Haha, here there is a pipe to gently scoot the poop down to the fishes at a more reasonable speed. There are guys that fish with poles right at the mouth of the poop pipe, absolutely mystifies me, and these guys are not poor or uneducated. You got it right, the CCP is increasingly calling the shots in the Cambodian economy, but 15 years ago Vietnam would've been the answer to that question.

I must say, if comparing the two, I would much rather have the future of Cambodia's economy in Vietnamese hands than in CCP hands. Seeing CCTV in Phnom Penh is certainly a wake-up call.
