Cambodia & Vietnam: tie that needs our measure and evaluation

We have escaped from civil war but dangerously slip into Vietnam's absorbing hole under their "political economy" strategy. We can say China has helped to block Vietnam's hegemony over Cambodia, but how honesty if China allowed Vietnam to take over Cambodia and China will take all this region later. On the other hand, there are evidences that China has pressured Vietnam about border conflict between them both. So truthfully China oppresses Vietnam, Vietnam oppresses Cambodia.


The strengthening tie Cambodian government and Vietnam has created make us wonder in many aspects. Any tie and corporation are good for mutual understanding and development, but the tie between incumbent Cambodian government and Vietnam has showed us only the self-destruction of Cambodia. The following policies might help us to understand more the above claimed ramification:
  • The border demarcation which has been singly helped by Vietnam and their expertise.
  • The national media and Hun Sen have frequently and publicly claimed the legitimacy of Vietnamese troops presence in January 7, 1979.
  • Triangle border zone plan between Cambodia, Vietnam and Lao (of course Vietnam) for development. Japan has already funded this project. But who are Cambodian expertise who take in charge of this plan? Is it only Vietnamese who planned and monitored all those projects?
  • Cambodian airline that is franchising with Vietnam. Of course, no Cambodian expertise and personnel are working or monitoring this company. On the other hand, why Vietnam? Why not Japan, France and others who can also invest this prestigious national airline? Was it pre-arranged for Vietnamese company since the beginning like the concession of Angkor Wat?
  • The listing of Preah Vihea temple to be recognized by UNESCO and the conflict with Thailand...who benefit more, Cambodia or Thailand or Vietnam? ICJ has already recognized Preah Vihea as it is belonged to Cambodia. What is the significance and prudence of listing this temple to UNESCO...Sok An can take the land back from Thailand to Cambodia? Or it is just a policy to forget Vietnam and allow Vietnam to continue take Cambodia land more?
  • etc
Of course there are many things and many words to describe the self-destruction approaches of incumbent Cambodian government. One of the important hypothesis we make here is that when this county is not governed by the rule of laws, the independent court, and democratic principle. We can clearly reiterate that Cambodia has been moving to self-suicide. Under those policies of Hun Sen illustrate the death of Cambodia in the near future. Vietnam will take over our land easily. We have escaped from civil war but dangerously slip into Vietnam's absorbing hole under their "political economy" strategy. We can say China has helped to block Vietnam's hegemony in Cambodia, but how honesty if China allowed Vietnam to take over Cambodia and China will take all this region later. On the other hand, there are evidences that China has pressured Vietnam about border conflict between them both. So truthfully China oppresses Vietnam, Vietnam oppresses Cambodia.

Lao has already fallen into Vietnam's trap, Cambodia is next if the policies and political environment is like the present day.

Khmer cannot be smarter that Yuons so long as Khmer is still under the Yuon domination. "measure&evaluation" cannot take place because puppets have NO rights to argue with their bosses, except saying: forever-yes sirs; otherwise, Hun Sen will surely lose the other eye.

I think you yourself might be afraid to swallow the truth which tastes very bitterly. I am myself brave enough to take the heat of what I have done or said.

China has already dominated CAMBODIA,more then 60 percent of khmers have chineese blood in their bodies and also chineese names.The economic of Cambodia is under China hands.If you looking the job in private sector some Company asks you about chineese language after English.
All the OKNHNAS of CPP are belong to chineese families except SOKIMEX is VIET NAM.

i think speaking the khmer language fluently and assimilation into khmer in the key to success in cambodia. i think if they do this, maybe khmer people wouldn't have too much problem with them. however, think of the infusion in the long terms benefit, though. yes, it takes time to grow. i think it's alright because look around the world, everyone who lived overseas did assimilated someway and that is good for the host country. i think cambodia opening up to do the same here, though it seem bad idea at the present, but long term-wise, i think cambodia will reap the benefit of assimilation into khmer way. if one look everywhere in the world nowadays, everyone is assimilating where they live, so don't deny cambodia this opportunity either. demand respect of local customs and etiquette and demand learning and speaking more khmer language. hey, after all they are in cambodia, you know! and khmer people have the rights to have a strong khmer identity in cambodia, although we accept and tolerate other nationality. think smartly, please! thank you.

