Gambling: Chinese and Cambodia

gambling: The number of those who returned back to China from Cambodia recently is about 3,000 to 5,000, Lin Jiaxu, a People's Daily reporter based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, told the Global Times on Wednesday, and most of them were driven out by the countries' online gambling ban, according to Global Times China. Foreign media reported that tens of thousands of Chinese nationals were leaving Cambodia following a government ban on online gambling intended to reduce the number of crimes committed by foreigners. Photo by Li Lay/Xinhua Chinese observer dismissed rumors that about 100,000 Chinese left Cambodia in seven days as the country clamped down on illegal gambling. That number was exaggerated, Lin asserted. In recent years many Chinese people have invested in Sihanoukville, stimulating local consumption and economic growth. The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia could not be reached at press time. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
