Sorry Taiwan, you are not communist enough to set feet in Cambodia: Hun Sen's warning

Hun Sen Warns Local Officials Off Taiwan

By Chun Sakada, VOA Khmer
Original report from Phnom Penh
28 January 2009


Prime Minister Hun Sen warned local government officials on Wednesday they would not be allowed to travel to Taiwan, nor any Taiwan officials to Cambodia.

We cannot make any political or diplomatic relations with Taiwan,” Hun Sen said in public remarks to launch new decentralization legislation. “But we can make trade relations with Taiwanese people.”

Cambodia officially recognizes a one-China policy, which considers Taiwan a rogue province. There is no official office here for Taiwan, though there are some businesses.

“Businessmen will be allowed to come to Cambodia, and civil airlines company, private airline companies from Taiwan, EVA Air and China Air, can fly from Taipei to Phnom Penh, but not planes with Taiwanese flags,” Hun Sen said. “We won’t allow Taiwanese national flights into Cambodia.”

Cambodia has passed the Law on Administrative Management for Provincial, District and Municipal Councils, which allows commune councils to elect other councils for the three other levels of sub-national government. The first election will be held May 17.

Hun Sen’s speech was a warning to would-be members of these councils that though they would have some power outside of the central government, the central government would control foreign policy.

“Cambodian politicians will not be allowed to go to Taiwan,” he said. “And Taiwanese political officials will not be allowed in Cambodia, including members of parliament and presidential advisers.

Let’s not lose sight of those heads of state who terrorize and abuse the rights of their own people.
PARADE’s Annual List Of...The World’s 10 Worst Dictators
By David Wallechinsky
Publication Date: 01/22/2006
Meet the Contenders A “dictator” is a head of state who exercises arbitrary authority over the lives of his citizens and who cannot be removed from power through legal means. The worst commit terrible human-rights abuses. This present list draws in part on reports by global human-rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty International. While the three worst from 2005 have retained their places, two on last year’s list (Muammar al-Qaddafi of Libya and Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan) have slipped out of the Top 10—not because their conduct has improved but because other dictators have gotten worse.

1) Omar al-Bashir, Sudan. Age 62. In power since 1989. Last year’s rank: 1

Since February 2003, Bashir’s campaign of ethnic and religious persecution has killed at least 180,000 civilians in Darfur in western Sudan and driven 2 million people from their homes. The good news is that Bashir’s army and the Janjaweed militia that he supports have all but stopped burning down villages in Darfur. The bad news is why they’ve stopped: There are few villages left to burn. The attacks now are aimed at refugee camps. While the media have called these actions “a humanitarian tragedy,” Bashir himself has escaped major condemnation. In 2005, Bashir signed a peace agreement with the largest rebel group in non-Islamic southern Sudan and allowed its leader, John Garang, to become the nation’s vice president. But Garang died in July in a helicopter crash, and Bashir’s troops still occupy the south.


2) Kim Jong-il, North Korea. Age 63. In power since 1994. Last year’s rank: 2

While the outside world focuses on Kim Jong-il’s nuclear weapons program, domestically he runs the world’s most tightly controlled society. North Korea continues to rank last in the index of press freedom compiled by Reporters Without Borders, and for the 34th straight year it earned the worst possible score on political rights and civil liberties from Freedom House. An estimated 250,000 people are confined in “reeducation camps.” Malnourishment is widespread: According to the United Nations World Food Program, the average 7-year-old boy in North Korea is almost 8 inches shorter than a South Korean boy the same age and more than 20 pounds lighter.


3) Than Shwe, Burma (Myanmar). Age 72. In power since 1992. Last year’s rank: 3

In November 2005, without warning, Than Shwe moved his entire government from Rangoon (Yangon), the capital for the last 120 years, to Pyinmana, a remote area 245 miles away. Civil servants were given two days’ notice and are forbidden from resigning. Burma leads the world in the use of children as soldiers, and the regime is notorious for using forced labor on construction projects and as porters for the army in war zones. The long-standing house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi, winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize and Than Shwe’s most feared opponent, recently was extended for six months. Just to drive near her heavily guarded home is to risk arrest.

This is call racist and bias. This is because Cambodian’s government bows to China for aid and support and wants to be China’s graft.

Taiwan does not heed for not having diplomatic relationship with Cambodia. If Cambodia does not recognize us, we still have other friends in the world.

This is political bias. China is trying hard lobbying for support in order to undermine Taiwan. Taiwanese will decide its own freedom, destiny and choose to live under its own democracy and will not live under communist China control.

Taiwan is more advance and wealthy and strong enough in self-defense from any aggressor.

Hunxen should close the yuon border and tell yuon to go home!

This regime is nothing. They beg money from foreigners and also think that they’re tough and good. They should make more friends and neutral toward Taiwan’s sovereignty, but they bear to China’s order and call themselves INDEPENDENT AND DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY?

China buys his head for big time just like they did to Pol Pot.

Let's pray for his sould, folks.

This is not such a bad idea when you can trade a stone with a diamond.

That is why Chinese gave those 200+ motorcycles to Hun Sen's bodyguards. "A Chinese company has donated 220 motorcycles to the bodyguard Unit of Prime Minister Hun Sen for the protection of the prime minister and senior officials and to use as motorcades when the prime minister travels on land".

From previous post.

No wonder why Taiwan is not communist enough to set foot in Cambodia. Hun Sen's brain sockets are fully stuffed with Vietnamese excrement; it's the communist's excrement.

I told you so, they, the CPP and it country king are communist people..now some of you starting to believing about this manipution.

Cambodia is a bagger country under Ah Kwack Makack leadership. If he has a vision to make the country more advances, he would have done it a long time ago. He prefers to do it slowly and to make Cambodia looks broke and in need helps from foreigners so that he can beg for more money.

As long as he still alive, he will continue bagging for money and self proclaim that Cambodia is not a poor country and tells the world that Cambodia democracy is moving forward. He always makes it contradict himself.

What a hypercritic Chimpanzee he is!

Cambodia must observe the chinese's "one china policy" if it wants China to support the Cambodian "one Cambodia policy" in return.

Anonymous said...

Yep, there could no be anything more important than the "one china" policy for Cambodia. Right now, a lot of province want to split. Some wants to to Viet, some one to go to Lao, while other want to go to Thai.

Accordingly, their won't be much left worth calling Cambodia.

Dear all,

I would suggest the PM Hun Sen to immediately find out a deal on how to help Cambodian women victims who have been forcing to work/ or under sexual abuse in Taiwan rather than speaking about flight or no flight from/to Taiwan.

As i know, hundreds of Cambodian women in Taiwan are victims or sexual exploitation, hard home working, and violence.

It is a strong human rights abuse that the RGC should asap take measure against such a terrible issue.

hey, the way i see it is mr. hun sen has his freedom of expression just like you guys, too, so, what the big fuss about just a personal expression as long as it not foul-language or personal attack or something along that line. i see nothing wrong with that! go figure. didn't you guys have your penchant for critic as well, so, what is a big fuss about mr. hun sen's remark, given if it's true in the first place. hey, everyone is different; that's what make the world so beautiful! go figure!
