BEIJING, March 29 (Xinhua) -- China and Cambodia here on Friday launched the Year of Law Enforcement Cooperation between the two sides, pledging to strengthen cooperation in combating cross-border criminal activities.

Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi and visiting Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sar Kheng attended the launch ceremony.

Zhao said that the decision of the two countries' leaders to designate this year as China-Cambodia law enforcement cooperation year opens a new chapter for bilateral law enforcement cooperation.

This year the two sides will regularly carry out joint law enforcement operations against crimes such as illegal online gambling, telecom fraud, drug crimes, crimes committed by mafia-like gangs and violent crimes, he said. Moreover, they will also adopt customs facilitation measures and make efforts to better protect the security and interests of the enterprises and citizens located in each other's country.

It's a tragedy what was allowed to happen to this place. Corruption at the highest level and another little piece of paradise lost forever

^^^ The reports of heavy-handed activity by the very rich against the powerless and even the well-to-do, of Chinese criminal activity all over Cambodia, of arrests of anyone resembling political opponents, of the bilateral policing agreement (Cambodia-China) and of the harassment of journalists have been piling up weekly. 

 

The table is being set for the new owners of Cambodia. 

 

I find myself spending far less time keeping up with visa and living conditions in Cambodia. In fact, I have pretty much given up on ever living there again.
