Cambodia Punishes Chinese Woman for Tearing Sihanouk Portrait

Cambodian authorities have convicted a Chinese woman to a one-year suspended jail term after she tore up two picture of the late King Norodom Sihanouk.
The incident has sparked anger amongst Chinese netizens, but it’s not over how Cambodian authorities treated Wang Zia Chao. Rather, it was how China’s Foreign Ministry reacted to the issue.
On Monday, the manager of a clothing company reportedly grew impatient when her Cambodian workers were mourning over Sihanouk’s portrait during work hours. She took one of the portraits and tore it up, riling up the workers. Police were called in and a huge crowd of Cambodians gathered around her as police forced her to kneel in repent before Sihanouk’s image.
Wang said later she did not know whom the image was of when she tore up the posters.
On Wednesday, in response to a question about Wang's punishment, Ministry Spokesman Hong Lei said “King Sihanouk was a great friend of the Chinese public, and is beloved by Cambodians. The woman’s individual action was extremely wrong, and Cambodian authorities should deal it according to its laws.”
The official Chinese response is now being blasted online. Feathers were already ruffled last week after Sihanouk passed away in Beijing, and Chinese authorities set up an elaborate farewell procession for him. Many were unhappy that flags flew half-mast for someone they did not believe was deserving of the honors.
Commenting on the woman’s punishment, one netizen writes, “Who can tell me just exactly what her crime was”. Another says “I’m a bit confused, what exactly does a country’s dignity mean?”
Wang’s jail term has been suspended, and she is awaiting deportation.
Cambodia’s former King Norodom Sihaouk passed away on October 15th in Beijing, after a long battle with cancer.

If and any if she committed any crime. the cop should not be the judge, ruler or punisher, the role of the cop should be an enforcer...
The only crime she committed is sensitivity and poor judgement during a time of national morning.

Finally khmers are starting to like the dead man who helped to kill millions of his own people. GO FIGURE!
Sihanouk deserves to be worship by everyone visiting, working and living in camnodia because without sihanouk, hun sen wouldn't be our beloved prime minister for the 25 years and this great prime minister will continue to serve cambodia until he is 90.
Lucky she only tore sihanouk picture if she dare tearing hun sen or hun's wife portraits, she would have been sentence to life in prison.
Respect cambodian leaders if you're in cambodia or you will face persecution.
CPP Judge must Yuon/Vietnamese bastard??? She should not be convicted like that. Why was the Siam reporter free to go? Why was she convicted and jailed? Stupid CPP judge!!!
She accepted what she had done wrong because she did not know how offensive and sensitive the national mourns have been. It is a lesson learned. Cambodian people are very peaceful not like Siam/Thai, Yuon/Vietnamese, Middle East people who could people like her (Chinese woman), Siam Reporter, etc.
Now, stupd CPP judge must be Yuon/Vietnamese hiding in CPP regime.
KY

And you do have a brain? About 10 million Khmers in Cambodia are mourning the King you insulted them of being stupid?
They say the same thing to you "Yuon brain is in you that is why you refused to know the Yuon are real killer".
Why don't you come down to Cambodia and say it to those Khmers who are mourning their King?
9:13 AM AH CHkout. 10 million Khmer are mourningfor the death of 3 million Khmer because this crazy clown King died without giving their families anf friends justice.
What about the Khmer overseas, are they all stupid because they dont mourn the death of this crazy clown?
King Sihanouk Death just shows how fucked we are right now as a nation.
12:11 PM, you forgot about the Yuon/Vietnamese secret agents (Vietcong faces hiding among Khmer Rouges) everywhere during Khmer Rouges regime who had spoke, written and read Khmer language very well with Yuon/Vietcong (and similar to their Chinese ancestor's accent). They (Yuon/Viecong hidden faces) had secretly killed millions of Khmer people instead while Pol Pot and his real Khmer Rouges soldiers (real Khmer) were so busy fighting in the Southern Vietnam's evil armies in order to take Kampuchea Krom (Southern Cambodia) back. Pol Pot was also toppled by the Yuon/Vietcong secret agents and he had never been outside to visit the remote area to see what was going on. The communication had been dismantled and Pol Pot included Sihanouk were misinformed while millions of Khmer people dying from being slaughtered, murdered, starved to death. Every road and highway had been closed and everyone was not allow to cross and travel in the empty roads except the hidden Yuon/Vietcong faces hiding in the Khmer Rouges uniforms - black and red scarfs on the forehead. Everything from gold, valuable stuff, harvest productions and beyond were secretly shipped and transported to the f**king Communist Vietcong.
Many Khmer Rouges soldiers (real Khmer) turned into blind eyes and did not even know that hidden Yuon/Vietcong secret agents hiding among the Khmer Rouges soldiers.
Just think about it and you must know and be the judge yourself.
