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.

Cambodia faces the threat of a total of 59 per cent tariffs on exports to the US once his 90-day pause expires. For Vietnam, the tariff would be 46 per cent, and for Malaysia, 24 per cent.
