I'm little bit disappointed by Mrs Clinton action toward Cambodoa : She met Khmer
leader first but she did not introduce US businessmen to him . She is going to meet
Myanma President and introduces him to US businessmen . Is everything in Cambodia taken over by China , nothing left for US ...

បញ្ហា សមុទ្រចិនខាងត្បូងនេះ បន្តិចវាជាលសេស
នៃសង្រ្កាមរវាងចិន និង អាស៊ាន រហូតរាលដាល
ដល់ប្រទេសជប៉ុនទៀត ព្រោះតែមិហិច្ឆតាដ៏លោភ
លន់របស់ចិន ចិននឹងវាយយកប្រទេសទាំងឡាយ
ក្នុងតំបន់អាស៊ីអាគ្នេយ៍។ពេលនោះហើយយើងចាំ
មើលថាតើមហាអំណាចលេខ១ក្នុងពិភពលោក
នឹងបានទៅប្រទេសណា?ហេតុអ្វីក៏ដូច្នោះ ព្រោះ
រាប់ច្រើនសតវត្សមកហើយ យើងពុំដែលឃើញ
មានព្រឹត្តិការណ៍ចម្លែកនេះកើតឡើងទេ គោល
បំណងពិតចិនចង់កំចាយអាមេរិក ឱ្យចាកចេញ
ពីអាស៊ីអាគ្នេយ៍ ដើម្បិងាយស្រួលក្នុងការគ្រប់គ្រង
ប្រទេសទាំងនោះ។បំណងរបសើចិនគឺចង់ឱ្យប្រទេស
ខ្មែរ យួន លាវ ឈ្លោះប្រកែកគ្នារួចហើយនឹងទិញ
អាវុធពីចិន ដើម្បីការពាររៀងៗខ្លួន។
ចំណែកអាមេរិក វិញទើបតែដឹងខ្លួនថា ប្រធានាធិ
បតីរបស់ខ្លួន ជាអ្នកគាំទ្រ ប្រទេសរបបផ្ដាច់ការ
ដូច្នេះយើងឃើញ អំពើភារវកម្មទាំងឡាយមាន
សភាពស្ងប់ស្ងាត់ តាំងពីលោក អូបាមាឡើងកាន់
ដំណែងថ្មី។

Lon Nol got a 100+ million dollars loan from USA , now we have to pay back
about 1/2 billion dollars . Imagine ! Up to now we owe CHINA and others about
6 billion dollars , after 30+ years how much debt do our children and grandchildren
shall have to pay ? Yes ! We build many roads and highways with poor qualities
beside failing to protect them effectively from overloaded trucks , acid & chemical
spilled of trucks carrying clot rubber raisin everyday , we have to borrow more
Loan to repair the old infrastructures as well as building new ones . Our PM works
so hard , putting decree out , announcing on radio & TV, newspapers ,but his orders were not enforced effectively due to corruption or impunity . Plenty of fish
but they are not free or may be the bait has more value than the fish itself .
