Spotlight: Construction work on China-funded stadium in Cambodia in full swing
PHNOM PENH, June 16 (Xinhua) — The construction on a China-aided new national stadium in Cambodia has gone full steam ahead of the project completion plan set by the end of 2020.
At the site, hundreds of Cambodian and Chinese workers were working feverishly on their assigned duties although the weather was typically scorching in the Southeast Asian nation.
Advanced technology and sophisticated equipment have been used, as a facility for testing the quality of concrete and steel has been erected.
Eight tower cranes have been installed, with two of them can be 115 meters tall. Two giant crawler cranes are capable of lifting up to 180 tons of steel structures. Those monster machines are the biggest-ever cranes used in Cambodia.
Guo Liangliang, senior engineer at the China State Construction Engineering Corporation(CSCEC), which is the contractor of the main stadium, said the construction of the stadium, the main venue for tournaments when Cambodia hosts the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in 2023, is progressing rapidly.
The stadium construction is estimated to cost 1.1 billion Chinese yuan (about 170 million U.S. dollars), which is the China’s grant aid to Cambodia. Work on the project began in 2017 and was scheduled to be finished at the end of 2020.

Very innovative. They can have the athletics on the inside and the aquatic events outside.
What a great idea. Would save building separate venues.
Dear world. Take note of this amazing sporting venue

Maybe a place to float some polystyrene containers ?
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.

Re: Sky train planned to link Phnom Penh to new 2023 SEA Games stadium
used mainly chinks workers, material mainly imported from china, 170mil granted to KoW, end of day 150mil flows back to china, 20mil to pockets of officials, after all is done KoW still owes china 170mil in debt or gratitude (dont quote me on the figures, im just assuming)
anyway i really dont see HE as such a simpleton, hopefully his plan is 10 years later he would reverse his friendly attitude with china and says fuck you china, now i revoke all your investments in KoW, all the hardware that you have built belongs to KoW now. hopefully

Maybe if ever there is a change of government they will say no that was the previous governments debt,,, As in the case of the Lon Nol debt to the USA.

Half of construction work completed on China-aided stadium in Cambodia

PHNOM PENH, May 12 (Xinhua) -- The construction work on a China-funded national stadium here is currently halfway towards completion, Thong Khon, president of the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia, said on Sunday.
The stadium is being developed by the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) under the Chinese aid of 1.1 billion Chinese yuan (about 160 million U.S. dollars).
"To date, about 50 percent of the project has been finished and it is expected that the whole project will be completed by the end of 2020," he said at a ceremony marking the completion of the stadium's main structures.
Thong Khon, who is also the minister of tourism, added that some 70 percent of the stadium's 60,000 seats had already been installed and will be completely built by July this year.
The five-storey stadium covers a 16-hectare parcel in the 85-hectare Morodok Techo National Sports Complex, which is located 18 km north of central Phnom Penh.
It will serve as the main venue for tournaments when Cambodia hosts the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in 2023.

Hmmm. Where is Cambodia going to get all that water?
Second, I see a huge security and safety bottleneck there, if there's only one entrance/exit road. Of course, can't see the other side of the stadium.
