What the document holds
The Diplomat column (March 2026) on Cambodian naturalisations and crime: Chen Zhi's extradition and 'irregular' citizenship (now an event), a Royal Gazette dataset of more than 4,000 grants 2000-2024 (already in the data), Inca Digital analysis (over half of naturalised people are company directors or shareholders; over 5% of companies have a naturalised board member: no indicator, about corporate boards not the programme), Chen Zhi's 45+ companies, She Zhijiang's case, the 2024 halt of gazette publication (already an event). The year of the extradition is given only as 'earlier this year' (2026).
