A country for rent

Given the numbers of squawkers over on ThaiVisa proclaiming that they’re leaving Thailand for Cambodia it’s apposite that we’re reminded what a corrupt place Cambodia is, and how beholden to China it has become. To that end I recommend an article in a recent NY Review of Books Cambodia: a country for rent - https://www.nybooks.com/articles/201...ntry-for-rent/

Speaking of Matt, how much longer must his faithful followers wait for his Vientiane trip? At least Laos isn’t Cambodia - yet

Sadly America lost to the highest bidder.

The rentable Cambodian diaspora in Thailand prefer to go by the euphemism 'help me' rather than 'pay me' for the services rendered.
