Since the inauguration of #China’s #BeltandRoadInitiative (#BRI) in 2013, the town of #Sihanoukville, the location of #Cambodia’s only #deepseaport, has received a massive #influx of #Chinese #immigrants. This increase has also been accompanied by an increase in #crimes associated with the Chinese #expatriate #community in the coastal town, which has become the center of dozens of Chinese-run #casinos. The issue of crime associated with this community has the potential to undermine #societal #cohesion in Cambodia. https://thediplomat.com/2022/07/the-social-costs-of-chinese-transnational-crime-in-sihanoukville/
