In his confrontation with the east and west, Cambodia can avoid becoming a Chinese protectorate after the French protectorate?
Cambodia can win on Preah Vihear by choosing to become a Chinese protectorate?.

The anti Chinese feeling are perceptible all around the world to day.
The economic problem and human rights oppose China and Europe

Europe and US has lost many and thousands jobs in front of the increase in importance
of the Chinese economy.

The U.S. and China disputes the leadership of the world.

Japan, India, and Russia did not look favourably on the emergence of China on the
the global economy .

China is seen by all countries as a threat, an adversary, a competitor than an ally as truly objective.

All the countries of the South-East Asia and the big part of Asia which possess the powerful chinese colonies in their countries are afraid of the Chinese expansionism which Is not a political myth to frighten the others but the reality.
Vietnam is more afraid than other Asian countries because Vietnam is a former country colonized by Chinese.

Thai nationalists did not make a mistake in their political and strategic calculation when they attacked Cambodia on Preah vihear .
Because the thais nationalists also count on the anti-Chinese feeling and the support of the other Asian nationalists against the Chinese expansionism in the region.

The Indo-Chinese federation was a political myth which is used to frighten some countries of the South-East Asia during the cold war and it is the past.But today, the Chinese expansionism is the reality and the real threat for all nationalists South Asian countries.

If Cambodia has problems with Thailand and Vietnam,
Thailand and Vietnam have more very good relationships than bad relationships now day after the Cold War is over.
The fear of Chinese expansionism can to draw closer Vietnam and Thai nationalists. It is their common interest and they can become objective allies with asean against Chinese expansionism in the South-East Asia

Cambodia does not reassure other members of ASEAN by playing completely the China’s card.

becareful, viet/youn military intervention is no more than invasion and stake claim or steal of khmer lands, seas, territories, etc, etc. remember the mekong delta region and koh tral, etc! yes, viet/youn stole them from cambodia, you know!

Hahaha... these 3 posters didn't even read anything or didn't even understand the Yuon's policies toward Khmers are the same since 400's years ago. The history was about how Youn entered Srok Khmer. It was Srok Khmer was under threat between Siam and Youn. Khmer must choose one to be enemy and one is friend, but cannot be both. The Intervention was that Khmers fought Khmers and called Yuon to help. There was a big spy in Oudong ready to destroy Khmers, and the past is the same as this present. Youn created and supported Pol Pot, and Pol Pol vs. Lon Nol, then Youn created and supported Hun Sen vs. Pol Pot, so they both fight, and one of them invited Youn to intervene. Yeah Intervention leads to invasion.

Viets have used the same strategy in the beginning until today toward Cambodia. sent spies to live among Cambodians then provoked a fight between Khmers, then accused one side of Khmers invade their country which was always lied. It was a way to invade and the foreigners can say nothing. The first time Viets accused Khmer King invading their country that one lie, second lie was they provoked a fight between Hun Sen group vs. Pol Pot group, then they created the kind of invasion at the border and saying it was Pol Pot who invaded Vietnam. The Viets were always among Khmer rouge and have been until to day. Then the Viets told the international community that they had to invade Cambodia to free Cambodians because Pol Pot invaded Vietnam.
Viets created Pol Pot to fight Lon Nol, then created Hun Sen vs. Pol Pot. Right Intervention is invasion.
