Chinese ambassador to Cambodia Xiong Bo yesterday said his nation stands in solidarity with Cambodian authorities that catch Chinese nationals committing crimes in the country, following criticism from Cambodians on Facebook. Mr Xiong met with reporters at the Chinese embassy in Phnom Penh to address rising concern amongst Cambodians, many of whom believe China is taking over the country, especially in Preah Sihanouk province, where Chinese investment in hotels and casinos has skyrocketed.

 

Mr Xiong said China absolutely supports the arrests of any of its nationals committing crimes in the country, operating businesses illegally or scamming fellow countrymen back home through Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) scams. “Concerning VoIP scams, China absolutely fights against it,” Mr Xiong said, noting some of the cases were bogus because young Chinese people come to Cambodia, lose money gambling and then dupe their parents into thinking they have been kidnapped in order to get their money.

 

“The Chinese government appeals to all Chinese people who live abroad to respect those countries’ laws and respect their customs and live in peace,” he added. Mr Xiong noted that more than one million Chinese nationals visited Cambodia in 2017.
