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.

Seriously? This is the new Sihanoukville? Haven't been in 6-7 years.

With all the bad (Chinese) news in this long thread, I'd tossed it as a serious candidate for residency. Now I'm 100% effin' sure.

To be fair, the great version of Sihanoukville was over like 10 years ago. Then it slowly faded into decline. The Chinese developments were the final nail in the proverbial "Snookie" coffin.

It's not only in SHV, I went to Phu Quoc last week and the Chinese manager of the hotel I was staying in said they want to make Phu Quoc into the new Hong Kong. Give it 3 years he said. Not exaggerating, his exacts words and not a tiny hotel either, brand new 260 room hotel.

Bloody hell. It is amazing but not unexpected. Cambodia has become a province of China. Good luck with that.
