Significance

The US State Department responded by saying that the case against him was politically motivated and part of a broader trend of the government cracking down on dissent. Prime Minister Hun Sen’s Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) is almost certain to retain power following the general election scheduled for July 23.

Impacts

Heavy suppression of political opponents will continue in the immediate term.
The United States will neither remove existing sanctions on Cambodia nor increase them significantly.
China will accelerate security cooperation with Cambodia.
