More details: It seems that there were complaints by local residents, and incidentally, both the massage shop signs were only in Chinese. These are both possible reasons for the shutdown. And also possible that the Chinese owners were not paying the Khmer policemen.

Their flyers look pretty overt, I've never seen anything like that here before.

Those are just the District Security Forces, strange to see them involved. They are a shady group, originally they just guarded parks (hence the Wat Phnom badge) and cleared vendors from places they were blocking up. Then after the 2013 elections were used to break up protests.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

Then you haven't been paying attention. From August 2018 - there was a big fuss about the authorities stamping out sexy flyers with naked Chinese women, then it all died down.
