It's more likely an illegal factory which has been cutting into the profits of the established companies has been shut down because tobacco is very lucrative and there are powerful people involved in the industry.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Illegal Chinese Cigarette Factory Busted in Phnom Penh
Suspects held in huge fake cigarettes case

CHINA - Police say they have caught 43 suspects in connection with a 400-million-yuan (US$59.5 million) counterfeit cigarettes case in the city’s largest cross-border crackdown of its kind.
They are suspected of making counterfeit cigarettes of high-end brands such as Chunghwa, Peony and Panda in Cambodia, smuggling them to China and selling across the country.
Police seized over a million cartons of cigarettes, 36 machines and other material worth over 400 million yuan.
Of the suspects, 19 were caught in Cambodia. They were escorted to Shanghai after 14-day medical quarantine and observation.
Police in Fengxian District received a report from a local company in May last year that it had received large parcels from unknown sources several times.
An initial investigation found that counterfeit cigarettes had been packaged as food. They were sent by a man surnamed Chen from Fujian Province and should have been delivered to a local resident surnamed Pan.
Police said Chen had also sent counterfeit cigarettes to the provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places in China.
At Chen’s request, they said, Pan had transferred money to an assigned back account under the name of Wu. In tracking Wu, police found he frequently travelled between China and Cambodia.
Further police investigation found that Wu had set up underground factories in Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital, and was making branded cigarettes without approval. He bought materials and recruited workers from China and the products were illegally shipped to China, they said.
