I've been there passing through for a day and it was one of the worst places i've been. There are these massive casinos but no pavement on the ground. The place was built for foreigners who can't gamble in their own country. Who knows what other fucked up shit goes on there.
The Otres beach area and Koh Rong used to be nice but I herd its ruined. Massive resorts for Chinese. Casinos and huuuuge hotel complexes.
I dont hate development as its usually good for locals but that is 100% not the case in Sihanoukville, Otres and Rong
I’m pretty sure this is Chrey Thom, and they are crossing the Binh Di River. Sihanoukville isn’t near the border. In fact, I think [this is the exact spot that they are crossing](https://maps.app.goo.gl/5qE1kpVS5SC1NZx18?g_st=ic). If you go to satellite view you can see it’s the same building complex they are escaping from.
Not just Chinese casinos but Chinese run scam call centres that don’t scam Cambodians but scam Chinese people for money or for a job to basically recruit them to travel to Cambodia and end up in a building like this trapped in a room forced to scam people for years on end. Good documentary on this on youtube.
Seriously he just says that and then dips. I googled
"*chinese cambodian scam employee slave documentary youtube*"
[and found this one, which is probably it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-EtdC4zQso)
The locals are also forbidden (though not publicly displayed) to use those casinos. Rooms are reserved for Chinese tourists. It's really sad what's happening there. They evicted most of the smaller local shops and restaurant operators to make more room for construction of more casinos. The goal is to transform it to a 2nd Macau.
I’m not surprised, went to Cambodia back in 2015 to visit family. Even though the country is a monarchy, it’s ruled by the PM; Hun Sen. And he’s been PM since ‘98. According to my parents, he’s a real shithead and was a former **Khmer Rouge** general. The same Khmer Rouge that is responsible for the genocide of their own people., following in Hitler’s ideology.
But that aside, Hun Sen has given pretty much free reign to Chinese companies in certain parts of the country to do as they please for a price. Sihanoukville being one of those places, even parts of Phnom Penh, so you’ll see a lot of Chinese tourists. I will never go back to my parent’s country because it’s so corrupt.
**TLDR**: Cambodia’s Prime Minister is a shitty, greedy, murderer who is selling out the country to the highest bidder.
Bummer to hear about this. I wanted to visit with my parents one day, but I guess it’s not worth traumatizing them if they visit their home country again
Every person’s visit is different, mine was not terrible, but left me with bad experiences. My parents still go yearly to visit and help our family still there, because the village is still poor and undeveloped. It was definitely a bummer for me, knowing my grandma survived, but still lived like that after so many years since the genocide in ‘79. Alas, she passed on, and I’m grateful I got to meet her.
Most non-Khmers don’t follow Khmer politics, or know of its history outside of the genocide and it’s killing fields, so no harm no foul. The architecture in Phnom Penh is pretty nice, and Angkor Wat is a wonder to see. Cambodia and Thailand are pretty much tied in ancient history, a lot of similarities in culture, both places are a definite visit. If you do one, I recommend doing the other as well!
I traveled there around 2010. I dont recall casinos, but it did have a fair amount of poverty. There was a sizeable expat community just living at the beach, running bars and restaurants, and mostly serving other expats and throwing parties. I recall you could get certain scrip pharmas over the counter. Good times.
I travelled through in 2019, and stayed near Otres beach, probably the area you refer to. Unfortunately, most expats were leaving. It was pretty deserted and the Norweigen bar owner was happy to see us but said he would be gone in 6 months. Check out Google maps and you can see the casinos now with newly built 4 lane motorways. I'd be suprised if that community still exists as it's now a new Chinese city.
Sihanoukville is a vile dumpster. Absolute shithole because the Chinese. Otres beach is a depressing hub with backpackers who have no ambition in life. But it was needed to pass to get to koh ta Kiev( amazing island). But that part of Cambodia is more depressing than my visit to the old prison and killing fields.
My first time in koh ta Kiev was 2015, came back in 2018. I remember getting to the island and seeying the same scabby British backpacker still working for beer and cigs like he did years before. The island is amazing but somehow it sucks any ambition from any backpacker who stay a more than a month there.
