My trip to Cambodia: “Without us Chinese coming here and creating jobs for them, the Cambodians would only have a mango a day to eat,” a Chinese businessman said to me. “They are so backward.”http://www.chinafile.com/reporting-opinion/viewpoint/see-they-are-so-happy-our-generosity …

I don't understand the point of this article. Cambodia is certainly better off with Chinese FDI. The Chinese are right. They are creating jobs. Yes, they do stupid shit like dump sewage into rivers, but China has better record of governance in Cambodia does than Cambodia.

You are right. "They are creating jobs" for low skilled Chinese workers who come from China & do jobs Khmers should be doing but are not because the Chinese are doing them.

Perhaps in construction there is some of this, but you're wrong about this in other industries. Chinese factories relocate to Cambodia to hire Cambodian workers. Or do they import Chinese to Cambodia for that too

The supervisors in garment factories are mostly Chinese. Many of the factory workers themselves have moved to Phnom Penh after getting their land grabbed by the Hun Sen Regime then doled out as Special Economic Zones or Economic Land concessions to China etc.pic.twitter.com/FmxrlrrWqH

1. I buy products from a factory in Cambodia where the supervisor is Cambodian. 2. The supervisors always start out as foreigners because the locals don't know what they're doing until they are trained.

3. Your pictures add nothing to this conversation. This road is all foreign factories employing Cambodian labor. I have seen the insides of these factories and they are clean and safe. https://www.google.com/maps/@11.6957032,105.0386797,3a,75y,167.82h,85.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDI_-lhD2eLq6pXqdwQ-JPA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 …

They are clean and safe when you visit but that is not the case if you arrive unannounced. I also checked out the spandrel blog, who mentioned "THE GOD DAMN Rohingyas" so I have an idea of as to why you are critical of

Wrong again. We do regular repeated inspections, some of which are unannounced. I did not write that blog and I have no idea what you're talking about. You lost the argument. Instead of going ad hominem you should change your view.
