Melbourne newspaper's take on Sino-ville takeover
Melbourne newspaper's take on Sino-ville takeover
"Chinese money has made properties in the seaside village of Sihanoukville as expensive as Byron Bay. But now, crowded out by casinos and resorts, the locals are pushing back – literally."
"HE and Chinese leaders announced $US7 billion in new investments in the past several months, including in forestry, a new airport for Phnom Penh, a hospital and a communications satellite.
The Chinese-built Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville expressway is expected to cost more than $US2 billion."
" In one Chinese restaurant on the beachfront adjacent to four casinos, a plate of steamed lobster costs $US80, compared to less than $US5 for the same amount at nearby Cambodian eateries.
A Cambodian man recently won $US130,000 in a casino, but when he went to collect, the Chinese operator refused payment, pointing out it is illegal for Cambodians to gamble. The man returned with a group of friends and trashed gambling tables before police arrived."