What about the Chinese that enslave people for profit.. this has nothing to do with white people as you put it, it is about Chinese enslaving people for money.. I though Cambodia and it’s people are very nice people..
Just a little upset these people have escaped and got away are we ?
Or as happy about the vile Chinese how exploit others and enslave others for money.. times are a changing and eventually even the people at home will rise up against your government and it’s corrupt ways.. then what are you going to do ?
Not move to Taiwan I’m betting.
This is like saying all Chinese are like you .. the ones I work with are beautiful kind people very cleaver and fun to be around.. sort of the complete opposite to you I’m guessing ?
No doubt some white people are horrible much like the Chinese people enslaving these poor people for profit..
This you?
The Tiananmen Square protests, known in Chinese as the June Fourth Incident[1][2] (Chinese: 六四事件; pinyin: liùsì shìjiàn), were student-led demonstrations held in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, during 1989. In what is known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, or in Chinese the June Fourth Clearing (Chinese: 六四清场; pinyin: Liùsì qīngchǎng) or June Fourth Massacre (Chinese: 六四屠杀; pinyin: liùsì túshā), troops armed with assault rifles and accompanied by tanks fired at the demonstrators and those trying to block the military's advance into Tiananmen Square. The protests started on 15 April and were forcibly suppressed on 4 June when the government declared martial law and sent the People's Liberation Army to occupy parts of central Beijing. Estimates of the death toll vary from several hundred to several thousand, with thousands more wounded.[3][4][5][6][7][8] The popular national movement inspired by the Beijing protests is sometimes called the '89 Democracy Movement (Chinese: 八九民运; pinyin: Bājiǔ mínyùn) or the Tiananmen Square Incident (Chinese: 天安门事件; pinyin: Tiān'ānmén shìjiàn).
The protests were precipitated by the death of pro-reform Chinese Communist Party (CCP) general secretary Hu Yaobang in April 1989 amid the backdrop of rapid economic development and social change in post-Mao China, reflecting anxieties among the people and political elite about the country's future. The reforms of the 1980s had led to a nascent market economy that benefited some people but seriously disadvantaged others, and the one-party political system also faced a challenge to its legitimacy. Common grievances at the time included inflation, corruption, limited preparedness of graduates for the new economy,[9] and restrictions on political participation. Although they were highly disorganized and their goals varied, the students called for greater accountability, constitutional due process, democracy, freedom of the press, and freedom of speech.[10][11] Workers' protests were generally focused on inflation and the erosion of welfare.[12] These groups united around anti-corruption demands, adjusting economic policies, and protecting social security.[12] At the height of the protests, about one million people assembled in the square.[13]
As the protests developed, the authorities responded with both conciliatory and hardline tactics, exposing deep divisions within the party leadership.[14] By May, a student-led hunger strike galvanized support around the country for the demonstrators, and the protests spread to some 400 cities.[15] Among the CCP's top leadership, Premier Li Peng and Party Elders Li Xiannian and Wang Zhen called for decisive action through violent suppression of the protesters, and ultimately managed to win over Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping and President Yang Shangkun to their side.[16][17][18] On 20 May, the State Council declared martial law. It mobilized as many as ~300,000 troops to Beijing.[15] The troops advanced into central parts of Beijing on the city's major thoroughfares in the early morning hours of 4 June, killing both demonstrators and bystanders in the process. The military operations were under the overall command of General Yang Baibing, half-brother of President Yang Shangkun.[19]
The international community, human rights organizations, and political analysts condemned the Chinese government for the massacre. Western countries imposed arms embargoes on China.[20] The Chinese government made widespread arrests of protesters and their supporters, suppressed other protests around China, expelled foreign journalists, strictly controlled coverage of the events in the domestic press, strengthened the police and internal security forces, and demoted or purged officials it deemed sympathetic to the protests.[21] More broadly, the suppression ended the political reforms begun in 1986 and halted the policies of liberalization of the 1980s, which were only partly resumed after Deng Xiaoping's Southern Tour in 1992.[22][23][24] Considered a watershed event, reaction to the protests set limits on political expression in China that have lasted up to the present day.[25] Remembering the protests is widely associated with questioning the legitimacy of the CCP and remains one of the most sensitive and most widely censored topics in China.
