For shame.
Even threatening the deportation of RFA journalists is an evil move by the US government. These foreign journalists were US government employees reporting in places where press freedom doesn't exist. The consequences will be quite severe.

For those interested in how shared narratives of colour revolution bte #Cambodia and China bolster authoritarianism, here's my paper from 2021.
President Xi Jinping: "We must guard against & resist “color revolutions,” strengthen joint exercises & training, emergency management & security cooperation on major Belt & Road projects & crack down on telecom & cyber fraud & other criminal activities."

New in @AsianSurvey : @bophaphorn and I roundup #Cambodia in 2023 and 2024. Hun Manet is Prime Minister, but Hun Sen still wields power. We cover the political transition, foreign policy, and economic developments during those pivotal years.

Body blow to the export-led development model of much of SEA and beyond and the relative success countries like #Cambodia and #Vietnam had positioning themselves as locations for off-shored #Chinese manufacturing. Ordinary people will suffer. @sstrangio @realosamet.
Cambodia and Vietnam were slapped 49% and 46% tariffs respectively. Why?. "China has turned Cambodia into the most important transshipment hub that Communist China uses to evade our tariffs," a White House official said. Vietnam too. Buildings in Vietnam that may look like

What a nightmare. @RFA has been a source of incredible investigations and daily news for the last 15+ years I've been working in/on #Cambodia . The autocrats and the criminals must be popping open the champagne. For shame @SecRubio.
RFA does amazing reporting in the most difficult conditions in this region - especially Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia. We rely on them a lot - this is a real blow to us, to transparency accountability in Asia, to keeping people informed about what’s really going on. Very sad.
