China has issued a ban on tourism in the Philippines due to illegal gambling operations. It was previously announced that 40,000 Chinese workers would be deported as part of the crackdown on illegal betting.

China wants to ban gambling in the Philippines. The ban is to prevent an increase in offshore gambling operations. China used to be responsible for a large chunk of tourism in Philippines, but numbers have fallen since the pandemic. The UN warned of a growing gambling-related criminal empire in Southeast Asia. Chinese ambassador to the Philippine ambassador claims that the country is now on a blacklist of tourist sites.

China is set to ban Philippines travel over gambling crimes. The Philippines is preparing for a heavy drop in visitors. There is still uncertainty about the future of gambling in the country. Ambassador Huang said regulation is not the key. China has not given an official response to the Philippines but released a general statement condemning POGOs’ crimes and asking questions.
