I want to clear up some misunderstanding about the Chinese

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Actually, I think most Chinese want to make friends with people from other countries.

Because having a foreign friend seems like a cool thing to some Chinese.

But, you know. A lot of people don't know what social software you use, don't know what you like, don't know your culture, and even if you do, you probably don't know what to say except for awkward giggles and drinks.

I don't take orders from any organization.

I'm just a regular guy who came to work here.

I don't care about politics, so I don't know what you mean by these things.

No, the truth is.

For Chinese people living in other countries

WeChat is not a social software, has replaced the phone-SMS-video calls-and so on.

Only for the Chinese

There may be something wrong with my grammar. Maybe what I want to express is not a certain meaning, but I'm sorry, I can't do it.

I can always tell when my Chinese landlord is in the house, he has his phone glued to his ear, and is talking so loud. Constantly. I notice it is a prevalent practice, the Chinese have no sense or need for a private conversation; they do it on the train, on planes, and everywhere. Loudly. How come they don't seem to notice or care that it annoys the people around them?

But, after all, China has a population of 1.3 billion.
Without some retarded, I might feel like I'm living in heaven.

So, if you have any questions about Chinese people in Cambodia, or any questions about China, please ask me.
My English is poor. Also hope to know more about some of the western culture.
Hello KHCHINATD,

Regardless where or what you are born you are an individual with your own mind and personality, there's no need to apologize for a whole Country or race's actions. Kick back and take things with a grain of salt every Country gets dragged through the mud at some point :beer3: some more than others :mrgreen:
