Business is slow thanks to coronavirus. So here is Some Coronavirus related business.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I wouldn't count on it. To those who have the goods made, money rules all. If the American people gave a shit, they would have supported their own country all along.

Again, sadly, I wouldn't count on it. All that the aggressive people care about is money and greed, and the general public doesn't care enough to stop them, or even just stop supporting them.
Well now Americans will get their chance. Your view of human nature is shaped by your own worldview, me, im a fucking Yank and China just fucked with us. Time to fucking party on some Commies, lets see if they can keep up because we can make it better and we can even farm out factories to decent and quiet places like Cambodia and Moldova. Ooooh rah. Thats my worldview and there are a lot of us. Im looking at Made ins.....Hope you are washing your hands and staying healthy.

Glorified middle man and a reason why everything is over priced. That isn’t a business. It’s a racket.

China is one step away from running Cambodia. Even if current Chinese goods are made here, I'm sure all of the materials will still come from China. So then we're just paying a slight mark-up to have things assembled in Cambodia? I bet it would be the same story with a lot of Southeast Asian countries. It won't be quite that easy. Maybe some places in Africa could offer the cheap labor that the American corporations demand for record yearly profit growth? Just to clarify, I Really hope there is a change. This U.S.-Chinese system has been broken for decades. I just don't think much will change.

I hope the same for you.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...
