Taking a Khmer to China

[xandreu]

Has anyone had any experience for taking a Khmer to China before? I have to go for a few days and my Khmer partner seems to think that Khmers have to show that they have a certain amount in their bank account before they will be granted a visa?

Anyone have any knowledge of this? I can only find information about HK for some reason, which I guess will have different rules to mainland China?

No first hand experience, but this is the first result that pops up in Google using the search term "chinese visa for cambodian passport holders". Doesn't mention a minimum amount of money they have to show. There's plenty of other search results which I haven't bothered looking at, but may be a good place for you to start.
