Cambodia’s Supreme Court today officially dissolved the country’s largest opposition party, the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), a decision that will effectively make the Southeast Asian nation a one-party state. Kem Sokha, the CNRP’s president, was arrested in September over related trumped-up treason charges. He remains in jail and could be sentenced to 30 years when he goes to trial on the anti-state charges. Nearly half of all CNRP lawmakers have now fled the country. It would be difficult to ignore the role of China’s support for Hun Sen’s regime in his government’s efforts to crack down against the opposition, writes Sovinda Po for the Diplomat.
