Seems there is a Chinese and Korean invasion in Cambodia

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Seems there is a Chinese and Korean invasion in Cambodia

Post by Jas777 »

I haven't been in Cambodia since 2002 but from what I've been hearing and reading there seems to be a Chinese and a Korean invasion in that country. Living in the Philippines for 15 years the place became overrun with Koreans and they're not exactly the friendliest people in the world if you know what I mean! Most of them are downright rude and that goes for the women too. Chinese aren't much better and their population is increasing day by day. I've been reading and hearing from people, the same as going on in Cambodia.I know for certain the Cambodia government is very close to the Chinese as that is where their getting most of their aid from. They seem to also back them on the world stage all the time. So how does that boil down to living there in Cambodia if anybody care to give their insight on it?

There is no "seems like" the hundreds of articles you can easily google or posts on here should tell you enough of what is going on.

If you stay away from the main border towns and Sihanoukville not that many around yet but was a bit shocked to see a restaurant in a smaller town needing to put up no spitting signs around the walls in Chinese

It wasn't meant to be terse but as I say a cursory search for Chinese in the search bar will bring up hundreds of stories, with comment from expats living here about it. Here's a 134 page thread to start off with. In short lots of Chinese, Sihanoukville is ruined, parts of PP are now full of Chinese, lots of casinos, lots of gangsters, lots of crime usually to each other.

newsworthy/more-chinese-takeover-sihano ... 20Sihanouk

Also search the excellent articles on it in the South East Asia globe and the AL Jazeera report on the casinos

Butterfly bar and Candy bar are owned by the same woman. The girls go back and forth in addition to going up and down. Most of them are about a 4 on the finger scale...
