The quiet part is now loud—Cambo's 49% tariff is about CN "transshipment." The rate tops Vietnam’s and trails only CN, despite mostly exporting low-value goods (garments, travel products, etc.), unlike VN’s more competitive exports. Its nascent solar industry remains irrelevant.

Good catch from the team. Less than a week after the FinCEN proposal to ban, Huione Pay pulled its logo from its office...just like LYP Group did after sanctions. Time will tell if Huione Group stays on the business registry. cambojanews.com/huione-pay-rem

Tremendous reporting by Coby Hobbs The Diplomat on the deportation of Taiwanese trafficking victims to the mainland...and on China's response to Cambodia's scam industry which has decidedly "NOT resulted in accountability for [CPP-linked] kingpins." thediplomat.com/2025/05/suspec
