A Chinese businessman who frequented Westport and China told the Angkor Times reporter that every time the passengers coming from China were full of passengers, the flight back to China was only about 70% full.”It is estimated that the average number of Chinese in Westport will increase by 10,000 a month, and may exceed 300,000 by the end of the year.” The Chinese businessman said.
The number of people in Westport has soared and the urban infrastructure has not kept up, which has also brought about a series of problems. House prices and basic prices soared, often no water, power outages, a heavy rain on the city flooded, traffic jams, leading to public complaints.In order to reduce costs and risks, some spinach owners in Westport have began to shift their business locations.
In addition to Poipet and Bavet, other provinces such as Kampot, Tbong Khmum, Pursat, Odar Meanchey and Kampong Cham, etc. are waiting for the spinach gardens to become operational. iem Reap has clearly stated that it is forbidden to build casinos. And, according to its agreement with the government, it is forbidden to build a casino within 200 kilometers of Naga in Phnom Penh.
Former Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Xiong Bo publicly stated last year that the Chinese government is opposed to its citizens operating casinos in Cambodia, especially those that specialize to Chinese gamblers. However, a person who wants to be anonymous told the Angkor Times reporter that a very powerful local rich man is preparing to invest in a new spinach garden outside the hot spots. “It will be the largest in Cambodia.”
