The U.S. embassy in Cambodia confirmed on June 19 that U.S. authorities have fined several Cambodia-registered companies upon discovery that they transshipped China-made goods to the United States in a bid to assist Chinese exporters in dodging U.S. tariffs.
The embassy did not say how many companies were involved in the case, nor whether any had Chinese ownership. But all of them were based in the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone (SSEZ), a key project of the Chinese regime’s One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative.
