In Cambodia's political sphere it is known in general that Sok An is Hun Sen's big guru. Although Hun Sen has been known as the strongman of the Khmer Kingdom, in the current government Sok An is the one who draws the political line for Hun Sen to follow and Hun Sen is only the decision-maker. For this reason, Sok An is called Hun Sen's big guru. Besides, within the Cambodian People's Party [CPP] Hun Sen has also admitted before all CPP leaders that he cannot do his job without Sok An. Therefore, politically speaking, in Cambodia Sok An is Hun Sen's big guru but in the region Beijing is Cambodia's master. Beijing is the master of both Vietnam and Cambodia but Vietnam is China's senior disciple while Cambodia is its junior disciple.
Communism has come to Cambodia from China, not from Vietnam. Nevertheless, Vietnam has succeeded in duping China several times. Although the master and his senior disciple used to fool each other, China was particularly disappointed with Vietnam because the latter betrayed it by switching side to embrace the Soviet Union. Now that the communist Soviet Union and Eastern Europe collapsed Vietnam has returned to its original master. However, the thing that has attracted the attention of the world's diplomatic circles the most is that Hanoi has led its people to stand against Beijing.
In Vietnam a demonstration was recently staged against Beijing concerning the dispute over a number of islets in the South China Sea. Usually the communist Vietnamese Government does not permit demonstrations. Any protest demonstration is immediately crushed. For example, the Khmer people in Kampuchea Krom [southern Vietnam] who demonstrated against Vietnam were immediately suppressed. The ethnic people in Vietnam's high lands who dared to stage demonstrations were also suppressed by Hanoi. However, an anti-Beijing demonstration was instead allowed to go on smoothly. Therefore, this shows that the demonstration was organized by the Vietnamese Government to oppose China, its own master.
Some diplomats said that one good thing in Vietnam is that the government protects or supports demonstrations staged in defense of the country or for the country, which is different from what happens in Cambodia where the Cambodian Government immediately arrests and jails any protesters who demonstrate in defense of their own territory or for their own nation. For example, a number of activists and journalists were not long ago jailed just because they demonstrated in defense of the country's territory and in the interest of their own nation.
Now China, the big guru, has warned Vietnam that the anti-Chinese demonstration by the Vietnamese people would damage bilateral relations. So, when a demonstration was staged to protest against the dispute over the islets in the South China Sea, Beijing warned that this demonstration could undermine the Sino-Vietnamese relations.
Some diplomats said that it is not yet certain if these islets belong to Vietnam or to China because negotiations are still underway. But when China announced that they were theirs Vietnam was very hurt to the point of organizing an anti-Chinese demonstration. Now Vietnam should understand how losing one's territory can hurt. Therefore, Vietnam should also understand the feeling of the Cambodian people who have lost their territory.
According to some diplomats, a number of Cambodian islands have been annexed by Vietnam by just claiming that they belong to Vietnam. Kaoh Tral [Phu Quoc] known since antiquity to be a Cambodian island has already been swallowed up by Vietnam. This loss of territory has greatly hurt the Cambodian people's feeling but they cannot oppose Vietnam. Let alone rising up in and armed protest, they cannot even talk about it because the Hun Sen government would warn or even brutally suppress any Cambodians who dare to raise this issue.
The current Cambodian Government known to be China's disciple but junior to Vietnam does not dare to do anything against Vietnam. It dares not even talk back to Vietnam. In the past, for example, the Hun Sen government crushed any demonstrations against Vietnam, claiming that opposing Vietnam could damage the Cambodian-Vietnamese friendship or relations. Therefore, in order to treasure this word "friendship" the Cambodian leaders would consent to let Vietnam violate against and encroach upon their country at will but would not do anything for fear of losing this "friendship." As a matter of fact, the government did not hesitate to defrock monk Tim Sakhan and send him to Vietnam for questioning and imprisonment.
The diplomats said that actually we should praise the Khmer people in Kampuchea Krom who are under the control of the Vietnamese but are not afraid to rise up against them. This courage is rare; it is like a man in the maw of a tiger who is not afraid to stab at its underbelly. But the Cambodians in Cambodia proper who are not in the maw of the tiger are afraid even to protest or are not allowed by the government to protest. Now Hanoi has shown to its junior disciple how to oppose Beijing, their big master, concerning the dispute over those islets.
Although Vietnam has repeatedly betrayed China in the past Vietnam now feigns staying close to China or having China as its master one more time. While learning from China, Vietnam sometimes stabs at its master from behind. In particular, Cambodia seeing its senior disciple and big master quarrel does not dare to even cough or make a sound. It is quietly worried that Vietnam might order it to issue a statement concerning the dispute over these islets, because all problems involving China and Vietnam are very delicate for Cambodia. It is torn between the two. Whichever side it takes would hurt, for one is its master and the other, the senior disciple, is its benefactor. For this reason, the Cambodian Government is trembling with worry because the senior disciple and the master, Vietnam and China, are quarreling.

You know the killing fields was caused by vietamese not chinese! Uncle Ho or HO-CHI-Mihn desired too much land from cambodia and laos for as far as thailand to ask for permission from soviet russia himself. Unlike vietam who words are beyond china. Example look at Khmer krom. As for china Tibet. I cant believe you all still believe vietam is innonce. you should ask top generals and politicans during Lon Nol regime to find the truth about viet-cong and saigon troops from the south who invade cambodia soil for one particular reason. Will if you think vietam is a free state why they speak now! Why not during Uncle HO time everyone knows china can be communist but change according to US and foriegn influence. While vietnam is a back stabber. they never care about true freedom and careless. Unlike we Khmer who fought hard for it. While they lack that until now they cry for freedom please all because they wanted power from United States to help them again and fool america to go to war. You ever see any saigon troops who fought for real in vietnam war? Never only fooling americans to think that there is a war for freedom. You see no killing field in vietnam why cause they are fake!!!!!!!!!!! When mao won china he kill when Ho won viet nothing happen. Fake. Fake. Fake. Vietnamese are good I know them too well. i went to university and my professor is vietamese he is so fake I say. And believe me alot of people say so. Not just me.
Cambodia has no master.
But Hunsen is a slave of the vietcong: They put him in power by the blooded coup d'etat in 1997.
Go out vietcong slave.
The People of Cambodia DOES NOT belong to any other country. It is the CPPs that worry about not having a Masters because without a master CPP cannot ACT COGNITIVELY INDEPENDENT.
If HunSen's not afraid of people, he WOULD by now would give freedom to the people of Cambodia. Then the country would be prosper more economically.
AH HUN SEN has only two options:
He can choose to be slave or he can choose to die!
We have two stupids leaders: Sihanouk and Hunsen.
The first one is the most stupid because he believe that chineses prefer Cambodians than vietnameses : it is wrong , wrong and wrong.
1)China and Vietnam are communists.
2)vietnameses are also the south chineses people who gain their independence.
3)Chineses are buisnesmen, they work with the rich country and play game with the beggar country.
Cambodia wont earn anything from China and will lose more lands to Vietnam.
Sihanouk made mistakes to trust China and now he is making the same mistakes.
Sihanouk in 1960's always declared that China was the only country that helped Cambodia without Conditions, without interfering in internal affairs of Cambodia unlike America. Now Hun Sen is barking the same tone as Sihanouk. Hun Sen tends to overlook the fact that Pol Pot had ruled the country for 3 years and 8 months because of of China's help. The end result was we lost about two millions in Cambodian's life. Hun Sen never learn from the past in commenting about China's aid.
I think that those stupids leaders will make the blooded Cambodia history repeating again.
I wonder If Cambodia will have a very good leader one day (like me).