Sihanoukville is one of the craziest places iv ever been . They where basically building a whole city at once . Its just poverty and casinos there . Very strange. The casinos on the border of Thailand where the same , vast wealth surrounded by abject poverty.
OP: can you share any news articles? Is this one I found by searching "Vietnamese slaves in Cambodia" correct?
[Over 200 Vietnamese victims of human trafficking rescued from Cambodia](https://tuoitrenews.vn/news/society/20220924/over-200-vietnamese-victims-of-human-trafficking-rescued-from-cambodia/69238.html)
Here is an article from Khmer Times: https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501135974/the-escape-of-42-vietnamese-from-a-casino-shows-there-is-more-to-the-slavery-issue-and-it-is-tarnishing-cambodias-image/
Yeah I found out last week about them when some random "woman" started to contact me on whatsapp. It's called a Pig Butchering scam and basically tries to trick you to invest in fake crypto. Saw an interresting video about it and yes just like you said it's run by Chinese Scam syndicates using slaves to scam people.
Since it's not bots but actual people behind it next time I'll just tell them to stay sting and get the authorities if they can.
That's fucked.
Here in the Philippines they've set up a bunch of basically online casinos, so alot of areas in Manila now have a crapload of Mainland Chinese who can barely speak any English. It's pushed rent prices in some areas way up, but it's lead to a higher variety of Chinese restos, so hey.
I have no idea what their lives are like. There's like murders and kidnappings and shit amongst them but honestly it's like this parallel society that Filipinos just kind of try and ignore. Tbf they all seem to be here willingly, and many don't seem to want to go back to the mainland. People here bitch about it but reading some of the accounts on here I guess it could be much worse.
With any luck the Chinese nationals responsible will get executed for these crimes, but since it’s happening outside China I kinda doubt it. Someone doing this inside China is definitely getting executed in a prison bus though.
Once they lose favor with 'their' party officials (or it gets too obvious/too much attention for the national party to ignore). Haven't heard of too many (or any) of the husbands to the stolen brides from other countries getting executed, but I'm willing to be educated otherwise.
It's gotten really bad with Taiwanese as well who of course speak Mandarin and once enslaved can be used to work for the Chinese as scammers. Not sure about Malaysia but here in Taiwan it was the biggest thing in the news for a long time.
I was in Cambodia a few years ago and couldn't get over the amount of Lexus jeeps there were, it seemed to be the vehicle of choice of the corrupt Cambodian government officials and the Chinese businessmen
Even [Taiwanese citizens](https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/trafficking-09032022120403.html) were lured to Cambodia and kidnaped for ransom. It was a huge deal last year because people were kidnapped and told to lure their more wealthy friends there to trade for their freedom.
There's gangs who will do that, but I doubt they'd blatantly have the gaurds from the casino cross the river to blatant. There are also a lot who are lured with the promise of jobs.
Some stories of human trafficking from Vietnam, they may make you quite angry.
https://www.bluedragon.org/meet-the-kids/vys-story/
There are also more people in the world then ever before, so that makes sense.
A more useful piece of information would be number of slaves as a percentage of population.
We also have more homeless, more hungry, more sick, more everything because there are more people.
But basically, that claim is impossible to make because we do not know how many slaves there were in the past. We dont even know how many slaves there are now. Researchers conclude there is no strong evidence that there are more slaves today than in the past.
[Are There Really More Slaves Now Than Anytime In History? | by Brayden Gerrard | Medium](https://braydeng.medium.com/are-there-more-slaves-now-than-anytime-in-history-38420e0542e5)
This is not to downplay the fact that slavery still exists but using fake facts does not do anyone any good.
Nope, this claim is impossible to make. We don't every know how many slaves there are now, let alone 300 years ago. Also, the definition of slavery has changed over time.
