In the Golden Triangle of Asia and Southeast Asia, there is such a country, the yellow gambling and drug industry is rampant, the society is full of various evil forces, turmoil, and most of the people are living in the water.
This country is known as "the paradise of white people, the hell of women".
Why is Cambodia so chaotic?
Cambodia
Behind the development of tourism
Cambodia is an ancient civilization with a long history, and the "Angkor Dynasty" is the most glorious period in Cambodia's history.
In 1836, Cambodia became a French colony, and after the outbreak of World War II, it was invaded by Japan, and the life of the Cambodian people was miserable.
It was not until the independence of the country in the 1950s that the country's economy began to develop steadily, with tourism becoming an important source of national economic revenue, accounting for 15% of GDP.
The prosperity of tourism has not only stimulated the growth of the national economy, but also allowed the people to get a piece of the pie and improve their lives.
This was originally a good thing, because many countries or cities have gradually developed by relying on tourism.
But in Cambodia, the prosperity of tourism has become a stepping stone to the rampant development of "pornography, gambling and drugs".
Cambodia
Behind Cambodia's booming tourism industry, there are more serious problems such as the sex trade, drugs, gambling and so on.
Even in Cambodia's tourism industry, an alternative way of travel has been derived: buying spring tours.
What does that mean? It is a group of people who cover their eyes and ears with tourism to Cambodia to trade in sex.
This tour group is called "cross-border trade" by locals, and the irony is born.
There is a famous nightclub street in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and the non-ferrous industry chain is quite mature and perfect.
Entertainment venues such as street hotels, bars, and KTV are filled with girls of all kinds, and surprisingly, the prices of their services are so-called universal standards, ranging from $50 to $150.
Guests can also get more services at a surcharge according to their needs. In other words, this illegal market has long been secretly marking every girl's price.
For foreign tourists, such a non-ferrous transaction can be said to be known to everyone and everyone.
According to a survey by the relevant agencies, there are about 100,000 runaway girls in the capital Phnom Penh alone.
This shows how prevalent Cambodia's non-ferrous industry is in the country.
Why is the "sex trade" so common in Cambodia?
Female hell
Cambodian sex practitioners are roughly divided into two categories, one is voluntary and the other is forced.
A woman voluntarily became a sex worker, and I can't think of any other reason than to be forced by life.
And it is also true that Cambodia, as a capitalist country, has a large number of poor people living at the bottom of society.
These poor families have many children, who work 14 hours a day on meager wages, but still live without food.
In an underground brothel, a girl receives four or five people a day and earns an annual income of about a few thousand dollars, or about $20,000 if it were an open entertainment venue.
Girls in rural Cambodia see sex workers earning more in a month than their parents earn in a year, and many children from poor families naturally jump into it.
This has also boosted the development of the non-ferrous industry to a certain extent.
At the same time, the huge profits of Cambodia's sex trade industry have made many service industry operators flock to it, and they even buy and sell women and children in order to have more money-making tools (girls).
According to a survey by the United States, nearly a thousand teenage girls and children disappear in Cambodia every year.
Traffickers will abduct women and children who are trafficked and force them to engage in the sex trade.
Once any uncooperative is found, he will be punched and kicked, closed in a small black room, and will not be given food or water.
And that's not the scariest thing, these people in charge of management will also force the girls to inject drugs, making them dependent, in order to achieve the purpose of making them obedient.
There was a girl who escaped from an underground sex trafficking organization and exposed a lot of shady scenes:
"When I was 10 years old, I was abducted and sold to an underground brothel to trade in sex, and every day countless people lined up to find me in order to have a relationship with me."
Why are there still children in sex trading places?
White paradise
In the Cambodian sex trade industry chain, in addition to the unsightly "spring buying group", there is also a more unacceptable "pedophile service" that is more unacceptable to ordinary people.
European and American countries have a perfect protection system for children, making it impossible for these pedophiles to succeed, but in Cambodia, the proliferation of sex trafficking has made the threshold of humanity of the people lower and lower.
