Chinese Couple in Bentley Flying Spur Crash on Riverside

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.

I'm waiting for the CCP to release a statement blaming the Americans for hacking the Mustang's control chip and forcing the car into head-butting (nice verb) the light pole. Out of sight, the Chinese drop-kick the driver straight into a mainland jail for endangering state security by driving a Ford.

Lots of people from all over the world. I don't see how that is relevant to my point.
Then how is your point relevant in that case.

Maybe because there are a lot more of them here than any other nationality?

Passed this car showroom the other day on K5 St, Phnom Penh. WOW someone has money here. I wonder how sales are compared to a European Capital city, including the UK, price comparison and how many models sold in 2020?

A (very subjective) distinction between a great many crash reports in Cambodia, and those specifically involving the Chinese is that the Chinese frequently take what appears to be a fairly presentable car and stick it in a shop, in a Tuktuk, in a lamppost, on a concrete divider, etc.

They stand out.

Argh! Thanks @Freightdog. Don't know how I flipped the Bentley and Mustang stories. Just another night in a string of Chinese vehicles assaulting street furniture, I guess.
