On the list of wealthy businessmen in Cambodia, almost all of the top ten are Chinese, and they are also Chinese who have returned to Cambodia from abroad. This is because under Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge rule, the rich were wiped out.
Some merchants fled to foreign countries, but they did not develop. When Hun Sen came to power, they returned to Cambodia and took advantage of business opportunities to make a lot of money.
The most famous of the wealthy Chinese businessmen in Cambodia are Duke Chen Fengming, the head of the Royal Group, and Duke Chen Zhi, the boss of the Prince Group. The deeds of these two Chinese merchant dukes have been detailed in my article a few days ago, so I will not repeat them here.
One of them is Prime Minister Hun Sen's personal adviser and the other is a loyal supporter of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Take a look at this news:
His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia issued a royal decree appointing 104 people, including Duke Fang Qiaosheng, Duke Li Yongfa, His Excellency Yang Zongxun and Duke Li Kuntai, as advisers to the new Prime Minister Hun Mane.
All four were Chinese, and at least three were businessmen. Why did the new Prime Minister Hun Manet ask businessmen to be advisers?What advice can a businessman give to a new prime minister on how to govern the country?
Everyone knows what kind of place Cambodia is, and I am afraid that few people can make a fortune in a proper way. In a place where there are no rules, those who get rich rely on means without rules. Some tycoons also colluded with **, with the help of the power of officials, to forcibly occupy land and demolish people's houses.
There are many Chinese in Cambodia's telefraud parks, which has seriously damaged the image of Chinese in the local area. And these wealthy Chinese businessmen, cooperating with ** and making a fortune, is it really beneficial to the Chinese?Did it also affect the prestige of the Chinese in Cambodia?
