YouTube about Sihanoukville Port Special Economic Zone - Cambodia

COMMENTARY
This is an interesting piece of economic development promotion, and useful as a starting point for understanding what this development investment will accomplish ... but it is only a starting point.

A separate TVM posting is a video film about the displacement of poor people in Cambodia ... none of which gets mentioned in this promotional video

It is interesting to see all the 'advantages' that accrue to the investor, but it is also interesting to note that there is no talk of the cost of these benefits for the Cambodian government and society. The Economic Free Zone movement has been a boon for international companies from high wage cost rich countries because it enablees them to access low wage labor without having to pay very much to support the progress of these people into a higher wage middle class. This explains why high wage Japan is a major investor through JICA in the development of the Free Zone. The Free Zome makes economic sense for Japan much more than it really supports the progress of Cambpodia.

This subject needs a lot of deep discussion with approp[riate data.
