Cambodia to tap Shenzhen development

[geovalin]

Preah Sihanouk, Cambodia’s dominant coastal province – is positioned for future growth as the country’s principal gateway onto the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and global trade routes. It is set to be modelled after the high successful Shenzen development master plan which turned backwaters near the Hong Kong border into a bustling metropolis.

 

Urban planning is also taking a step forward, with the involvement of Chinese city planners from Shenzhen. Sihanoukville sits at the crossroads of multiple major infrastructure initiatives, including China’s ambitious One-Belt-One-Road project and the Greater Mekong Sub-region Economic Corridors southern route.

 

The model of Shenzhen from being a small fishing port on mainland China 40 years ago to being a huge high-tech industrial city today, has been widely lauded as offering a blueprint for Preah Sihanouk’s development and in this vein the government has employed. The Urban Planning and Design Institute of Shenzhen has developed a master plan for Sihanoukville province to emulate Shenzen.

I like Shenzhen a lot, but this sounds awful.  It would be better to do this near Phnom Penh.  Snooky was nice.

It was successful because it was next to Hong Kong~Cambodia is not next to anything of such value.  Cambodia has no expertise, and no real value~except agriculture land, wood...

It's kind of funny that they are bought off, and China is doing to Cambodia exactly what Cambodia does to its own people.