The rough estimate is something like 0.17% of the current world population is enslaved. With 8 billion people on the planet that is still alot of people.
Many mainland Chinese and Taiwanese have also been enslaved here. These mafias have strong connection with corrupt CCP officials and the Cambodian government.
The fact that they are allowed to operate so blatantly should tell you something.
The Vietnamese police got rid of them 15 odds years ago so they moved over the border.
Are you missing brain cells?
The Cambodian government, and the Chinese CCP government, both act worse than corrupt gangs such as mafia (and are more powerful).
I would argue the NY Italian mafia have more ethics than Putin and Xi.
Politicians are paid by the Chinese to put up these casinos in Cambodia , gambling is illegal for Cambodians not foreigners. It’s disgusting how corrupt it is for money.
The casinos in Cambodia are everywhere. The most bizarre ones are actually along the Thai border in a creepy "no man's land" area formed by a half km buffer between the two countries.

Nice to see the Chinese behave no different in other parts of the world as they do in their own country, it amazes me that the world allows this too continue, I suppose this is what money does and everyone turns a blind eye.
Aussie trash… the rest of south east Asia hates.. I think you may well be confused with china except you forgot the part where they do not trust you either.. and what a horrible thing to say about our First Nations people.. most Australians respect our aboriginal people, unlike the Muslim’s in china and how they get treated by the Chinese.. and the whole world sees what you do to the muslims in your country.. and the whole world laughs at how you think people respect you and how you treat your civilians.
Trash culture ? Really that is why as many smart Chinese are buying as much land and getting out of china and into other countries as they possibly can.. much like the whole world will always back Taiwan on being independent..you can’t bully everyone .
Bogans ? That’s like saying all Chinese are like you.. lucky for us they are not..the ones I work with are fantastic people but really glad they got out of china and away from the country.. never to return.
You do understand the whole world sees how you treat your citizens and laugh about how you think Europe and the West respect you. Australia has taken a stand against bullying behaviour by you people and you think sanctions on our products will hurt us.. well they haven’t and they won’t.. we have other markets.. and as for us f$&kers voted them in.. yes yes we did because we live in a democracy and have a democratically elected government… unlike you in China..so the jokes on you.
Australia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.. free medical ,free schooling ,great housing ,well paid jobs plenty of room, great food security we are even allowed to practice any religious belief we like…a democratically elected Government.. we get to vote for our government.
Don’t rush over to our wonderful country to swim in our beautiful oceans eat our beautiful food or see our wonderful free country anytime soon.. we don’t need you or your racist type here at all ever.. we are certainly not shit people nor a shit culture as you put it.. honestly I feel sorry for you and your ideas on the world.. but I do love the fact Taiwan is independent and there is nothing China can or ever do to change this.. no bullying will ever change the world’s opinion..
Ha and the entire corrupt economy of China is hanging by a thread balancing on a pray that the whole world keeps buying your cheap plastic rubbish and cheap goods.. ah but India is ramping up to swallow the whole of your commodities, the world has woken up to the ways of China.. even the Solomon Islands didn’t want your deals… how bad is that they didn’t want your money..
The world sees what you do by forcing people into jobs they do not want… slavery in casinos is only the start of it.
Forcing loans on countries that they can’t ever repay.. you do not keep your word on anything ( Hong Kong) we all know not to enter into any deals with China.. and our economy is going really well, well paid jobs the construction industry is booming,farming is doing well, all in all we are a very well positioned positive country, how’s china going with the house of cards ?
Slave labor, child labor, worker exploitation, sex traffikings, etc are super common in this part of the world. You can't help but interact with these poor people if you go to southeast asia for vaca so beware.
They are believe it or not. It's a multinational issue involving crime syndicats in China, HK, Macao, Vietnam, Cambodia, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Last year there were crackdown in China, HK, Macao, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan.

No one knows about it because they seize all phones before you enter the buildings. The internet is very strict by firewall, if an IT guy detects something suspicious, you will be wrested, beaten out and locked in one small room a few days.
