that's not true. the khmer rouge came to power after the end of the vietnam war, and I don't think the US bombed cambodia after that. the previous cambodian government already had friendly relations with north vietnam, and what the US was bombing in cambodia were principally north vietnamese military supply routes. well, in reality the US just bombed everything and everyone in the region of cambodia near south vietnam, as well as all of laos. but they weren't specifically bombing the khmer rouge. I don't know if the khmer rouge ever were as friendly towards communist vietnam as the previous cambodian government. certainly in the end they were not, as khmer rouge raids into vietnam caused vietnam to invade and depose the khmer rouge (while also humiliatingly defeating a chinese invasion attempt of vietnam, which was meant to aid the khmer rouge, who were close allies of china). basically communist vietnam liberated cambodia from the khmer rouge. but they were never held accountable for their crimes, and many of them remain influential in cambodia.

that dyeing technique is insanely laborious. I'm very impressed that they manage to run a profitable business with such primitive techniques. I think they could easily buy machine-made silk yarn for example, instead of making it all by hand in tiny quantities. and if they used aome modern printing technique, they could probably cut most of the cost, and only experts would even see the difference in the product.
