If this report is about a percentage rise in exports to Cambodia, why mention China? Am I missing something?

And how does a 9.1% rise in exports from Thailand to Cambodia morph into a 59%! rise in imports from Thailand?

Does that figure include all the workers who exported themselves back home earlier this year?

Because the last corrupt government bought it in, siphoned off the rest through the back door (made an incidental fortune, from the real rice), and now they're sending back Cambodia's original rice, all within a few months. Amazing hey? ;)

Does that figure include all the workers who exported themselves back home earlier this year?

and some of those who have decided hanging around to face justice isn't for them ?

does this number already include the number of exported expats due to travel visa clamp down?
