The Spin

Pro-China narrative

The deepening cooperation between China and Cambodia represents stability amid global uncertainty, serving as a model for regional relations and demonstrating how countries can resist economic coercion — such as U.S. tariffs — through partnership while maintaining strategic independence and mutual respect.

Global Times

Anti-China narrative

U.S. tariffs on Cambodia do affect China, regardless of what the Chinese Communist Party claims. Those who take for granted that weaker U.S.-Cambodia trade ties will translate into greater Chinese dominance fail to realize that a drop in exports to the U.S. would actually reduce the need for Chinese investment and raw materials in Cambodia.
