Cambodian PM assures Chinese official of strengthened cooperation

Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed his appreciation to China for the generous help and aid it has extended to the kingdom for its economic construction and social development in the past years, while meeting Liang Guanglie, visiting chief of general staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army on Monday.

As Cambodia and China enjoy close and friendly ties, both leaders exchange visits frequently and cooperation in various fields is carried out well, he said.

Cambodia will strengthen its cooperation with China in the future, he said.

Meanwhile, Cambodia sticks to the One China policy and opposes any activity that advocates Taiwan independence, he added.

Liang said that the current Chinese-Cambodian ties develop well and that the two sides have maintained frequent top-level contacts.

The cooperation and exchange in various fields keep on expanding and the economic and trade cooperation bears fruits, he said.

In addition, the military ties as an important part of the bilateral ties have also grown smoothly in recent years, he added.

Liang also extended thanks to the Cambodian government for its adherence to the One China policy, opposes Taiwan independence clearly and consistently supports the peaceful unification of China.

On Monday, Liang also met with Deputy Prime Minister and Co-Minister of Defense Tea Banh to discuss bilateral military ties.

Liang arrived here on Saturday night on the first stop of his goodwill Asia tour which also includes Laos, Myanmar and Thailand.

He will leave for Laos on Tuesday.

"One-China policy" can also mean one "Republic of China." The People's Republic of China should stop labelling support for the Republic of China as "Taiwan independence" if it is to have any hope of peaceful reunification.

I don't know if Cambodia can depend on China in time of war! If the Chinese are so God damn powerful and why they couldn't eliminate all the Vietcong influence from Cambodia?

I reason that China will never help Cambodia to the point where Cambodia can fully protect herself from the Vietcong! For Cambodia to defeat the Vietcong mean that Cambodia is trying to play China role in Indochina! China want to be seen the sole Super Power in Indochina!

China help Cambodia so much that Cambodian cann't even protect her border from the Vietcong, Loa, and the Siam!
