Synopsis: The Straits Times’ foreign editor Bhagyashree Garekar hosts ST’s Indochina bureau chief Tan Hui Yee.
They talk about China’s presence especially in this region in light of Hui Yee’s recent reporting trip to Cambodia. She visited Sihanoukville, a quiet coastal town which has been transformed by Chinese investment.
