More Chinese Takeover 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.

Another building self destructed near the brewery today. Saves on demolition costs I suppose.
Noting reports that many Chinese workers are preparing to leave Sihanoukville, Shepherd said "this bubble has well and truly burst."

Cambodian officials recently ordered the demolition of 14 recently constructed buildings in Sihanoukville, including a number of casino hotels that were found to be dangerously flawed following a building collapse in June which killed 28 workers.

"The place is in chaos," said Brad King, managing director of Cambodia Real Estate.

With online gambling gone the focus must now be on attracting tourists- and not just the Chinese.

The environment , infrastucture and building safety top of the list.

Crime seems to be being tackled by the Khmer Authorities head on which is positive.

Long way to go on many fronts but no other option.!!!!

So the bottles have Chinese text on it I guess? Because this island of trash happens every year. Many times it even hits the shore and usually the trash originates from Thailand or Vietnam.
