Chinese Thugs Shoot Up Casino in Sihanoukville

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

SHK China's biggest toilet. I hear when you get released from prison in China you get a Versace t shirt and a one way ticket to the coastal paradise that was once Sihanoukville

Many Chinese are given conditional parole to work on belt road initiative projects overseas. Many in Cambodia have no documents.

Many accounts of them coming ashore in shipping containers through the port, and at 3 AM at the airport in SV without passing through immigration.

I dont think you could have ever described Sihanoukville as "paradise". It was pleasant in the old days but perhaps you glasses was coloured by crumpet.

It's strange that, despite it's sizable population, the Chinese in the UK go largely unnoticed. Even in London, which like most major cities, has it's own Chinatown, the Chinese are known for pretty much keeping themselves to themselves. I have a good friend who lives in the centre of Chinatown in Madrid, Spain, and he says pretty much the same thing.

I'm sure they're probably involved in all sorts of underhand dealings in the UK, much like the Russians, but they keep it very much out of sight, and it would be extremely unusual to see a Chinese citizen causing the kind of mayhem they seem to cause in Cambodia. Even when the subject of racism comes up in the UK, most people think of Indians, Pakistani's and black people. The Chinese barely register on the racism radar.

There must be something about Cambodia attracting a certain kind of Chinese. I know it's commonly assumed that they see themselves as a superior race, which partly explains their behavior, but they don't display that kind of behavior in the UK, nor, as far as I can tell, the rest of Europe.

Of course, all Chinese people are not the same - they are different like us all.
BUT, in Cambodia, there is work for construction workers - guys from the countryside, people who can't get work in China, which means lots of single guys living together in bad conditions, far from their families, and not much else to do when they are not working, except get wasted and fight.
There are also the casinos and the easy pickings that attract criminals. And there's not much in the way of Cambodian law enforcement. Maybe the recent crackdown on online gambling will help solve this problem, but i don't think so. Casinos attract dirty money, drugs, prostitution and gangsters.
It has also been suggested that the Chinese authorities are exporting their problem citizens to Cambodia.