I think that all of these comments made a good point. OK, you can say that Cambodia's government has made a wrongful or good decision on Vietnam investment. These investment is like the past imperialism or French colony.
Don't we Khmer use to be a under France and say yes or no to French leaders. Vietnam is a good example of that. Vietnam wanted to dictate powers over Indochina, but yet found barriers from Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia.
Current state Cambodia gain interested from Middle East Asian Nations with strong Muslim culture support. Even Vietnam fear the threat of Champa population that is growing within Cambodia present. Champa is a Muslim country that was annexed into Vietnam and if the Champa Muslim people in Cambodia seek support from Middle East Asia maybe another ISRAEL will be carve out of Vietnam!
I strongly suggest that even though Vietnam swallow Laos, they fear the guts out of themselves. Like they fear Kampuchea Krom from rising into a revolt. By naming Kampuchea Krom people on the their identification card that they had no religion. They use inhumane behavior to suppress the Kampuchea Krom people to be lesser inferior than an average Vietnamese citizen. Who are these Kampuchea Krom they are as Vietnamese citizens!
Yet, Vietnam are fearing problems from China border issues. For which Vietnam wanted those island to open a gate trade to Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
I have doubt if Vietnam was a prosperous land. Look over to Brazil, Chile, Peru and Canada. They gain strong economic foundation from many attributes. Yet the government exchange many hands.
Vietnam have gain many industries from the United States of America like: Cummins and Cargill.
Many United States companies wanted to gain investment opportunities in worldwide market and I'm sure someday into Cambodia like: COMCAST and BUNGE! WAKE UP AND START LOOKING CAMBODIA GOVERNMENT. CAUSE VIETNAM IS ALWAYS DEPEND ON CARGILL FOR AGRICULTURE EXPANSION. WE KHMER CAN DEPEND ON BUNGE, ADM, SYNGENTA, MONSANTO and other UNITED STATES COMPANIES TO STRENGTHEN OUR AGRICULTURE UNDERSTANDING!

i like it when we talk business, investment and development in cambodia. hell to politics, that's old already. cambodia and world have changed a lot since the dark ages. it's time to think smartly and look differently into benefitting the future growth of cambodia and khmer people, etc... god bless cambodia.

Another wrong point of view comes up, if one pcompares French protectorate to Vietnam annexation. Think! France is located thousands of miles from Cambodia, but Vietnam is next door; it wants to annex Cambodia as one og its provinces ,as they did it before.

Nothing can be done as long as ah Hun Sen and his cronies are still in power. Cambodia is Vietnam. And after it's all said and done, Khmer will be Yuon from head to toes and to the backbone!!! Remember ah HUN SEN will have a coffin delivered to your front door if you dare taking about shying away from bloody Vietnam!!! That's a HUN SEN's promise!!!

The answer to all that is obvious...and being spelled out to each and every Khmer already!

Good luck to all Khmer wherever you are!!!

I wish everyone in this blog has a chance to watch a dvd made by Willie Uy living in San Jose, California. He has gone deep to wherever thare are real dirt poor and suffereing people living. As I began to watch it, I thought I would watch just a little bit, but to see all those dirt poor and suffering people, I watched the whole dvd that lasted 6:30 hours. I do not believe that Cambodian people under the leadership of the strongest and richest sam-ach can be that poor and miserable. It's beyond my belief. Why? explain to me, all Hun Sen's advocates and lickpittles.

From 6:15 AM, to those who disagree.

True Vietnam is close, but annexation will require them to boost arms production and build strong military stances. Cause they got Thailand to compete for land agreement or maybe ask for more trouble in the Southeast Asia region.
If, so why did Malaysia and Thailand had problems, when Thais fear Malays population in southern region who can succeed annexation of Thais southern provinces.
Then Vietnam should annex Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia. Which put them at the top list of SECOND TOJO of JAPAN.

HEY, EVEN JAPAN BUILD ARMS AND HAD STRONG ENGINEERS TO MANIPULATE ARMOR INDUSTRIES. WHAT DOES VIETNAM HAVE? PROBLEM OLD WEAPONS FROM VIETNAM WAR IN 1970s. MALFUNCTION OLD ARMOR CALVARY. USA BACKED TECHNOLOGIES AND ENGINEERED EQUIPMENT. NO SELF INTRODUCTION TO WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT ECT.......
IN OTHER WORDS THERE USELESS AT THIS POINT!

Thailand will do no shit to Yuons, What have you seen Thailand doing to Yuons for all these thirty years? Vietnam has NO NEED to boost their military might.

Hanoi is using Sun T'zu's principles to incorporate Cambodia into a state of Viet Indochinese Federation, by dividing cambodians to fight each other.

As a famous American said: " A Nation devided against itself, cannot and will not stand."

