No more sleepy colonial town.

Welcome, Second China city.

At least the provinces and villages will stay Khmer in the future.

Livable land in China 33% of the country. Arable (food producing) land 33% of the country. Food or people. 1 Billion plus population. Where to live?

Land available for living in Cambodia = almost 100%.

Kampot is next.

Chinese in the People’s Republic of China love living in high density housing in big cities. The big Chinese cities will relocate to the cities and towns in Cambodia. 2-10 million per city. The villages should be spared and be ghettoes for the ordinary Khmer.
Please escape to greener pastures while the going is still good.

Population of Cambodia = 15 million.

Prefecture level Chinese city = 2-7 million Chinese
Sub provincial Chinese city = 4-9 million Chinese

That’s not even the major cities or municipalities.

Just imagine the Kingdom of Wonder having a couple locations = Sinhanoukville, Kampot, Siem Reap, Battambang, transform into major Chinese cities, and the rest into smaller ones.

The Khmer will be completely outnumbered once the move is completed.

China needs a place to put it’s population.
Cambodia is relatively empty.
Once the 100+ million Chinese from the PRC settle into the Kingdom of Wonder, there will be lots of business space for the 15-20 million Khmer.

Chinese preferentially want Chinese. Chinese want to eat Chinese food, live in Chinese hotels, take tours in Chinese buses, etc. Even the People’s Republic of China sends Chinese workers to the strip mine Africa instead of hiring locals on the Belt and Road Initiative. Chinese don’t even bother to take care of other Chinese in their own country. The Khmer poor will get more booze, cigarettes, etc., to lift them out of poverty (or at least feel warm inside). The government will continue to get massive loans for ‘infrastructure’ and the number of luxury everything will increase.

China city will become China Mega City One.

Oh, there will be the ethnic minority who wear funny looking clothes and do cute dances in a cute show for visitors to see. All worth throwing some RMB for the trained monkeys to dance.

Sorry for the pessimism.
Cambodian People’s Party. Just like the Chinese People’s Party. They are the communists. Just the ones who drive luxury SUVs and live in nice Boreys.

Any alternative to the status quo is equated to the Khmer Rouge. Or just simply outlawed.
Wait until there are 30-45 million PRC Chinese living in the Kingdom of Wonder.

It’ll be just like Tibet.
Except there is a new twist. The PRC has hooks in all the western countries of the world with the Confucius institute as well as extensive trade, student exchanges, outright financial support of many technocrats and policy leaders in the west. As well as having the head of WHO Health in their pocket.

COMINTERN in the 1930s had an ambitious plan. Infiltrate all the educational institutions of the west and indoctrinate them to carry benefits of socialism. And to turn the world socialist in the end. Fast forward through the decades.

The communist Chinese play for long term victory. Would never dismiss them out of hand.
