Chinese men and women murdered reveal the sadness of a foreign land Hundreds of thousands of Chinese stranded in Cambodia under the epidemic are like abandoned children

Two men and women of Chinese nationality were killed in an apartment in Cambodia recently. Police suspect that the two murderers were Chinese nationals who were acquainted with the deceased and had fled to Thailand. The incident has caused concern. Some local Chinese revealed that there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers, and some of them have not been paid for more than half a year due to the economic difficulties caused by the epidemic, and they are stranded in Cambodia due to the blockade policy of the mainland. In recent months, many Chinese workers have come to the Chinese embassy for help, but the Chinese government has ignored them and left them to fend for themselves. Local Chinese have been killing each other.

Xiao Bo, 38, and his girlfriend Cao, 23, were found dead in the morning of Tuesday after being abducted by two assailants armed with knives and short guns in an apartment in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. According to Cambodian police, the killers have fled to Thailand after the crime.

Mr. Jane, a local source, told this reporter that the latest statement from Cambodian police is that the two murderers have been locked up and may also be Chinese. He believes that in the past two years, hundreds of Chinese people have been killed there, mostly involving Chinese suspects, but most of these tragic cases have gone unnoticed.

Mr. Jane said: Today is the Deputy Inspector General of the National Police spokesman he has spoken about, locking two targets. Initially suspected that the two killers may be Chinese. Because the Chinese in this side of the Internet underground gambling, there are fraudulent type.

Mr. Jane also pointed out that this year, because of the epidemic, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of Chinese entering Cambodia, but over time, because of the lack of money and strict procedures to return home, resulting in their inability to return home, many people are trapped in the local, which is also a large number of Chinese desperate to take risks, but the target of the crime is the local compatriots.

Mr. Jane said: there are many Chinese living here, and they have many special projects are Chinese workers here. Many special projects are no longer available, and they have no way to continue working and get income. So, they just want to go home and they are facing problems. We have no way of knowing about some of the policies of the Chinese government.

Another media person, Mr. Tu, who is in Phnom Penh, pointed out that after the outbreak of the epidemic this year, Chinese people who came to work in Cambodia first had to go through a quarantine of fees from the Cambodian side, even including the high medical insurance requirements, but many people who came from China to work are now in desperate situations locally either because they lost their jobs due to the epidemic or because they are maliciously owed wages by Chinese companies.

According to his conservative estimate, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers trapped in the area, as well as Chinese who have been tricked into engaging in illegal online gambling and fraud. These people went to the Chinese embassy in Cambodia for help, but basically no one accepted.

Mr. Tu said: this side of the cost is very high, the airline ticket is very high, the isolation fee is also very high well. A lot of Chinese people are in what factories, garment factories, wages are not particularly high. There are also those migrant workers on the site ah, did not get paid ah. Some are from April to now not get a penny. No money, can not go back, a lot of. There should be hundreds of thousands of it. On the embassy to pull banners, recently a lot of. The embassy does not care about these things, at most it is to negotiate with you, then there is no way to negotiate.

Mr. Tu also stressed that he could not talk about these issues publicly, otherwise he would be under pressure from the Chinese Communist Party officials.

Our correspondent called the Chinese Communist Embassy in Cambodia on this issue, but the agency refused to respond.

Since the outbreak of the New Crown epidemic broke out from Wuhan and spread around the world, countries have been rushing to ship their own nationals home. The Chinese government, however, has kept a tight line of defense, creating huge obstacles for those who wish to return home, and officials have even used the epidemic to blackmail their own nationals.

And in Cambodia, almost every month, Chinese people come to the embassy for help, but officials are unmoved. On September 10 last year, a seriously ill Jiangsu man knelt for seven days in front of the Chinese embassy in Cambodia, which attracted the attention of the local media before he was finally rescued by the private chamber of commerce. Many more have gone unnoticed.
