Cambodia Supports China in The Defense of Her Sovereignty Over The South China Sea

17 June 2011

CAMBODIA SUPPORTS CHINA IN THE DEFENSE OF HER SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA

On behalf of the Cambodian people, the 28 elected Members of Parliament (26 National Assembly Members and two Senators) from the Sam Rainsy Party would like to express their support to, and their solidarity with, the Peoples’ Republic of China at a time when this great friend and ally of Cambodia is rightfully asserting its sovereignty over the South China Sea including the Spratly Islands and the Paracel Islands.

We have been denouncing and condemning Vietnam’s arrogance and groundless claims to territories belonging to neighboring countries. The continuous violation of Cambodia’s territorial integrity by expansionist Vietnam and the bellicist position Hanoi is adopting in South East Asia and in the South China Sea constitute a serious threat to peace and stability in the region.

We urge Vietnam to stop stirring up tensions with provocative military exercises and to stop using her current position as chair of the Association of South East Asian Nations to try to internationalize any conflict Hanoi wants to exacerbate in the South China Sea.

I believe that this problem of tension between China and Vietnam will make CPP big headache. If they are supporting China, they will be dead ducks. I believe that SRP and HRP are making the right move by supporting China. I believe that it is a good time SRP and HRP must write their support to Chinese foreign ministry or to their Ambassador for their statement to take this opportunity for Chinese support.
Cambodia can only be supported by China for her survival from Vietnamese invasion. If SRP is supported by China, SRP will be succeeded in taking up as Government for Cambodia into the future. But after having good relationship with China, this party must use all this country aids for Cambodian people and do not use them to strengthen their own party like Pol Pot or Hun Sen as China is the only country whose do not interfere with other country internal affairs for their aids.

This is a critical moment for Hun Sen to decide. I think Hun Sen will side CHINA anyway because China has had pouring a lot of money into the Kingdom. I think this is the time for HUN SEN to say, hey YOUN "look I don't want you anymore". I owed a lot to China. On the other hand you have suck up a lot of resources from Cambodia and wanted to swallow us up. This is the time I have new boss.

Nope, there is no way for Viet to go to Russia like before. They have not paid Russian back all their debts yet. Look at this movement with Russia and China. They are more close than before.

Chinese President Hu Jintao and his Russian counterpart Medvedev met Thursday for talks on deepening the China-Russia strategic partnership of cooperation.

MOSCOW, June 16 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev met here Thursday for talks on deepening the China-Russia strategic partnership of cooperation.

The two leaders are also expected to discuss major world and regional issues of common interest during the meeting, their second this year.

Hu is scheduled to meet Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin later in the day.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, and also the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Russia strategic and cooperative partnership.

In a written interview with Russian media on the eve of his current trip, Hu said, "With President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin, I will review the achievements and experience of the bilateral relationship's development over the past decade and set goals for the ties in the next decade by mapping out the cooperation outline in various sectors."

Hu added that the China-Russia strategic partnership of cooperation will be brought to new levels in the next 10 years through joint efforts, saying that the relationship will make more achievements, bring more benefits to the two peoples, and make its due contribution to global and regional peace, security and stability.

"It is my belief that this Russia tour will bring fresh vigor to the sustained, healthy and stable development of the China-Russia strategic partnership of cooperation in the second decade of the century," he said.


In the past decade, the development of China-Russia ties has made remarkable progress. Political and strategic mutual trust between the two nations have deepened continuously. The two sides have established mechanisms for high-level exchange of visits and all-round cooperation.

The two nations have become each other's major trading partners, and have worked closely together in dealing with major world and regional affairs.

Two months ago, the Chinese and Russian presidents met for their first meeting this year on the sidelines of a BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) summit in the southern Chinese beach resort of Sanya, and the two leaders agreed to further improve cooperation and safeguard common interests.

Hu flew in from Astana Wednesday after concluding a visit to Kazakhstan and attending a Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit there.

From Moscow, Hu will travel to St. Petersburg to attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. He is expected to deliver a speech at the forum.

Now SRP supports China,which game they are playing?

This is not a good sign for Vietnam. I know from history, Cambodia and China is the closest friend since day one even in the ancient time. You all got to know that during the time when Khmer Empire controlled SEA, we cooperated with China even sent our cookers to China to cook for Chinese king.

It is time for HUN SEN to think TWICE now....

