Cambodia is a promising target for Taiwanese entrepreneurs seeking
cheap labor without risking the social unrest that has surged through Vietnam.
Riots have broken out in Vietnam against China's oil rig in disputed
waters near the Paracel islands in the South China Sea, which are claimed by
both countries. Vietnamese protesters have destroyed foreign-invested factories,
including those operated by Taiwanese. Cambodia is on its way to democracy and
the country's institutions are gradually taking on rules and laws. On top of
that, local wages are low, which is an advantage for Taiwanese businesses.
However, Lee Chun, a spokesman for the Taiwan-based Chung-Hua
Institution for Economic Research (CIER), said Vietnam will most likely
continue to draw investment despite the anti-China riots because of huge local
demand.
