Cambodian authorities have deported 156 Chinese nationals for their alleged involvement in cyber scams. According to a Thursday statement by the General Department of Immigration (GDI), the group was also accused of being involved in illegal employment activities. The 156 individuals were flown back to China on Wednesday in what the GDI described as "an effort to clean up and eliminate all technological crimes” in the country.

The development comes amid an ongoing crackdown on cyber fraud operations in the country. In February this year, Cambodia announced that it had deported more than 48,000 foreign nationals accused of involvement in online scams since August 2023. Since June 2025, authorities have also raided around 2,500 sites, dismantling 200 scam centers.
