"Where there are some quiet years, but someone is carrying the weight for you." This is a hot comment on the Internet, what he said is that when our lives are peaceful, it is those ordinary and heroic characters who desperately block the darkness behind them, and we can live in the light.
We often say that we live in an era of peace and stability, and it is true that the People's Liberation Army Chinese has paid too much for our happy life; But where we don't know, there are countries and regions that are suffering from a life that we can't imagine.
The influx of refugees in Syria, the long-term military threat in the Middle East, and the long-term drug trade in the Golden Triangle, near our country.
When it comes to the drug trade, Operation Mekong showed us the tip of the iceberg of the drug trade, but we can't imagine how chaotic the real drug trade is.
In Cambodia, which borders Thailand and Vietnam, it is a magical place, as an ancient civilization with a long history, the Angkor dynasty from the 9th to the 14th century was the glory period of Cambodia, fell into a French colony in the 19th century, was occupied by Japan in the 40s of the 20th century, and gradually liberated in the 70s.
However, the long-term chaos of public order has caused extremely serious contradictions and crises in Cambodian society. Gangsters collude with the official government, prostitution organizations are prevalent, the drug trade is repeatedly banned ... Who could have imagined that in the 21st century, a century in which everyone feels peaceful and safe, there would be such a dark place where pornography, gambling and drugs are rampant?
Cambodia – a dark corner
Why is Cambodia located in the Indochina Peninsula, with open seas, bordering Vietnam and Thailand, and convenient personnel exchanges, but still breed so much evil?
In the 21st century, Cambodia began to develop its tourism industry, and national life is gradually on the right track, but behind the development of tourism, there is actually a cover for all kinds of black trade - criminals value the convenience of this region, and it has become a paradise for various violations and drug trade. As early as the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Cambodian Government pointed out that the primary threat to national development was AIDS.
How did AIDS come about? There are two main channels, one is prostitution and the other is long-term drug use, which leads to low resistance, and injecting drugs is extremely susceptible to disease.
Although Cambodian law explicitly prohibits prostitution, there are bound to be people who make a profit, even if it is illegal.
As Marx mentioned in Capital, "If there is a 10% profit, capital is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With 20% profit, capital can become active; With 50% of the capital, capital will be desperate; For the sake of 100% profit, capital dares to trample on all human laws; With more than 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even to risk hanging. ”
Therefore, some criminals will coerce women into prostitution, and even Cambodian sex tourism is the characteristic of their tourism, in order to control these women and not let them out of their control, those criminals will use drugs to make them addicted, and finally achieve the purpose of control.
These dark deals are ultimately learned from a girl who was once controlled by her true experience. After such a black transaction was exposed, people suddenly realized that in such an era, there were still people who lived a life worse than death.
Even the U.S. State Department noted in its report: "Trafficking in women remains a serious problem in Cambodia, especially virginity. ”
And these are just the tip of the iceberg, these things happen, the government is simply unable to control, human trafficking can happen in all corners of Cambodia, and not just women.
Casinos – slaughterhouses for the population
Cambodia was arguably the country with the most casinos in the world, but they are a Buddhist country, and gambling and the ascetic ascetic preached by Buddhism are completely opposite things, so under the strong push of the Cambodian prime minister, many casinos have been closed.
But how could the casino owners stop there, opening closed casinos to the border between Cambodia and Thailand and they forbade Cambodian citizens to enter, and the authorities turned a blind eye to such regulations.
Thailand, also a country where yellow gambling and drugs are prevalent, Thai gamblers flocked to the border when they learned that Cambodian casinos had opened to the border of Thailand, and they were drunk inside, addicted to the pleasure of gambling, and crazy.
Because the casino is on the border between the two countries, the Cambodian side is not easy to manage, and the Thai military will not pay attention to it, the casino is getting bigger and bigger, and then all kinds of black transactions follow, and evil begins to breed.
In the casino, it is actually easy to guess what kind of crime there will be, which is nothing more than sex trafficking, drugs, and even various shootings. Gamblers dream of getting rich overnight, but the real life is only to curl up in a small house, praying for an early pass today.
What kind of things a losing gambler can do is something we can't imagine...
A drug dealer's paradise
We know that drugs are extremely harmful and addictive, but why the drug trade is still repeatedly banned is mainly because the profit of the drug trade is extremely large. The data shows that the number of drug users in the world is still increasing year by year, but in recent years, China has vigorously cracked down on the drug trade, and the number of drug users has begun to decline steadily.
Cambodia is in a special location, and we all know that the drug trade in the Golden Triangle region is extremely rampant, and Cambodia is precisely the raw material production and transit point for those drug trades.
Cambodia's economy is so backward that many farmers choose to grow opium poppies in order to survive, and the government is not opposed to this, even if drug producers and traffickers are caught, because Cambodia does not have the death penalty, but only imprisonment, under such a system, more and more people have embarked on the road of drug trafficking.
The demand for drugs is huge, and a mature industrial chain has gradually formed in Cambodia, in fact, whether it is drug trading or erotic trading or human trafficking and gambling, Cambodia has never suddenly formed a scale, it is the mutual influence of several of them, resulting in Cambodia gradually falling into a black whirlpool.
Brief summary:
How to stop the spread of these black transactions is not only a problem that the Cambodian government needs to consider, this is also a problem that every country's government needs to consider, no one can always live in an unchanging environment, and the real peaceful and stable living environment should be created by ourselves.
