Sihanoukville - no in or out
Just saw on Khmer Times
From today onward until further notice, people will not be allowed to enter or leave Sihanoukville, as the authorities are trying to curb the COVID-19 outbreak in the coastal city, which by now has reached an alarming stage.

Here is the article Violet is referring to:

But, how bizarre, there was another article before the above announcement, early in the morning, that said the opposite... So now the authorities must grapple with one another...

I'm not going out to the highway to see...
Maybe one can sneak through the port road past the oil terminal and get to the main highway that way? Hope so, because a friend from Kep is in town visiting pals and wants to go home tomorrow!

So, anybody willing to make a bet when Phnom Penh follows? How will they enforce this ban? These Chinaman are not the most compliant nationality in the Kingdom....

In their own country they are extremely compliant, no?
Is it once they get out of the home country they go wild with all the freedom?
Or is my idea of China completely wrong?
Yes, I think wrong really. They are an anarchic bunch and will stand up and fight the security forces with insane bravery.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 5:26 pm

After many years in and out of China I concluded: they need this horrible system to control them.

Rob is right. I think they are naturally anti-establishment and independent - you can just see that by their behaviour once out of the country on those awful organised trips for example.
My view is that they have a faustian pact with the authorities. The CCP and state has managed to boost their income and living standards, and in return the locals shut the fuck up back home. Should the authorities slip up on the economic side, the whole sorry house will come tumbling down.

I feel you're right in a sense, but it's the system that helped make them this way. The old moral code was wiped away and replaced with communism. Then communism was all but wiped away, creating a moral vacuum, allowing for the shameless individualism we see today. I also can't help but think that the one-child policy, and the habit of leaving children with their grandparents for months on end, also has something to do with it.RobW wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 5:38 pmAfter many years in and out of China I concluded: they need this horrible system to control them.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 5:26 pm

I suggest you read Han Su Yin's absolutely amazing autobiographical trilogy -- and a history of modern China: "A Crippled Tree," "A Mortal Flower," and "Birdless Summer" ...Starving Pelican wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 9:59 amI feel you're right in a sense, but it's the system that helped make them this way.

...hmmm, there was no old moral code, unless you are referring to Confucianism..? But it was always a fusty thing that had more to do with government bureaucracies than the advent of Capitalism in China... Communism arose against the descent and corruption of the "old codes?" following the brutal English colony, which forced the Chinese to buy opium for more than a century, lol... The local Chinese capitalism came after English colonialism, etc, etc... Before communism, a very few wealthy Chinese lived in the cities, and many millions of peasants were starving everywhere else, especially in the 1920s... And long long before the English, the Chinese were Capitalists, too... They invented printed money hundreds of years before the West...
Enjoy, Han Su Yin wrote one of the best histories of the last century, and she should have been awarded the Nobel prize, but was generally ignored by the West... I wonder why?

Here’s a classic piece of Shitsville twatflannery that I cut out of the Cambodia Daily years ago and framed. It’s travelled with me everywhere and is now hanging in OZ .
