After 38 years of rule, outgoing Cambodian PM Hun Sen's son Hun Manet approved as new prime minister

Hun Sen led Cambodia authoritatively for nearly 40 years but is now transferring power to his son Hun Manet.
Hun Manet was overwhelmingly approved by Cambodia's parliament despite recent controversial elections criticized by the West.
While Hun Manet was educated in the West, analysts expect limited change from his father's strongman policies.
Hun Sen will retain influence as head of the ruling party and Senate president until 2033.
The generational transition raises questions about Cambodia's future relations with the US, China, and human rights.
