Increasing Chinese political influence and presence in Cambodia has sparked anti-Chinese sentiment.

 

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA — When a Chinese national crashed his military number-plated SUV into a stone erected in Phnom Penh in the 1990s to celebrate Cambodian-American friendship, many commented on how it was the perfect metaphor for Cambodia in 2018.

 

“Chinese nationals have come to invest in Cambodia, prompting so many problems to Cambodia and making the people suffer,” commented one Facebook user under a post using the #ChineseAgain! hashtag on a popular page focused on highlighting social issues.

Thailand already has its little skirmishes on its borders to titillate and distract the xenophobes 

Well, when your leader sells the country off beneath the feet of the average citizen, I am hardly surprised. The question is, will this anger be pointed towards Hun Sen, as it should be, or will he masterfully come in and position himself as the savior of a problem he himself helped create, once again?

paper weight gangsters lol

Would first world people such as the Americans want to invest

in a fourth world country like Cambodia ?