The large number of white tourists in Cambodia's underground sex trading places, by spending money to enjoy the open and just, is really disgusting.
More and more white people in the lower middle class of society will choose to come to Cambodia in order to enjoy the life of "people on top".
Most of these people are over 40 years old, living unsatisfactorily in their own countries, and come to Cambodia to find a sense of presence.
They spend money here on vacation or living, paying to rent a girl who is 10 years younger than them as a "girlfriend" and keeping them around.
Some of these whites have families and even children and daughters, but they still do so in order to enjoy life.
And these pretty girls who are rented out, if they are lucky, they will be treated politely, but if they are unlucky enough to meet scum, they will be ordered to do this and that like a maid.
Some experienced pimps, in order to maximize their profits, will also teach girls to use means, and at the same time, they will associate with several men, so that they can find ways to tip from these people.
There are also operators who auction off girls at high prices for the "first night", using this as a gimmick to attract the attention of spring buyers, in order to make a windfall, it is really everything to the extreme.
Over time, there is a saying circulating in Europe and the United States, if you are a White man, you must go to Southeast Asia to live up to this life.
Cambodia has become a "white paradise", but at the same time it has become a hell for women.
However, once such illegal and criminal acts are exposed, these white people will also be punished accordingly, before the United States thought that the military colonel was reported to have "sexually abused" 7 girls in Cambodia, and his fate was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Poor girls are like commodities and money-making machines, and their value is squeezed clean by these exploiters, and will not be discarded until they are old and decaying.
This is the tragic fate of the poor girls in most cambodia.
Since it is an illegal industry, does the Cambodian government not care?
Although Cambodian law clearly stipulates that the sex trade is illegal and that there are not a few business operators who have been arrested, due to the corruption of insiders, as long as the arrested person is willing to pay for it, they can get along.
This kind of management method of turning a blind eye, over time, these outlaws have become more and more rampant.
As the saying goes, "yellow gambling does not separate families", Cambodia's gambling culture is even worse than that of the non-ferrous industry.
gambling
In order to integrate with the international community and seek better and faster development in the future, Southeast Asian countries have severely cracked down on illegal and criminal activities such as gambling.
But Cambodia has done the opposite, opening its doors to gambling. In 1995, Cambodia enacted the Anti-Gambling Act, which prohibits its citizens from participating in gambling activities, but recognizes the legal status of the gambling industry.
Cambodia's so-called Oriental Las Vegas Spring and Autumn Dream has since begun.
In 2014, cambodia publicly recognized as many as 3,000 legal casinos, and in 2018, the total number of newly approved casino licenses was 150, an increase of 53% over 2017.
Cambodia has become the country with the largest number of casinos in all countries in Southeast Asia.
Why should Cambodia open its arms to the gaming industry?
Of course, there is a huge interest behind it.
When Cambodia's casinos become a place for the world's evil forces to launder money, then Cambodia will earn more foreign exchange and promote the development of the entire national economy.
It is undeniable that gambling has indeed brought huge foreign exchange income to Cambodia, and has also driven economic development, but the growing gambling atmosphere has gradually made the Chinese people begin to get involved.
A large number of Cambodian citizens participate in gambling, and everyone holds the dream of getting rich overnight, but how many dreams have come true?
The rich people are ruined, the poor people sell their wives and daughters, and at the same time, the behavior of buying and selling people has intensified the development of the non-ferrous industry on the side.
"Yellow and gambling" influence each other, which in the long run has caused a vicious circle in the whole society.
In 2019, the Cambodian government recognized the harm of gambling and issued a ban on gambling, ordering the closure of many illegal casinos, but casinos with business licenses are still operating.
How can drugs be absent when the sex trade and gambling industry are so mixed up in Cambodia?
Drugs
Speaking of drugs, we have to mention the anti-drug efforts in China, where the average life expectancy of China's anti-drug police is only 41 years, which is 30 years less than normal people.
However, the number of anti-narcotics police on the mainland is still increasing every year, and although some people continue to die, some people are also on top of the succession.