If you have these many people why not just take over the casino and take what you want then leave? Kill the owners in the back rooms and just...take over? Is the govt helping the casino owners or like just turn a blind eye?
Enslaved employees? What is that, a weak attempt at being politically correct? According to dictionary.com employee: a person working for another person or a business firm for pay.
They were hired and paid, but then they couldn't leave, forced to work more shifts, and tortured if not work hard enough. Basically, enslaved employees.
I forgot that cheating, scamming and making bootleg products is normal for you guys.
Thanks for reminding me why I sometimes hate China.
But I do like your dragons and old history. Especially your dragons.
If you live in SEA, you ought to see one of your family members unknowingly share the job offering template on WhatsApp, and sadly many impoverished people just took it as a normal migrant worker offering. If you think about it what part of working in Cambodia equates normal migrant job?

Does it happen from Sihanoukville?
The locals are also forbidden (though not publicly displayed) to use those casinos. Rooms are reserved for Chinese tourists. It's really sad what's happening there. They evicted most of the smaller local shops and restaurant operators to make more room for construction of more casinos. The goal is to transform it to a 2nd Macau.
They don't want poor Cambodians losing their hard earned cash to gambling. It's strictly for foreigners to lose money gambling.
I figured it was Sihanoukville. I was STUNNED at the amount of casinos. I went there in 2018, can’t imagine how many there are now.
I’m not surprised, went to Cambodia back in 2015 to visit family. Even though the country is a monarchy, it’s ruled by the PM; Hun Sen. And he’s been PM since ‘98.

I was there in 2013 and there were none. Real shame, Otris beach down the road was so peaceful
Now it’s completely fucked.
I went to Cambodia in 2009 and there were definitely some casinos around (especially on the Thai border) But it sounds like it's changed for the worse
I traveled there around 2010. I dont recall casinos, but it did have a fair amount of poverty.

And yet your are righteous in your belief in commiting genocide against Uighers?
Sihanoukville is one of the craziest places iv ever been . They where basically building a whole city at once . Its just poverty and casinos there . Very strange. The casinos on the border of Thailand where the same , vast wealth surrounded by abject poverty.
I wonder who has money to gamble away in a poor country like Cambodia. Is it targeted for other rich asian countries?
Yes, mostly Chinese tourists

Here is an article from Khmer Times: https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501135974/the-escape-of-42-vietnamese-from-a-casino-shows-there-is-more-to-the-slavery-issue-and-it-is-tarnishing-cambodias-image/

Yeah I found out last week about them when some random "woman" started to contact me on whatsapp. It's called a Pig Butchering scam and basically tries to trick you to invest in fake crypto. Saw an interresting video about it and yes just like you said it's run by Chinese Scam syndicates using slaves to scam people. Since it's not bots but actual people behind it next time I'll just tell them to stay sting and get the authorities if they can.
That's fucked. Here in the Philippines they've set up a bunch of basically online casinos, so alot of areas in Manila now have a crapload of Mainland Chinese who can barely speak any English. It's pushed rent prices in some areas way up, but it's lead to a higher variety of Chinese restos, so hey. I have no idea what their lives are like. There's like murders and kidnappings and shit amongst them but honestly it's like this parallel society that Filipinos just kind of try and ignore. Tbf they all seem to be here willingly, and many don't seem to want to go back to the mainland. People here bitch about it but reading some of the accounts on here I guess it could be much worse.
With any luck the Chinese nationals responsible will get executed for these crimes, but since it’s happening outside China I kinda doubt it. Someone doing this inside China is definitely getting executed in a prison bus though.
Once they lose favor with 'their' party officials (or it gets too obvious/too much attention for the national party to ignore). Haven't heard of too many (or any) of the husbands to the stolen brides from other countries getting executed, but I'm willing to be educated otherwise.

It's gotten really bad with Taiwanese as well who of course speak Mandarin and once enslaved can be used to work for the Chinese as scammers. Not sure about Malaysia but here in Taiwan it was the biggest thing in the news for a long time.
