Cambodian authorities continue to express amazement that there are any Chinese people left in China, as they all seem to be in Cambodia running illegal online gambling operations.

On Wednesday, immigration police in the city of Siem Reap arrested 19 Chinese nationals suspected of illegal online gambling activities following raids on three separate dwellings in this northwestern region. The raids were reportedly launched with the assistance of an undercover informant.

The Phnom Penh Post quoted the officer who led the raids saying the police were dealing with language issues but suggested the suspects could face up to five years in prison depending on what police learned about “the scope of the gambling they operated.”

To date, the cops have only said the suspects “sell accounts for online games.” This could mean that the gang offered local residents’ access to computer terminals logged on to online gambling sites.
