Celebrating Killing Field stupid head!
remember the retired king is a private citizen now, so his opinion and support of china is his business and doesn't reflect the whole cambodia as a country. and please forget, even the former king has rights, too, to support china if he want to in his retirement years as he has nothing against china, just like some countries in the world supports and be friends their allies. i see no difference. a private citizen is a private citizen; please politicize that and please don't make it more complicated than it already isn't. thank you.
