Cambodia’s Python Regime

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Cambodia’s Python Regime

Post by Abc123 »

It reads a bit like an answer back to the claims America was trying to overthrow the government.

Cambodia’s Python Regime.

One difference is that the python kills swiftly, while HE and his ruling Cambodian People’s Party have spent 32 years choking the life out of their country.
It's strange how the country is thriving after 32 years of being choked to death.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I wonder if she's written anything about genocidal children-murderers in Yemen and the people who supplied the arms used?

Probably not.

I see she wrote that charges of non-payment of tax against the CD were 'trumped-up'' , perhaps she needs to read more.

I see there's a subscription offer, but fake manure is cheap here.

I was thinking that, I think the Cambodia she is writing about only exists in her head!

From the World Bank in Cambdoia, overview.
Following more than two decades of strong economic growth, Cambodia has attained the lower middle-income status as of 2015, with gross national income (GNI) per capita reaching $1,070. Driven by garment exportsand tourism, Cambodia has sustained an average growth rate of 7.6% in 1994-2015, ranking sixth in the world. Economic growth is expected to remain strong over the next two years (6.8% in 2017 and 6.9% in 2018) as recovering tourism activity coupled with fiscal expansion compensate for some moderation in garment exports and construction growth.

Poverty continues to fall in Cambodia, albeit more slowly than in the past. In 2014, the poverty rate was 13.5% compared to 47.8% in 2007. About 90% of the poor live in the countryside. While Cambodia has achieved the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving poverty in 2009, the vast majority of families who escaped poverty were only able to do so by a small margin. Around 4.5 million people remain near-poor, vulnerable to falling back into poverty when exposed to economic and other external shocks.http://www.worldbank.org/en/country/cambodia/overview

You three really should start your own paper. If you asked the government, I feel sure they would be only too willing to fund you.
