Trailer from a new book available here amzn.to/JX9vK3
We've heard of China's buying sprees. That it's plowed billions of dollars into some of the poorest nations in the world. But the story we don't know is what this money means for the people there. In Cambodia, the cost has been devastating. More than 700,000 people have lost their homes — others their lives — while China buys the former killing fields for resorts, hotels, and exclusive residences. And as this country of genocide descends into another era of chaos and violence, some whisper it's the second coming of Pol Pot.
But one woman has fought back. In this fast-paced narrative, Terrence McCoy follows Vanny Tep's quest to save Cambodia from China's money. Leading a small, fiery group of women, Vanny has sparked a grassroots movement from one of the most daunting slums in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. Her battles are against the Cambodian government, Chinese companies, and a male-dominated society. Powerful and profound, "The Playground" takes us across Cambodia to discover the true meaning of a global Chinatown.

This article is not very smart and created by the stupid thinker who wrote this.
Cambodia is under CPP that is full of Vietnamese advisers and business dealers who have been doing the business with China and stupid and dumb Khmer leaders Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim who are so blind and have not seen what has happened to Cambodian. Yes, Cambodia is being swallowed by Vietnamese thieves. Then those Khmer/Cambodian folks and supporters blamed on China because of Pol Pot. Those Khmer folks did not see that the Yuon/Vietnamese master-minded bastards initially created the Killing Fields under Pol Pot regime because the Yuon/Vietcong hiding among Khmer Rouges soldiers that killed millions of higher educated and innocent Khmer people.
Very disappointed that Khmer folks have not been thinking clearly and have not learned anything history or studied or done the researches about the dirty secret plans from Vietnamese masters and some Chinese who befriended with Vietnamese masters to kill Khmer people. Khmer folks have been so gullible until these days. Where are the reliable educated Khmer folks to help these gullible Khmer folks to see the real problems coming From Vietnamese master and secret Vietnamese advisers and military polices or bodyguards in CPP to protect Hun Sen (Vietnamese Dogs).
Theary Seng is very stupid, too, because she did not see the problems were originated by Vietnam dirty secret and trick to make gullible Khmer people blame on Chinese only, but they are so blind about CPP is full of Vietnamese business crooks and cronies more than Chinese business. You, Khmer folks, should learn and listen to smart and intelligent Khmer folks who know everything.
In Pol Pot regime China and Youn killer Khmers by using Khmer Rouge (KR-China and KR-Viet). Now China and Viet kill Khmers by using CPP-Viet (former KR-Viet). Who help Khmers? Only the west countries, Now all Khmers must stand up!