Most of those drug traffickers are outlaws with weapons on their bodies, and the daily life of the mainland anti-drug police is to walk on the tip of the knife and shuttle under the bullets.
They were not allowed to show their faces while they were alive, their names could not be left on the tombstones after their sacrifices, and even their families could not go to worship.
It's all about keeping our people free of drugs.
On the other hand, Cambodia, because of its unique geographical location, adjacent to the "Golden Triangle" region, is the so-called near the water tower first to get the moon, Cambodia's domestic drug abuse and drug trafficking is large.
Golden triangle
Drugs became a product of public sale in the market, and even if the drug dealers were arrested by the Cambodian police, they were only sentenced to a few years.
Due to the Cambodian government's indulgence in the sale and purchase of drug dealers, more than 90% of drug traffickers in various countries in the world will trade in Cambodia.
The huge profits brought by drugs have not only made them use drugs and sell drugs, but many people have also taken risks and embarked on the road of drug production.
Many provinces in Cambodia have seized drug-making dens, and they have a complete set of tools for processing, production, packaging, transportation, etc.
According to official data, there are about 1,500 entertainment venues around Phnom Penh, and the proportion of drugs is more than 85%.
Phnom Penh's seizure of drugs
Gambling, sex trafficking, and drugs are ubiquitous, and even ordinary people have no barriers to access, which raises more serious social problems.
Cambodia has a large number of citizens to sell and suck, including many people at the bottom of society, and what is even more frightening is that this vice has begun to spread to young people.
According to the case data released by the Cambodian police in recent years, it is found that the proportion of juveniles in crimes related to pornography, gambling and drugs is increasing, which is really chilling.
Children are the flowers of the motherland, but also the future of the motherland, do not dare to imagine that the teenagers of a country, one by one, have embarked on the road of "pornography, gambling and drugs", and what hope does a nation or even the whole country have in the future.
Minors who commit crimes in Cambodia
brief summary
With the development of Cambodia's "pornography, gambling and drugs", the rights and interests of women and children cannot be guaranteed, the crime rate remains high, and the social class contradictions are serious.
It seems to have affected the benign development of Cambodian society, which is the tragedy of the Cambodian people and the tragedy of the country.
In recent years, due to the epidemic, the tourism industry in various countries has been greatly reduced, and Cambodia is certainly no exception.
In 2019, there were tens of thousands of businesses in Cambodia that provided tourism services, but after the outbreak of the epidemic, nearly 80% of stores closed.
Without the huge number of tourists, you can imagine how many people in Cambodia are unemployed.
However, if the Cambodian government can seize this opportunity to rectify the tourism industry and rectify the social atmosphere, I believe that Cambodia will embark on the right road to prosperity.
Cambodia
We in China have also had days of being backward and beaten, but the people of our motherland have worked hard to become stronger, and under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, they have developed from a poor agricultural country to a big country in the east that no country can underestimate.
But this is the result of the painstaking efforts and efforts of generations in our country.
If the Cambodian government can also endure the pain of cutting off these illegal industries and develop the national economy in a down-to-earth manner, I believe that one day, they can also rise.
Seeing the plight of the people at the bottom of Cambodia, I am glad that I was able to give birth to China and become a member of the Chinese nation.
Community anti-drug campaigns
Cherish life and stay away from drugs.
Gambling hurts people, turning back is the shore.
Reject pornography and gambling, stay away from AIDS!
These slogans are well known to elementary school students.
From Lin Zexu's "Selling Cigarettes at Humen" in the Qing Dynasty to the fact that anti-narcotics police are taking personal risks, our country has never let us down in maintaining social stability.
Some people say that there are no good years, but someone carries the weight for you where you can't see.
We can always live in a peaceful and peaceful society because there are many people in the society who guard us.
I hope that in the near future, we can see the children in Cambodia's rural areas who can get out of the quagmire, carry school bags, change their fate with knowledge, and get rich with diligence and wisdom.
This illegal, dirty trade should be completely eliminated!
