Compare the coverage of the opening of a $360million sugar mill in Preah Vihear yesterday. It's good to see the Khmer Times' new editor is making such a massive difference to Mohan's agenda.

For fear of sounding like I am defending the KT, if you post the Post's business story, the headlines are much more similar.
Just saying.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with a story marking the opening of a mill that will employ 7000 people directly and indirectly.
Its a huge project.

I'd look at the location.
Next Thailand.
Cheaper labour.
Economic land concessions for sugar plantations.
All the sugar shipped to Siam.

That is a good point. But the Post chose to cover the same event from two noteworthy angles, which is to their credit.cyclingqueen wrote:For fear of sounding like I am defending the KT, if you post the Post's business story, the headlines are much more similar.

Considering that KT's publisher used to be mired in similar land conflicts with farmers, it looks like neglecting the other conflictual angle to the story was a conscious move.

I've heard a bit about this as it was coming together and knew it would be large. I don't know the ins and outs of this particular case, but seems to me to be a good example of how an ELC should develop. Having a processing factory on site is a big step forward.

Are they employing Khmers as the workforce or bringing in Chinese workers? Will the power generation help the locals or feed the other Chinese projects developing in the area?
Also, are there not several multi billion dollar Chinese projects in Preah Vihear? This project doesn't exist in a bubble, I assure you....but no report on those linked to this project.
This is another feather in the cap for HE. The Chinese are standing with Cambodia over the border dispute with Thailand. All these projects along the front line in the dispute are a clear signal to the Thais.
