Cambodian unease as Chinese turn paradise into Macau

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.

You're being sarcastic right?
I believe the end result will be good. It's just a transition period now.
And the end result is? A fully fledged state of China? 99 year lease of khmer land (revenge for Britain taking Honkers)? Khmers have lost sovereignty and are displaced. Chinese mafia rule the local police? Barangs not welcome in chinese establishments? High rise condos ruining the landscape? Crowded beaches full of cigarette butts? Businesses run by chinese for chinese only? Gambling heaven? A chinese naval base?

The rest is all irrelevant... this is the real reason China bought Cambodia.

So many tall buildings in SHV now. Enjoy your new Chinese-built condo while it's still standing. It might not be there next week.
