[英文摘要] :
Though anti-Chinese riots are rare in Cambodia, the ethnic Chinese in Cambodia during Khmer Rouge have undergone some of the most severe repression in the world. The situation had improved by the 1990s, following the Hun Sen government’s abolishment of the discriminatory policies towards them. The positive opinion of the Cambodian-Chinese was given another boost when Chinese capital flooded into the country. Keeping a low profile in politics and contributing to the national economy through their businesses were the ways in which the ethnic Chinese survived in Cambodia. This did not mean they had no interest in politics; rather, they preferred to engage with it by patronizing by the ruling politicians through their businesses. However, as the main stakeholder of the Cambodian political economy and the main pipeline through which Chinese capital flows, the Cambodian-Chinese would be in the firing line should Chinese investment not work out in the long-term.
