Speaking of Cambodia, China has got quite the strangle hold on that country.

Which is interesting, because the Vietnamese installed a government after defeating the Khmer Rouge in 1979. This majorly pissed off China who invaded Vietnam to "punish" them.

But today? It's a playground for Chinese criminal gangs. Kidnapping of foreigners (recently a Thai citizen) who work in local casinos is common. It's mostly Vietnamese, but other nationalities have been snapped up as well.

It's also a hotbed for Chinese running online scams.

Seems quite lawless nowadays despite the development since the war.
