I found a Chinese Enclave in Cambodia (Phnom Penh)

Direct foreign investment. DFI, that's what many countries need. The canal next to Kep, that's going make Cambodia 80 million per year and create 20,000 direct and indirect jobs, state investment. Look at highway 6 another example. Shinokville was done by private companies, from the private sector,, not by the state.

All on chinese tea money so how can they pay that back

[@Jeff4559]

Same as in Africa, China goes to poor poverty stricken nations and build massive stores and cities for them. If you think it is charity work you are sorely mistaken.. These nations cannot financially pay their debt back to China so instead they will pay it back in blood. When china wants to use these people for war and the government is on China’s side, what are the people to do? When China says “we own your infrastructure, do you want us to shut it all down?” How will they fight that?

I'm surprised that you're surprised to find that neighbourhood. This area has been like this for a long time. Real estate is way less expensive here than downtown. There are many Chinese expat enclaves in Phnom Penh. Not all are budget locations either. Around Naga casino and Diamond island for example. They're dispersed all over the place. Some are even way, way further out than the airport and the other highways. Then there's the Chinese Khmer community.... There's an enclave near you.

Phnom Penh was and used to be Chinatown. From "Kimmo Keljunen's book", before 1970, 300,000 out of 500,000 people living in Phnom Penh were Chinese. 3/4 of Cambodia Chinese were living in Phnom Penh before 1970.

wow, that's really interesting, I never knew that

[@thelastmohican-k6x]

yep. phnom penh only became more ethnic khmer after the khmer rouge. the chinese community really took a large hit under the khmer rouge. cambodia became more homogenous after it

Come on people Cambodia now is China owned just the name remain Cambodia

[@andreandree4384]

Yes. True. I been to Phnom Penh and so mainlanders there nowadays 😢😢.. so sad.

[@jasonc3589]

So the people of Cambodia should turn down all of the Chinese investments into infrastructure and job creation in favor of what exactly, A U.S. military base? Please explain how that will help the citizens of Cambodia 🤡

@@andreandree4384I didn’t even see a single mainland Chinese person in Phnom Penh and I’m also Chinese. Lmao you smoking crack. I just got back recently too.

[@andreandree4384]

@@jasonc3589 my dear, you are so naive..all these chinese investment mostly benefit chinese companies and very little trickle down to the locals..actually, prices go up and the base of the pyramid struggles to keep up with the prices increase...only the rich cambodian can benefit and chinese china folks..
