https://www.theworldofchinese.com/2020/ ... luff-bust/When Richard, a Dutch businessman who asked to be identified only by his first name, arrived in Sihanoukville in 2006, there were no paved roads. The town was known for its coconut tree-lined beaches, cheap beer—and seedy Westerners.
Richard used to run small bungalows for backpackers on the city’s Serendipity Beach. “Back in the day, Serendipity Beach used to be sex tourists, drug addicts, and alcoholics,” he recalls. “They ran around like zombies and died of overdoses, jumping into empty swimming pools, or having heart attacks fucking young girls. I’ve seen everything.”
“Westerners are saying things about Chinese now, but come on, they left that place a shithole. I wasn’t sad when they pulled out those idiots and gave the Chinese a chance to make something of this place,” says Richard. “It was the best decision they ever made.”
They left that place a shithole
They left that place a shithole
Yes, I'm 100% sure that Richard is a real person who actually said that.
Chinese just can't do propaganda well.

The beaches were full of backpackers in 2006. Young people in their 20s mainly partying and enjoying life. There certainly was a seedy side but not at the beach. A place called bar blue or something, the road leading up to it was fucked up.

"They left that place a shithole". Bit of revised history here. They left they the shithole it had become when the invasion took place. I should know I lived there when it happened.
To be fair though...Shitsville always been a shithole of the highest order. Pretty much the birthplace of shit. Where shitstory started. The cradle of shitsilisation.

You know what a shit barometer is, Bubs? It measures the shit pressure in the air. You can feel it. Listen, Bubs. Hear that? Sounds of the whispering winds of shit.

Well they did leave shit behind literally in many ways, thats for sure. For example all the bungalows and bars at Otres were dumping their sewage straight to seajohnny lightning wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 12:41 am"They left that place a shithole".

And agree kind of with ricecakes. It was called shitsville way before the chinaman arrived.
It has been shitsville for a while now, now it's just even shittier.

He didn't make that distinction, and there have been paved roads in Sihanoukville since the Americans build the road to the port in the late 50s.When Richard, a Dutch businessman who asked to be identified only by his first name, arrived in Sihanoukville in 2006, there were no paved roads.
How many Turkish shootings were there? A negligible amount compared to Chinese ones.“And then, in ’09, the Turkish mobsters started coming, and they all started shooting each other.”
“When the people of Sihanoukville heard from the news that Chinese businessmen were coming, we felt good,”
