Exodus
Exodus
Just got back from Koh Touch/ Koh Rong (no i am not a soap dodger) & 1 of the the local eateries told us that they are also on the Chinese menu. Got me thinking what all those families are going to do for a living. With the development of sinville & rising rentals will they also have to move to Kampot, it's their home but i can't see how many of them can stay there, even the beggars will be cleared from the beaches.
These casinos & hotels are saturating the market & don't seem sustainable, Annie the beach merchant laughed & said that 1 restaurant at the end of Ochheuteal Beach is being leased for $3500 per month but i haven't spotted a single China-man in there yet, she gives this boom 5 years but there will be a lot of damage to the lower social economics in the mean time. Isn't there a law that states that any business must be beneficial to the Cambodian people regarding employment, looks like another Chinese ghost town scheme to me.

Chinese investment in prime Cambodian real estate has barely begun and will continue at an even faster pace. Those ghost cities in China are gradually filling up just as planned, and the Chinese-owned places in SHV will too. Reports of ghost cities were short-sighted and overhyped. Those conditions, while true, were/are temporary. The Chinese rightly take a long view of such things. And low cost Chinese airlines are only just now starting to make direct flights from second tier Chinese cities to here. SHV was just among the first. Kampot, Kep and Koh Kong will be on their radar very soon. These places will be the Chinese equivalents of Cancun or Acapulco for Americans...their favored warm weather vacation spots for the masses.
As for the poor locals getting pushed out, of course they will be. They never had a chance, because nobody in their government advocates for them. Nothing new here, and not just in third world countries.

Perhaps, but I think you could say the same about many western countries, just the way variesYobbo wrote:Hmmm, Cambodians have a history of being fu%ked over by their own people
- try buying a house in the UK
- try going to university in the States or getting by with just one job
- try starting a small business (restaurant, for example) in any western country compared to here
In all these examples, the western states did it to their own people
I did warn you six months ago.
I translated one of the meetings. Like it or lump it, the Chinese are coming.

Warned us a whole 6 months ago did ya? A regular Nostradamus you are. Most of us saw this trend developing many years ago. It's been pretty fucking obvious.Pu Li wrote:I did warn you six months ago.

Many people do quite well starting small businesses in the Western countries. That’s one of the primary reasons why so many people get on rickety boats and make dangerous journeys across borders to try to immigrate to the USA, Canada, Australia, and the EU, not Cambodia.son of vladimir wrote:Perhaps, but I think you could say the same about many western countries, just the way variesYobbo wrote:Hmmm, Cambodians have a history of being fu%ked over by their own people

The USA has great low cost public universities, private universities have endowments that cover financial aid to many students, and the government subsidizes low rate student loans. I don’t think the higher education system is better in Cambodia or China, the flow of exchange students is mostly from East to West not West to East.
Stick to criticizing the proliferation of guns in the USA, because when you argue that it’s a bad country for entrepreneurs and people who want a good higher education, you appear to be quite unknowledgeable.

But you weren't at the Asean meeting watching policy being written were you? Or I'm sure we'd have met, then you could have told me how clever you are.
So do tell what happens next?
Ah, it was at an ASEAN meeting just 6 months that the official policy was written proclaiming "The Chinese are coming" was it?Pu Li wrote:Good for you squire.Edwardo wrote:Warned us a whole 6 months ago did ya?

What happens next is you continue being a fucking prat with nothing to add yet lamely pretending to be "in the know". Now regale us with more keen-eyed insider information from 6 months ago of things that have been obviously occurring for years.

How much capital would you need in NY or LA compared with Bangkok or Phnom Penh? So what percentage of people could afford it in both countries? Pretty sure in SE Asia, more than 50%...
Boat people/illegal immigrants choose the nearest land mass which won't be too stringent in repatriating them...kind of difficult for a Cuban/Mexican to head to Scandinavia...
Yeah, that's why so many Murikans bitch about the cost of university and the debt it saddles them with, right?

Guess the guy at the Guardian is also ignorant?
https://www.theguardian.com/money/student-debt-us
Or maybe this article, an dhundreds like it, was written to laud the affordable education?
http://www.valuecolleges.com/collegecosts/
From those ignorant sods at wikipedia:
'Many factors are accountable for student debt. The growing problem of student debt has become more prominent in the past decade, inspiring numerous documentaries that examine the causes and effects. One factor is due to the new guidelines developed by the federal government. There are now new rules deciding who can borrow, as well as how much debt they can take on.[3] Colleges and universities have been increasing the costs for students to attend their schools subsequently increasing the amount of debt these students take on as student loans. Reports have shown that borrowers who finished college in the early 1990s were able to maintain managing their student loans without an enormous burden.[3] The average debt has increased 58% since over the past seven years. The debt for students in the United States has risen from $17,233 in 2005 to $27,253 in 2012.[4] Some blame the economy for the debt increases, but in the same 7-year period credit card debt and auto debt have decreased.[4] According to the Student Debt Crisis, within the past three decades the cost of attaining a college degree has drastically increased by more than 1,000 percent.[5] If student debt had stayed constant with inflation since 1992, graduates would not be facing such burdens by student loans'
From the ignorant at Financial Times, the UK is also in on the act:

Perhaps you should educate them, gavinmac.
