is nothing new. Look at the uk

I think that can best be described as Karma.

I agree we are a nation of loud mouthed hooligans . We came we saw we conquered, but the people should not have to pay the price. The people only followed orders like any other country.
