83 Chinese Corpses in Cambodia Await Repatriation

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.

Well that's great, but if China doesn't propose an alternative, it's irrelevant, unless they build a morgue and pay for it until repatriated.
Maybe they don't care about their deads after all.

The dead are more revered than the living.
People of the world, spice up your life.

That would go against traditional Chinese burial practices. However I'm surprised they have these so long, and there are so many. Who is paying for the electricity?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yeah, how weird.
It says a lot about their embassy i guess. The dead can wait, and it's someone elses's problem anyway.

Give them a month's notice to claim the bodies. If they don't, then burn them, grind them up and use them as fertilizer. Easy.

China is still pursuing the delusional dream of zero covid at the expense of its citizens. That makes it hard for them to repatriate their dead loved ones from overseas. Assuming of course they even get to hear about it..and have the funds to do it.
