ABOUT Commentary<\/strong><\/h4>\n

China\u2019s global image suffered when it was found that the novel coronavirus that caused the global COVID-19 pandemic originated from Wuhan city in the north of China back in early 2020. Discrimination against Chinese people was reported in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. The blame was particularly placed on China and how it suppressed critical information until it was too late for the rest of the world to prepare for what was coming. In addition to its early mishandling of COVID-19, China\u2019s image problem also stemmed from other actions and approaches that have generally not been well received by the international community, particularly democratic countries.<\/p>\n

A couple of years into the pandemic, however, the narrative has changed. In the case of Cambodia, the image of China has somehow also improved due in part to China\u2019s successful vaccine diplomacy and a continuing inflow of Chinese investment into Cambodia driven by China\u2019s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative.<\/p>\n