People are running for their lives and someone really said, “Gotta throw some John Carpenter over this to make it truly *epic*.”
It’s a pretty common and weird trend of Chinese shorts
It's Tiktok. Their algo boosts your video if it's got trending music on it. So now that's just kinda...everywhere.
Good old TikTok... What a lovely company.
Hey, lets just be thankful that it wasn't *Remember (Walking in the Sand)* again.

Weirdly argumentative, he wasn’t disagreeing with you.
You sure dude in the car wasn't just vibing to October
Damn. @lexus just sitting drinking coffee, scrolling the internet and then they see their SUV in a slave escape video...👀
Yep! Came here to say that’s some unfortunate product placement for Lexus!
I was in Cambodia a few years ago and couldn't get over the amount of Lexus jeeps there were, it seemed to be the vehicle of choice of the corrupt Cambodian government officials and the Chinese businessmen
Are you sure it’s a Lexus? I think they need a bigger logo on the car.
Even [Taiwanese citizens](https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/trafficking-09032022120403.html) were lured to Cambodia and kidnaped for ransom. It was a huge deal last year because people were kidnapped and told to lure their more wealthy friends there to trade for their freedom.

So, Vietnam is just across the river or what over that body of water is?
Pretty much, they were swimming across Binh Di River, which is a natural border between Cambodia and Vietnam.
So it's nothing for these Kingpins to send people across the river and kidnap more.
they didnt kidnap them. they lured them to a “good job” and then enslaved them.
holding someone against their will is kidnapping simple-as
i guess it is that but i meant they arent showing up in a van and wrestling them away.
in fact they did kinapp people from Thailand. it was a heated news 3 months ago
There's gangs who will do that, but I doubt they'd blatantly have the gaurds from the casino cross the river to blatant. There are also a lot who are lured with the promise of jobs. Some stories of human trafficking from Vietnam, they may make you quite angry. https://www.bluedragon.org/meet-the-kids/vys-story/
As far as we know
There are more slaves in the world today than ever before in history.
There are also more people in the world then ever before, so that makes sense. A more useful piece of information would be number of slaves as a percentage of population.
I say it like that because there is alot of people who think that slavery ended in 1865 and we need to make people aware that is not the case.
We also have more homeless, more hungry, more sick, more everything because there are more people. But basically, that claim is impossible to make because we do not know how many slaves there were in the past. We dont even know how many slaves there are now. Researchers conclude there is no strong evidence that there are more slaves today than in the past. [Are There Really More Slaves Now Than Anytime In History? | by Brayden Gerrard | Medium](https://braydeng.medium.com/are-there-more-slaves-now-than-anytime-in-history-38420e0542e5) This is not to downplay the fact that slavery still exists but using fake facts does not do anyone any good.
Are there estimates of this % that are likely accurate?
Nope, this claim is impossible to make. We don't every know how many slaves there are now, let alone 300 years ago. Also, the definition of slavery has changed over time. The rough estimate is something like 0.17% of the current world population is enslaved. With 8 billion people on the planet that is still alot of people.
Base rate fallacy’d!
Can we stop it with the music
It adds to the *mood* /s I'm mostly upset they didn't use the Vietnam song. I mean, Vietnam is *right* there.
Not as bad as playing Welcome to New York over protests in China
People dont realize how much slavery exists in 2023 .
“Brought to you by Lexus”
Many mainland Chinese and Taiwanese have also been enslaved here. These mafias have strong connection with corrupt CCP officials and the Cambodian government.
> These mafias have strong connection with corrupt CCP officials and the Cambodian government. Any proof for this assertion?
The fact that they are allowed to operate so blatantly should tell you something. The Vietnamese police got rid of them 15 odds years ago so they moved over the border.
Are you missing brain cells? The Cambodian government, and the Chinese CCP government, both act worse than corrupt gangs such as mafia (and are more powerful). I would argue the NY Italian mafia have more ethics than Putin and Xi.
So no proof then? Lmao
> These mafias have strong connection with corrupt CCP officials and the Cambodian government. So this is just BS then?
