The same to the Cambodian Chinese. We have five Chinese associations Teochew, Hokkien, Hakka, Hainan and Cantonese. The Jian Hua is the central association of the five.
Lol. What's more important is that these "yellow" stores were selling stuff made in China. And those greedy thugs gladly bought it all up. (Don't forget these thugs in the past six months have swore not to use anything that is made in China)!

Shutting mainland-HK border 'unwise'
inside there's something I wondered about yesterday, which is how exactly they'd handle deliveries by land at checkpoints
now the link to Glob. Times had to say:

Hendrik. I do with agree with much of what you said, but the education is not quite true. I was educated in Hong Kong, abiet up to junior level, whereas my elder brother and sister had a bit more educational level
We all had what we called bog-standard education with much emphasis on Chinese culture and history. We celebrate Chinese New year, Dragon boat, mid autumn and the rest. We learned history from the first emporor down to the last emporor. The only thing we didn't learn from school was how Great Britain was able to obtain Hong Kong. (But then again, we already knew that from our parents and relatives and friends).
Now admittedly this was a long time ago. Way before the hand over. So my theory is that the education system somehow got hi-jacked at around the hand over period with radical teachers, and anti-China politicians. It was only about three years ago when the education authority had to withdraw the text from a school publication because it contain a question asking about ethnicity, and the answer was Chinese. The way the anti-China politician led by the Mao woman complained about that and forced it's withdrawal, you would have thought the heaven's fallen in!
It's great to know all sub-group of Chinese get on nicely, and are proud of their roots! I myself am Cantonese with Hakka ancestry (Both my parents and all my elder generation speaks Thanks. I'm sad to say I don't and they all laugh at me)!
Here in the UK, my Chinese association have a wide deverse group. We have Mongolian (a sub-group. She told me it's one of the smallest minority in China) to Chinese from Chengdo to Beijing. From kummin to Shanghai. But majority is from Hong Kong.
The good thing about this is during festivities, there's always wide variety of food to try! Love it.
WOW, five separate association!? It must be a large city where you are. I'm not knocking it. Steelbird, but what about inclusion?
Malaysian ethnic Chinese show their support to China Wuhan! Thanks Malaysian Chinese .

Actually, Phnom Penh is a rather small under developed city with an estimated population of about 2 million, added migrated workers would make it about 2.5 million at most. Five separated associations because we have five groups of people originated from five different places; Chao Shan (Teochew), Hakka, Fujian, Hainan and Guang Dong (Cantonese). We also have a central association which is called Federation of Khmer Chinese in Cambodia (柬华总会). We have good relationship with Chinese government.
Their conscience finally got their better of them? Or they finally realised people in Hong Kong, or China or indeed even the western nations, (the support these people relied upon) have no sympathy with their strike actions as China and the world continues to fight the virus?
So they decided to "suspend" their strike for now! (maybe they are not getting the news coverage from the western MSM that they required to obtain the publicity!
However, when you think you are on top of things, now the train union threaten to strike! Just what's wrong with these pampered fools in Hong Kong!
