The new blacklist system for cross-border gambling tourist destinations, the Ministry added, would see travel restrictions imposed on Chinese citizens going to overseas cities and scenic spots named on the blacklist. “I cannot think of a more vulnerable Asian gaming market than Korea.” – Andrew Klebanow 「我想不出比韓國更脆弱的亞 洲博彩市場。」 – Andrew Klebanow
