    Mass Arrests and Extortion at Cambodian Apartments

    Chinese nationals living in several Cambodian apartment complexes, including Tooze Palace, Royal Palace, 10.1 Prince Residence, and Tai Zi Wan Yu Apartment, have reported sudden inspections by local police and military police, leading to mass arrests and extortion. Those arrested were mainly Chinese nationals with valid passports and documents, including individuals who were merely picking up takeout or passing by. The property management did not notify residents about the inspections and allowed the police to enter and search premises. Money was demanded at various stages, from visits to prison wards, with conservatively estimated totals reaching over 2 billion yuan (around $290 million USD). The purpose of this post is to warn Chinese nationals in Cambodia to leave immediately upon hearing about inspections and to remind everyone to stay informed about the situation.
