The vast majority can't afford Cambodian citizenship, but you only need one. And the vast majority can afford to buy a (small) piece of land in Cambodia, at least at the prices common a few years ago.

I can imagine the one with citizenship thinks of some creative construction to buy land, and hand it over in a way acceptable for the Chinese. Chinese are really keen on buying land because it's not allowed in China.

Private Client Services

Mr. Zhang is a foreigner. According to Cambodian Laws, foreigner is not allowed to own landed properties in Cambodia (exception is provided for property building – 1st floor and above).



Solution: CANA TRUST, a trustworthy local Cambodian company holds the landed property in trust for Mr. Zhang in accordance with the agreed terms and conditions of the trust agreement. Mr. Zhang may engage CANA TRUST to manage the landed properties such as rental collection from tenants, paying utilities bills, disposal of the landed properties etc.

99.9% of the businesses are on Cambodian owned land or Cambodian owned buildings leased to the Chinese. (I don’t know. Maybe 90% or 100%, but a lot)

One day they will yank the carpet away. You’ll see.

I worked for one of these big companies in shv. A lot of the chinese there have purchased cambodian citizenship so they can own land, buildings etc

Define “a lot”?
The vast majority, which is “a lot”, don’t or can’t or don’t want to.

He is in a pretty bad way