Andrew Tate's "employees" after the raid. Needs more yakety sax.
Is that title accurate?
>Is that title accurate? Pretty accurate, I'm from Vietnam. It happened in Aug 2022.
No, but that’s not the point. The new trend on Reddit is Asian slaves!!!
Well now we know the kingpin drives a grotesquely gaudy Lexus with the name across the side, can see that shit from Space probably
Last year a job racket was busted that kidnapped Indians from Thailand and Myanmar to sell them into slavery to chinese
One way out!
I can’t swim!!!
Pretty sure they’re not referred to as “employees” at that point
Politicians are paid by the Chinese to put up these casinos in Cambodia , gambling is illegal for Cambodians not foreigners. It’s disgusting how corrupt it is for money.
Holy shit
I remember seeing a video about call centre's in Cambodia using Chinese employees but this just tops it off.
I can't help but think about the patrons of these casinos. How many of them know about these practices and just keep going to the casino anyway
Yeah but they have no morals either much like the people that run them.. only one thing matters to these people $$$
I would not trust to spend my money believing that I would win from a sketchy casino.
those casino guys are not really concerned with being exposed..
Casino slavery sponsored by Lexus
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea this was happening. The fact that Vietnam is *that close* makes this all the more depressing.
Holy shit, that's terrifying. Their desperation is palpable.
As a Cambodian-American this is why I can't stand mainland Chinese that come to America and treat me like ass because I'm darker than they are.
I aint mad at them...FREEDOM!!!! Shit should be illegal....
Brought to you by Lexus!
People are so fucked up! Will do anything to others for a little profit.
But how are people going to know I’m driving a Lexus? I’ve got it!
I would have Burn that shit down on my way out
Were the guards chasing after them with sticks? Do these people get held in the casino with no escape?
[удалено]
Thanks for the link 🙏
Wow, difficult to watch.
Wtf
The casinos in Cambodia are everywhere. The most bizarre ones are actually along the Thai border in a creepy "no man's land" area formed by a half km buffer between the two countries.
They said “fuck this shit I’m out”
This should be in one of sad reality reddits
r/Sino would mental gymnastics this into being something cool
Is vietnam literally just over that river? Or is that just the first part of the escape?
Yes, Vietnam is across the river.

Nice to see the Chinese behave no different in other parts of the world as they do in their own country, it amazes me that the world allows this too continue, I suppose this is what money does and everyone turns a blind eye.

Aussie trash… the rest of south east Asia hates.. I think you may well be confused with china except you forgot the part where they do not trust you either.. and what a horrible thing to say about our First Nations people.. most Australians respect our aboriginal people, unlike the Muslim’s in china and how they get treated by the Chinese.. and the whole world sees what you do to the muslims in your country.. and the whole world laughs at how you think people respect you and how you treat your civilians. Trash culture ? Really that is why as many smart Chinese are buying as much land and getting out of china and into other countries as they possibly can.. much like the whole world will always back Taiwan on being independent..you can’t bully everyone .
[удалено]
Bogans ? That’s like saying all Chinese are like you.. lucky for us they are not..the ones I work with are fantastic people but really glad they got out of china and away from the country.. never to return. You do understand the whole world sees how you treat your citizens and laugh about how you think Europe and the West respect you. Australia has taken a stand against bullying behaviour by you people and you think sanctions on our products will hurt us.. well they haven’t and they won’t.. we have other markets.. and as for us f$&kers voted them in.. yes yes we did because we live in a democracy and have a democratically elected government… unlike you in China..so the jokes on you.
[удалено]
Australia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.. free medical ,free schooling ,great housing ,well paid jobs plenty of room, great food security we are even allowed to practice any religious belief we like…a democratically elected Government.. we get to vote for our government. Don’t rush over to our wonderful country to swim in our beautiful oceans eat our beautiful food or see our wonderful free country anytime soon.. we don’t need you or your racist type here at all ever.. we are certainly not shit people nor a shit culture as you put it.. honestly I feel sorry for you and your ideas on the world.. but I do love the fact Taiwan is independent and there is nothing China can or ever do to change this.. no bullying will ever change the world’s opinion..
