All of those claims are optimistic at best. As for international respect what countries besides China do you have in mind?

Re: biggest changes in the last 10 years
To me the biggest changes haven't really been in the past 10 years, the place was already on track to what it is these days by then. The construction has really accelerated over the past 3-4 years though, so it still sometimes surprises me to look across the city from a good vantage point and see so many huge developments. The lakes and wetlands around the city at the well-publicized Boeung Kak and then a large proportion of the far larger Boeung Tumpun, Boueng Pumpey, all the wetlands on Chruoy Changva are now vast sandy deserts with roads and intermittent developments. The roads and drainage are much better now. This has the knock-on effect of encouraging more driving though so the streets are increasingly congested.
It's an easier place to live now, there were very few 24 hour convenience stores 10 years ago ( if any?) and a much more limited area to find foreign-style restaurants in.
Other huge changes, that I guess apply to other countries, is how prevalent the use of Smart Phones rapidly became, in a place where a lot of people don't have a camera or TV, and then recently the rapid adaption to PassApp type rides.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

White people brought the KR back recently
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!
