10,000 Chinese citizens flee Sihanoukville in days after Cambodian online gaming directive: report

An estimated 10,000 Chinese citizens have fled the Cambodian city of Sihanoukville in the space of a few days following a recently announced crackdown on online gambling operations, according to reports.

Citing various sources, the South China Morning Post stated on Thursday that the Sihanoukville exodus had seen one-way flights from the coastal casino hotspot back to China fully booked out, while around two-thirds of the Chinese population in Cambodia’s Vietnamese border town of Bavet had made the trek to Phnom Penh to prepare for a similar exit.
