CHINA’S President Xi Jinping completed a two-day state visit to Cambodia today, capping a three-nation tour that included stops in Vietnam and Malaysia.
The visits come as the three south-east Asian countries are facing economic challenges from United States President Donald Trump’s tariff proposals.