Hi, PAL: 7:11AM-

PLEASE READ MORE CHINESE HISTORY OR EVEN WORLD HISTORY TO UNDERSTAND POLITICS AND COLD WARFARE!

Maybe if we Khmer are smarter and more educated we would never be deprived of wealth.

IF ALL KHMER ARE SMART WE WOULD WIN ON ALL CULTURAL INFLUENCES. CREATE OUR OWN CULTURAL UNDERSTANDINGS.

KNOWLEDGE IS A KEY AND MOTIVATION IS THE DOOR TO SUCCESS.

-WITHOUT KHMER BOTH THAILAND(NANCHAO DEFEAT AND NO PLACET TO STAY AND KHMER LEND LAND TO CREATE SUKOTHAI) AND VIETNAM(MONGOL CONQUEST AND MANCHURIAN DEFEAT LEAVE THEM NO WHERE TO STAY BUT IN KHMER LAND!) WOULD NEVER EXIST.

-OUR KIND HEARTS BRING FORTH THE DOOM FUTURE.
:) MAY OUR HISTORY STAND TALL AND TALLEST AS EVER TO GUIDE THE YOUNGER KHMER GENERATION TO UNDERSTAND HARDSHIP, GENEROSITY, INTELLIGENT AND ANCESTOR TRADITIONAL TO MODERNIZE US ALL IN WHICH WE COEXIST PEACEFULLY.

7:12am Before you say another word, just think for a moment.
How the Thieves robbed Khmer Krom's land?
How they Killed off the Chams Muslims people in Champa and take their land?
What a bout Lao? How these Thieves do it? Just explain to the world as much as you can please!

Sok An had sold lots of land to Thailand. So, Preah Vihear just another matter of Hun Sen and Sok An's Problems.

Anonymous said...

Sok An is very smart to create nationalism among Cambodians in order to benefit Vietnam.

Tick on your calendar how Sok An can deal with Thailand about Preah Vihea temple under his effort to list this temple to be recognized by UNESCO.

Cambodian people have been fooled by Sok An to celebrate blindly. The mass media has concertedly broadcasted to provoke nonsense nationalism.

Why Sok An and mass media have never tell Cambodian people to celebrate Angkor Wat when it is listed by UNESCO?

By listing Preah Vihea and Sok An's effort, Vietnam will benefit most from this.

WHAT ABOUT VIETNAM WHO IS LIKE THE UNITED STATES WHO STOLE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS LANDS AND FIGHT MEXICO FOR LANDS THAT IS NOT THEIRS.

THE WORLD DON'T CARE ABOUT KHMER KROM. THE WORLD POWER THEMSELVES DO HORROR IN THE PAST: SLAVES, DRUGS, RAPE, MURDER, AND GENOCIDE.....

LOOK AT GREAT BRITAIN SOLD SLAVES AND MUGGED CHINA FOR MONEY WITH OPIUM DRUGS. ALL 7 NATIONAL SUPERPOWERS MUGGED CHINA FOR BENEFITS DURING 1700s and 1800s.

THE THIEF TAKE LANDS USING LAWS AND POLITICS AND DOING IT ON THE RIGHT TIME....

THOSE WHO SUFFER LIKE MOST KHMER MUST SEEK OPPORTUNITIES TO BEND THE THIEF IDEAS AND FORTUNE....

STEAL THEIR TALENTS AND USE IT FOR OUR PURPOSE....

IF WE LOSE WE LOSE, BUT IF ALL KHMER ARE STRONG THEN, WHY NOT TAKE THE THIEF TO JAIL OR THROW HIM AWAY...

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE SOMETIME AND READ MY SCARED NOTES ABOVE CAMBODIA'S FIVE TEMPLES PILLARS AT ANGKOR, THAT SHINE TO THE STARS ABOVE. AND PLACE FIVE EFFORTS TO BRING OUR HOPE AND JUSTICE BACK TO KHMER LANDS. LET OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE GODS ABOVE BE WITNESS. FOR THEE INTEREST OF GODS CREATION AND FORTITUDE WE SHOULD FOLLOW TO CREATE ANGKOR WAT AND FOR GENERATION TO FOLLOW.

WHY NOW WE LOSE HOPE TO SUCH MISFORTUNE IN TIME? JUST SIT BACK AND PLAN CAREFULLY. NOBODY COULD EVER WIN FOR EVER. BE STRONG AND KEEP OUR WITS HIGH.

IF WE ALL HAVE STRONG CULTURE AND PURSUE FREEDOM THEN IT WILL SOON BE AWARDED.
