Recently, China has been assisting Cambodia in strengthening
its infrastructure, which was in desperate need of improvement in order to
raise the living standard of the Cambodian people and promote regional economic
development. Lately, the Cambodian government has given high priority to infrastructure
construction, including road, irrigation, and electricity facilities. The 57th
national road was just completed within Cambodia. This will greatly improve
trade by making rice, fruit, and farm products more readily accessible to
neighboring countries such as China. It will also enhance communication and
reduce transportation costs.
Not knowing very much about Cambodia and never having
visited a country with such a weak infrastructure, I found the article very
interesting. It provides useful information about the country, and indirectly
about businesses within the country as well. Since a business cannot properly function
without a decent infrastructure, including roads and transportation, electricity,
and communication channels it is no wonder that Cambodia struggles
economically.

I think it is awesome that China is helping Cambodia develop their infrastructure. I think it is really important for developed countries to assist developing countries any way that they can.
