Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar hold great strategic value for China as it seeks to expand its influence.
On Friday, China responded to Trump's tariffs with a 34% tariff on all goods imported from the US.
President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs are expected to cut deep against both friend and foe, but several of the nations that stand to suffer the most are right on China's doorstep.Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar are on track to face tariff rates of 49%, 48%, and 44%, respectively. All three have maintained close economic and political ties with China. Only a handful of other nations have to deal with a higher or equal level of import taxes, including Lesotho (50%), Madagascar (47%), and Vietnam (46%).
