geovalin Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The highway runs through the forest like a black ribbon, down to the sea and to what must be one of the world's largest tourism projects. Fifteen years after it began, there is still not much to see of the Dara Sakor Seashore Resort in southern Cambodia. It is a grandiose scheme by a Chinese company to build a self-contained tourist city. A Chinese colony, some have called it a venue for "feasting and revelry", according to the company, complete with international airport, deep-sea port, power stations, hospitals, casinos and luxury villas. The airport is still unfinished. A single casino, with an attached five-star hotel and apartments, sits alone near the sea, fronted by an unmade road, and surrounded by a construction site. As a tourist business it has barely got started. But it has already had a damaging impact on one of Asia's richest natural environments, and on the thousands of people who live there. China's economic footprint in Cambodia now dwarfs that of any other country. It provides half of all direct investment and most of its foreign aid. read more https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66851049 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my friend I Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 They wrecked that area to build then nothing. Not the only place but possibly the worst damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 4 hours ago, my friend I said: They wrecked that area to build then nothing. Not the only place but possibly the worst damage. The Chinese have committed these atrocities in their own country and are now doing in other countries corrupt enough to let it happen. In Cambodia they destroyed Sihanoukville and now Dara Sakor. Sri Lanka and Pakistan are also victims of Chinese greed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my friend I Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 All The National Parks were wonderful places. Slowly going to nothing. Even Bokor is being wrecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
