Original report from Phnom Penh

Cambodian authorities have denied a request from the Taiwanese Overseas Commercial Development Council to open an office in the country, officials said.
Cambodia does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state, but follows a “one-China” policy. China considers the island a renegade province.
“I completely turned the request down,” Foreign Affairs Minister Hor Namhong said. “There can’t be any official representative or commercial or cultural mission or whatever from Taiwan. Cambodia permanently adheres to its one-China policy.”
Taiwan has no diplomatic representation in Cambodia, though many factories in the garment and textile sectors are Taiwanese owned.
The commercial office could have been used as an “unofficial embassy,” government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said. “It's better for these Taiwanese small business owners in Cambodia to establish their own association to coordinate their businesses.”

SEE I TOLD YOU THE WORLD, OUR PEACEFUL ,COEXIST, AND NON INTERFERENCE POLICY WORKS VERY WELL WITH OUR CAMBODIAN PARTNER.
WE GIVE OUR FRIEND A BIG REWARD AND EVERYTHING FALL INTO PLACE WITH NO INTERFERENCE AND STRUGGLE.
Most of the nations of the world support one China policy; yet they can still conduct commerce with Taiwan and have friendly relation with both countries. China had bought the CPP and the CPP is proud to be its slave.
So much of Cambodian Independence.
