PHNOM PENH -- Construction began this week on an expressway linking Cambodia's capital to the Vietnamese border town of Bavet, with financial assistance from China as Beijing's influence here continues to grow.
The Chinese state-owned China Road and Bridge Corp. will acquire operating rights for 50 years upon completion of the project, whose construction cost comes to around $1.37 billion.
