Some Chinese just change their name, and come back under a different name.

Well it looks like the estate agents quoted in the papers this week claiming @siem Reap is the next Sihanoukville" were correct.
Cambodia is becoming China's open prison for lowlife scum they do not want at home. For ma closed society it seems very easy for villains to learn their trade and get passports and arrive here wihtou criminla records

Cambodia to give 165 Chinese the boot over illegal gambling ring
April 04, 2019
This past March, police in Cambodia’s Siem Reap province conducted raids of two locations suspected of running illegal online gambling rings. Their suspicions confirmed, the officers detained a massive amount of individuals, of which 165 were Chinese nationals. Now, all of those will most likely be deported from the country this weekend, according to a report by the Phnom Penh Post.

According to a spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior’s General Department of Immigration, Uk Hai Seila, China is going to send a plane to retrieve the individuals. He added, “We are preparing the documentation and the Chinese side also needs to arrange the flight, but we expect the aircraft to arrive as soon as possible, perhaps on April 7 or 8.”

Working with the Siem Reap court prosecutor, law enforcement officials raided the two gambling rings on March 28. Both were being operated in the village of Vihear Chin in Svay Dangkum and police detained the Chinese nationals and confiscated 150 computers.

During interrogations, the police learned that the operations had been running for about a month, according to a statement by Kim Cheasan, the deputy chief of the Siem Reap Immigration Police Department. Out of all 165 arrested, only 35 had passports.

Cheasan added that the Chinese nationals are being held in an immigration center near the Siem Reap international airport as they await their deportation.
