China-Cambodia Friendship Radio launched

PHNOM PENH, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- The China-Cambodia Friendship Radio (CCFR), a joint FM radio service between China Radio International (CRI) and Radio National of Kampuchea (RNK), was formally launched on Thursday in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia.

The launch of the radio service is part of the activities that have been designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Cambodia, Zhang Jinfeng, Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia, said at the launching ceremony.

With the new radio service in place, its programs will help transmit information and further promote exchanges between the two nations, she added.

Listeners in Phnom Penh and surrounding areas will easily enjoy CCFR programs ranging from news on China and the world to Chinese and Cambodian music programs, according to a press release from CRI.

The CCFR, with a frequency of FM 96.5 MHz, broadcasts from 6 a.m. (2300 GMT) to 24 p.m.(1700 GMT) local time everyday, the release said.

The programs are in Cambodian, Chinese and English, it added.

I was just wondering if people in China could listen to this radio station also. So it's not a one-way transmission broadcasting right?

I guess both countries can enjoy all of what the joint radio station can offer then if it's a two-way station. If it is, that is awesome. China will be Cambodia's friend forever, as well as other Asian countires such as Korea, Japan, and other South-east Asian countrie!!!

The government and the people must build more relationship
with China in order to prevent Yuon from swallowing Cambodia.

What difference does it makes. Cambodia have been swallowed by the French Nazi before, and they still loving it.

3:56AM,

Are you a Vietnamese? Cambodia can always exist as a state under French, China or USA control. Cambodia will disappear from the map if it is under the yuon control.

That's the difference! Got it, sucker?

i don't have any problem with china investing and doing business in cambodia. cambodia is open for business. whoever wants to wait forever to invest or open a business in cambodia, let them wait forever. that said, whoever want to invest and do business may do so, especially for long-term. also, keep in mind when invest and do business in cambodia, of course, it is to help the cambodian economy as well. all is welcome in cambodia. god bless cambodia.

westerners seem to think just the viets had converted their writing by using phonetic alphabets are somethings especially. wait until they try to speak the veitnamese, then they will know there is nothing in common with their english, french, or spanish or whatever. don't let the vietnamese fool you all, westerners, just because their writing is using the romanized letters. remember, looks can be deceiving. khmers would rather keep our ancestors' invented alphabets so we can preserve khmer identity. god bless cambodia.

This is great news. I think many Khmer people would rather have America as a close ally. But America has very little national interest in Cambodia and the U.S. is a close ally of our arch-rival Siam.

What's good about a closer Sino-Cambodia relation is that the Chinese are arch-rivals of the Yuons, just like Cambodia vs. the Siams and Cambodia vs. the Yuons. China wants regional influence but has no interest in annexing Cambodia.

We can't get the West to come our side. The fucking Siams have the US. The Yuons have Russia. We need China...it's not a matter of loving or hating the Chinese. We need them for our own survival.
