Do people see the US moving more of its manufacturing to Cambo?

Trucks I see very few ford cars here, a few mustangs and thats it....Ford is one of the best selling car brands here now. Rangers and Raptors are all over the place
Now Toyota on the other hand.
Cambodia has as much chance of being the "next " asian tiger as i have of flying to the moon
FYI:
Americans can own 100% of an american company in Thailand, ( since i constantly reference Thailand)
you are as safe here as just about anywhere, and alot safer than certain areas after dark in the states, ( except after dark in Kampot)..I have been reluctant to visit, because of past security concerns

Yeah, but at least this one was well-written and void of grammatical mistakes, unlike the puff pieces which the KT regularly churns out. At least he's reaching out.Anchor Moy wrote:^ Yeah, that's one point of view, and it's natural that he is working to encourage investment from other countries.

Cambodia has developed a legal and regulatory framework that encourages domestic and foreign investment. My government has introduced tax incentives, special economic zones and reduced logistics costs, all of which are attractive to businesses wishing to reach large Chinese, U.S. and European markets. In Cambodia, companies can be 100 percent foreign-owned, so foreign investors can employ Cambodia's educated work force without having to find a local partner.

Still don't understand the statement "and that is good news for America"

Of course, sustainable economic growth is quite achievable several decades after completely destroying the economy. After hitting zero, the only place you can go is up.

Re: Cambodia is on course to be the next Asian Tiger, and that is good news for America.
When I see images and videos of a Ford assembly plant, I usually see rolling assembly lines and hordes of robots, CNC machines and lots of computer control.
All requiring stable, reliable sources of electricity, large, well-maintained roads, and speedy freight rail lines.
A gas powered generator can run a bank of sewing machines, but insufficient for generating large amounts of pure sine wave power needed to power delicate robots and computers.
Clothes don’t care if they get tossed around across numerous potholes, but delicate parts don’t do so well.
Bolts of cloth can be ordered in bulk and held in reserve. Hundreds of sub assemblies would be more difficult. Railroads that take 8 hrs+ from Phnom Penh to China land when motos take half that time (and if they could do 100-140 kilometers per hour, even less), does not help just in time production.
I wish Ford the best in their assembly plant venture. It will be an interesting adventure into how to build a modern plant without modern infrastructure.
Or maybe Ford develops their own infrastructure?
Stable off grid power not dependent on the EDC? Their own port and rail or roads to ship parts into and finished cars out? Build a town around the plant to create a highly skilled, dedicated labor force?

There’s already a Ford plant here.
People of the world, spice up your life.