If HUN SEN publicly support China,he should also increase the number of his bodyguards.Yuon will take on him inevitably.Yuon is not going to put up with betrayal.

I surely hope the SRP are calculating their stance right. Just because Vietnam is our mortal enemies and in some way trying to expand their territories in difference way. We shouldn't always see China as our hero.

Remember when they gave Cambodia the wink and Hun Sen returned the Chinese descendants back right away?

Lets not forget who they support during the year 1975-1979.

Don`t get me wrong. I don`t like the Viet government anymore than anyone else here but SRP or the CPP should be careful who they support.

Who owns and run most business aspect in Cambodia? China!

China has poured, pouring a lot of money into the kindom of Cambodia. On the other hand Vietnam gave nothing instead they continue to plundering Cambodian's natural resources.

I think China is the new BOSS of Cambodia now.

Well...It is all boiling down to who has the money! China invests billion of dollars in Cambodia!

Money talk! Cambodia is a dirt poor country and desperately need money to develop the country!

I side with China economically and militarily! And geographically China is very closed to Cambodia and some of Cambodian thuggish neighbors!

Hanoi must have foreseen this tension with China over the South China Sea potentially leading to a major confrontation for a while.

With the US publicly voicing displeasure over China's claim over this stretch of international water, the Vietnamese maybe looking to agitate the US even more by provoking Beijing and hoping increased tension will result in US war ships being despatched to the region where Vietnam will be their most eager ally and port of call.

If I'm not mistaken, this is what Hanoi is banking on: by exploiting Washington's fear of losing control over this vital international waterway it hopes to gain a committed patron that will be strong enough (like the former Soviet Union in Ho Chi Minh's time) to shield Vietnam from the Chinese threat.

Indeed, the Vietnamese are appealing to the US and other regional alliances to help 'resolve' the tension over the dispute. It helps that other members of ASEAN such as the Philippines and Malaysia also lay claims over those islands. But, the most crucial issue for Hanoi is political rather than economic or sovereignty claims over distant islands: Vietnam needs an ally-patron as a counterweight to growing Chinese power and influence in the region. Failing to gain such a patron will not bode well for her national security.

The US will, for her part, try to avoid military confrontation with China especially involving a nation (Vietnam) where she learned a painful lesion. But she has to let Beijing know that there is limit to Chinese expansion and control in the Asia-Pacific Rim region.

Cambodia's fate depends on how she interacts with all 3 players: US, China and Vietnam, the former 2 could offer her decisive opportunities with which to lessen her dependence on and bondage to Hanoi. The US may not be able to do much towards this end given her geo-political concerns beside offering limited inter-governmental assistance. But China is in a far better position to do so, and Khmer nationalists, including Opposition groups should seek Chinese financial support needed to build up a nationwide movement or network capable of supplanting the existing Vietnamese installed CPP economic patronage arrangement.


That's all, folk. Thank you for reading.

Remember, China supported khmer rouge to kill 2 millions plus khmer people in the 70s .In the 60s,China publicly supported Sihanouk,but behind the scene,she nurtured POLPOT to topple him .Chinese is very tricky,stab in the back type of people.Whoever thought that China is friend ,you are deadly wrong.

Don't side with either one.Just pray that yuon and China kill each other.

Mr Sam Rainsy, Why don't you sue PM Hun Sen as you promise to us Cambodian people and your true supporters?

Are you tried to bargain or negotiate with PM Hun Sen again like 2005 lawsuit at America??? Why?? Why??

We want to see Mr Sam Rainsy act as he said to sue PM Hun Sen in every democracy Countries court of justice around the world.

We want the results as transparency, from your progress in suing PM Hun Sen in every court of justices!!!

We are Cambodian people afraid that you are just using the lawsuit to scare PM Hun Sen than when PM Hun Sen gives you (Mr Sam Rainsy) green light. You again, hang your Lawsuit like 2005.

Mr Sam Rainsy, You must do as you said, otherwise you the same as Mr Kim Soka.

Mr Sam Rainsy, where are your law suit VS Hun SEn in America Court of justice? We want to see and hear the stories transparency because we afraid that you are just try to bargain with Hun Sen like 2005 again.

