Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): More than 60 Chinese tourists protested in front of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Kingdom of Cambodia in order to ask the embassy to contact their tour company to arrange flight tickets for them to return home for the October holiday and to ask for a solution to other problems.

Sources from the authorities said that at first, about 40 Chinese people protested in front of the embassy, ​​which then increased to about 60 people who had gathered there by 9:37am on August 19, 2021, on the pavement before the gates of the Chinese Embassy on Mao Tse Toung Blvd, Phnom Penh.


Sources said that at about 10 am, the Chinese Embassy asked two representatives of the protesters to enter and discuss their grievances. The police authorities of Chamkar Mon district then asked the other protesters to move on, and the group had disbanded by 11:20 a.m.


At 12:20, the two protesters came out and reported on the meeting with Chinese Embassy officials, saying the Embassy agreed to resolve three of their problems, including :
1 -the resolution of being able to return home for China National Day,(a Chinese National holiday 1-7 October, also called Golden Week, where families traditionally return home)
2- If they are sick, the embassy is required to help through the Chinese Association in Cambodia
3- Those who want to return home must register through the website of the Chinese Embassy.

Flights to China are being cancelled. (Or rather, China is suspending inward flights from certain countries.) This is the latest example:

China’s civil aviation regulator has announced the suspension of a Cambodia Airways flight after passengers tested positive for COVID-19.
The suspension of flight KR961 from Phnom Penh to Chengdu will last for two weeks, starting from Aug. 23, after five passengers tested positive on the flight on August 4, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said Tuesday on its website.

The CAAC said that the airline is not allowed to transfer the original quota of the flights to other routes.

According to the CAAC policy, flight suspension will last two weeks if the number of passengers testing positive for COVID-19 reaches five.

Seems like the Chinese embassy is more helpful to its people than many western embassies have been to theirs.

The protesting would seem to indicate otherwise.

Flights to any chinese cities are mostly cancelled. Airfares easily set them back at USD 10K. Not to mentioned the mandatory 14 days quarantine they have to served in Cambodia at USD 70 per night, the PCR test, lgm test at USD 250. When they reach China, these chinese have to served another 14-21 days quarantine. That explained their anger. The chinese embassy are not doing any help.

I think they are supposed to quarantine for 2 weeks before departure

The Chinese government just cancelled the right for Cambodian airlines to fly to China because of covid risk. So now many Chinese are stuck here.
