Two Chinese Caught Illegally Crossing the Border into Cambodia
Stung Treng province, Cambodia News: On May 5, 2019, at 10:00 pm, two Chinese male nationals were arrested by Cambodia border guards at the Trapeang Kreal International Border Crossing between Cambodia and Laos.
YANG TAOTAO, 30 years old, and LIU XIAOXIANG, 35, both from China, were apprehended when they tried to cross the border illegally from Laos by going through the forest and by-passing the border check-point. The two men were carrying ID cards and a small sum of money, but neither of them has a passport, so they have been sent to the Investigation Department for Immigration to have their cases processed.

Re: Two Chinese Caught Illegally Crossing the Border into Cambodia
Why is it that a lot of Chinese being nabbed in Cambodia have no passports ?
Is there a reason they would with-hold them, or perhaps they never had one in the first place which implies a lot are getting into Cambodia illegally ?

They believe they're above any law, plain and simple.offroadscholar wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 3:01 pm Why is it that a lot of Chinese being nabbed in Cambodia have no passports ?

Mainland Chinese follow their government’s example. Mainland Chinese make the law so are never above the law.Tarndog wrote:They believe they're above any law, plain and simple.

I think it was Frank Lee Bent who noted that many absconding chinese workers were turning up in the crime statistics here.offroadscholar wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 3:01 pm Why is it that a lot of Chinese being nabbed in Cambodia have no passports ?

After escaping their indentured/prison-labor/"contracted" jobs in the construction industry they turn to crime.
That makes sense to me, and their passports would still be held by the employer .

Yes, it's standard practice for people traffickers to keep their victims' passports to prevent them from escaping.SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 9:08 pmI think it was Frank Lee Bent who noted that many absconding chinese workers were turning up in the crime statistics here.offroadscholar wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 3:01 pm Why is it that a lot of Chinese being nabbed in Cambodia have no passports ?

In the case above, the two illegal Chinese were trying to enter Cambodia from Laos. But it's quite possible that they are on the run from a "contracted job" (Chinese work gang) in Laos where their passports could have been confiscated.
And, as a word in favour of the so-called Chinese "criminals", remember that many of them may have been arrested for "crimes" against the Chinese state, local authorities, powerful neighbors, or anyone in the Communist Party.

It couldn't be impossible to get from Yunnan through Laos into Cambodia by dodging the main border posts and using bogus ID in between. And even if these dudes had valid passports, they might have had reasons to ditch them just to delay any actions by local law enforcement.offroadscholar wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 3:01 pm Why is it that a lot of Chinese being nabbed in Cambodia have no passports ?

Silence, exile, and cunning.
