Recent photos of a couple of newish developments around Phnom Penh. The mall on 271 was started about 8 years ago but has never opened. The other is in Chaom Chao. Both are owned by notorious pâté tycoon Thong Sarath.

That's awesome and funny. You see that kind of thing all the time like 6/11, and brand stealing with just a mis spelling.

Their copying and restyling has greatly improved. I'm not suprised Trump wants a 20% tariff on them. The EU has set new, higher rates, from last year:

The duties differ depending on the maker: 17% for BYD, 18.8% for Geely and 35.3% for state-owned SAIC. Other EV manufacturers in China, including Volkswagen and BMW, would be subject to a 20.7% duty. The Commission has an individually calculated rate for Tesla of 7.8%.