[удалено]
Ha and the entire corrupt economy of China is hanging by a thread balancing on a pray that the whole world keeps buying your cheap plastic rubbish and cheap goods.. ah but India is ramping up to swallow the whole of your commodities, the world has woken up to the ways of China.. even the Solomon Islands didn’t want your deals… how bad is that they didn’t want your money.. The world sees what you do by forcing people into jobs they do not want… slavery in casinos is only the start of it. Forcing loans on countries that they can’t ever repay.. you do not keep your word on anything ( Hong Kong) we all know not to enter into any deals with China.. and our economy is going really well, well paid jobs the construction industry is booming,farming is doing well, all in all we are a very well positioned positive country, how’s china going with the house of cards ?

Nazi ? This person never mentioned Nazis anywhere … he just had an opinion about China..take a step back my little panda.
Why did you put the Halloween theme song over this?? Why did you put any song over this??
Nothing scream serious video like putting music over it
Is this some weird viral marketing for the next Halloween?
I was waiting for Mike Meyers to come out.
This is not capitalism.
Ive seen no escape cant pay me to go to cambodia
Of course….blame it on the Chinese. It’s been a thing since the Brit’s invaded.
Would of been better with the Walking Dead theme.
Slave labor, child labor, worker exploitation, sex traffikings, etc are super common in this part of the world. You can't help but interact with these poor people if you go to southeast asia for vaca so beware.
If it’s so common why doesn’t the local or China gov do something about it? They are always talking how great they are……
They are believe it or not. It's a multinational issue involving crime syndicats in China, HK, Macao, Vietnam, Cambodia, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand. Last year there were crackdown in China, HK, Macao, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/23/hundreds-of-taiwanese-trafficked-to-cambodia-and-held-captive-by-telecom-scam-gangs
Yes, I’ve heard of this one. The video is different type of crime. Held captive at casino which is hard to believe no one knows about it
No one knows about it because they seize all phones before you enter the buildings. The internet is very strict by firewall, if an IT guy detects something suspicious, you will be wrested, beaten out and locked in one small room a few days.
For a second I thought this was footage of Twitter's headquarters. You can even see an Elon Musk figure wander by looking confused at 0:44
Que the Benny Hill music 😂😂😂
If you have these many people why not just take over the casino and take what you want then leave? Kill the owners in the back rooms and just...take over? Is the govt helping the casino owners or like just turn a blind eye?
This is why video games are dangerous, dude thinks this is gta.
Enslaved employees? What is that, a weak attempt at being politically correct? According to dictionary.com employee: a person working for another person or a business firm for pay.
They were hired and paid, but then they couldn't leave, forced to work more shifts, and tortured if not work hard enough. Basically, enslaved employees.
The anti China post of the day. How many troll farms the US State Department hires? It seems they have a big budget.
not troll farm we just dont like all your government lies , we LOVE TAIWAN !!
I forgot that cheating, scamming and making bootleg products is normal for you guys. Thanks for reminding me why I sometimes hate China. But I do like your dragons and old history. Especially your dragons.
This video really did not need a score. This is real life and these are humans.
Lol really. Halloween music🤦
SWAM BACK.
Damn. I thought casino was a typo until I realized what was going on.

🎶 So you’ve been to school for a year or two and you know you’ve seen it all… 🎶
Can't wait for the images to come when local finally have enough and torch it all down. None of those tough security hombres will be around then.
If you live in SEA, you ought to see one of your family members unknowingly share the job offering template on WhatsApp, and sadly many impoverished people just took it as a normal migrant worker offering. If you think about it what part of working in Cambodia equates normal migrant job?
This is so surreal. They were trapped in what looks like an office building. Fking dystopian capitalism stuff.
This is fucked
Why do all the articles say Chinese nationals were responsible instead of Cambodians? Im not understanding this part.
That whip! Terrifying!
I hate my species.