We Cambodian people as well as your supporters are waiting to see your real action in suing PM Hun Sen (In America Court of justice, all countries’ court of justice in Europe, Japan Court of justice, Australia Court of justice, New Zealand court of justice, Canada court of Justice, UN court of justice, World Human Right court of justice, NATO court of justice…) as you Mr Sam Rainsy said.

Mr Sam Rainsy must do as you said OK. Don’t you dare to bargain with PM Hun Sen like 2005 again?

May be you can’t be Prime Minister of Cambodia because of unfair election as 5-6 million Vietnamese votes for Hun Sen and Hun Sen add up his cheating skill in every election but you can be a great Khmer Hero by suing PM Hun Sen about the facts that he has done to Cambodia and Cambodian people so far.

If you Can’t be Prime Miniter due unfair election all the times but Mr Sam Rainsy, you can gives a great stain to PM Hun Sen and CPP Vietnam slave about their crimes against Cambodian people since 1970 until today.

I think Hun Sen is having a problem in voicing his opinion to support one of his best friends . If he support Viet he will lose alot of financial help from China but if he support China he will make his boss Viet upset and SRP has been showing their support of China . Will Hun Sen follow SRP ?

To Poster 8.58AM,
You misunderstood about China and USA. China is the second biggest economy after USA. But China is the richest country i the world by their National GDP and their foreign reserves of over 3 trillions dollars. USA is indeed the poorest government by having overseas debts of more than 14.5 trillions dollars. But for average personal income, China is still far below than USA and Australia.

Areak Prey,

The US debts and China's riches are just paper values. The low-cost production and manufacturing capacities that have fueled China's growth were once dominated by the US. The US still has capability to do all these things, too.

As much as America should be concerned about the high debts, the default on these debts will not bring down only the US, it will drag China's economy down as well. So, the Chinese dare not to disturb the setup.

The bottom line, is the capital/wealth controllers every where in the world are the ones who are now making rains and thunders in the market. For the little people, we will continue to be labor slaves in either capitalist, or communist format for a long time. The elites with money will use the ones they setup with power to control the mass.

After having lived through all these two systems, I don't see or expect to see any major difference between the two systems.

The little regional actors like the vietcongs or siameses are just tools for the big wig powers to use to legitimize their global roles and positions.

It is so obvious that SRP members of Parliament are really good in policizing the events inside and outside Cambodia, aim to gain a cheap political score. How dare 26 MPs and 2 senators announce that "On behalf of Cambodian people" (Sic) Only the government is representative of Cambodian people, but not opposition.

Look at the last paragragh of this article, it stated that "We urge Vietnam to stop....using her current position as chair of ASEAN to internationalize...." This confirmed that all SRP MPs are really blinded to say such as this statement. In fact, the current chair of ASEAN is Indonesia.

There is not difficulty or headache to deal with China--Vietnam dispute in the Spratly Island. Remember, when Cambodia--Thailand conflict have occured on 4-7 February and late April 2011, China and Vietnam have stated that Cambodia and Thailand are their good friends and they urged both sides to solve the problem according to international law in peaceful manner. Therefore, Cambodian government can say the same thing to both China and Vietnam.

It is so obvious that CPP members of Parliament are really good in policizing the events inside and outside Cambodia, aim to gain a cheap political score. How dare 90 plus MPs always agree with Hun Sen on every agendas. Not even a single member ever vote against any thing any bill that Hun Sen introduces? They just not their head like the trained seals at the aquarium.

Look at the last paragragh of this article, it stated that "We urge Vietnam to stop....using her current position as chair of ASEAN to internationalize...." This confirmed that all CPP MPs are really blinded, stupid and traitors who care nothing about their country.

There is difficulty and headache to deal with China--Vietnam dispute in the Spratly Island. Remember, China pumps billions of $ into Cambodia vs Vietnam who has done nothing but stealing from Cambodia, lands, lumbers and illegal immigrants etc. But each time when Hanoi thinks that Cambodia wants to turn to China, Hanoi always send the hi level delegations such as their prime minister or top ranking army commanders to Cambodia to put pressure on Hun Sen

Personally, I wish that China would teach Vietnam a very bitter lesson that they will never forget.

I think Khmer in Sydney CBD is correct to say that all MPs are blinded to state that Vietnam is current chair of ASEAN. This is the most embarrasing and shameful that Cambodian opposition is not known that Indonesia is a current chair of ASEAN. SRP MPs are so dumn like this, how can Cambodian people trust them to lead the country?
