China’s Official State News Agency Slams Hun Sen, CPP


By Alex Willemyns and Mech Dara
The Cambodia Daily, December 6, 2013

The official press agency of the Chinese Communist Party on Wednesday published an article that rebukes the government of Prime Minister Hun Sen for failing to deal with political unrest in Cambodia and calls for “serious and deep reforms” in the country over the next five years.

The Xinhua News Agency, whose output is tightly controlled by China’s government, notes the discord in Cambodia since the “disputed general election” on July 28 and cites a number of political analysts in the country calling on Mr. Hun Sen to act swiftly “to restore his popularity.”

The report cites political analyst Sok Touch, in his capacity as a deputy institute director at the official Royal Academy of Cambodia, explaining that Mr. Hun Sen’s declining popularity stems from the CPP’s refusal to reform.

Mr. Touch “attributed the falling popularity of Hun Sen and his party to cronyism, rampant corruption, forced evictions, illegal immigration and lack of an independent judicial report,” it says, emphasizing the effect on youth.


“The majority of young people have supported [opposition leader] Sam Rainsy and voted for the CNRP in Cambodia, where 30 percent of the country’s population of 14.68 million is aged between 15 and 24.”

“Another reason the CPP has lost so many supporters during the past five years is that although the country has seen a sustainable economic growth…many poor people have not been benefitted by this growth,” it adds.

Such grievances toward Mr. Hun Sen from youth and the poor, as well as widespread doubts about the validity of July’s election results, have contributed to a worrying state of instability in Cambodia, the report explains.

“Four months after the election, Cambodia is still trapped in political unrest as the opposition has continued boycotting parliament in protest against the election results,” it says.

The National Election Committee gave the CNRP 55 of the 123 seats in the National Assembly in September, but the opposition party has been boycotting those seats and has held mass demonstrations demanding an investigation.

The CNRP has planned weekly demonstrations in Phnom Penh against the CPP government’s legitimacy starting on December 15.

The Xinhua report, which represents an unprecedented and extraordinary attack on the government of Mr. Hun Sen from the state mouthpiece of China, one of the prime minister’s closest allies, ends by quoting two government officials defending the CPP’s recent moves to begin reforms.

It quotes both Ros Chantrabot, an adviser to Mr. Hun Sen, and Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, as saying reforms will take time to implement.

“We have to wait at least two or three years to see results,” Mr. Chantrabot is quoted as saying.

Political analyst Kem Ley, who is quoted in the Xinhua report as saying he does not believe Mr. Hun Sen is capable of reform in light of his behavior since the July election, said Thursday that the article was a warning from China.

“China needs to maintain the situation here, they need the hand of Cambodia in Asean and on the South China Sea dispute—they need stability here,” Mr. Ley said.

Mr. Touch said that the scathing public rebuke of Mr. Hun Sen was a message from China’s pragmatic leaders that reform can no longer be considered a game by CPP leaders.

“The Chinese are afraid Cambodia could fall into a similar situation to Thailand, and therefore the Chinese want the government to institute these reforms,” he said.

Mr. Siphan said the article from the Chinese state agency was not a rebuke of Mr. Hun Sen or the CPP, but a reasonable assessment of the state of politics in the country.

“We, as an independent state, do not need anyone’s orders to do anything. We ourselves are committed to do things better,” Mr. Siphan said, adding that reforms are underway.

it's good that the international community don't always take sides all the time. when they see good, they should praise; when they see bad, they should also give constructive criticism. that is how cambodia can improve! thank you!

friendship is separate from ability to reform or improve. it goes with everybody, too!

China is smelling somethings fishy with the recent Cambodian unconstitutional gov't and China doesn't want its investment to be jeopardized. Why wait for a few years and not now to reform an Independent Election Committee? There must be still a large amount of diamonds to be harvested, isn't it. The CNRP has done excellent jobs and earning a historical records. Keep up your the great works boys. It is just a matter of time, it will be fruitful.

Hun Sen has no academic credentials and personal qualities to lead or reform Cambodia the way it should be.

Hun Sen surrounds himself with yes men and opportunists, and backed by Hanoi as he serves Hanoi's plan to take over Cambodia.

Hun Sen is not a close ally of China, he only pretends to be one, as he and Hanoi know very well that China has the money to keep his regime funded, so that gives Hanoi the time to complete its Vietnamization and annexation of Cambodia.

And China has the international political cloud that Hun Sen can use or abuses to legalize his unlawful regime.

So watch out China, the winner in the end is Hanoi not Beijing if China is not careful.

I don't think Phay Siphan is an effective communicater. He is a one way street talker.
He is limited to knowledge to sufficiently listen and explain details of matters.
And that id why people call him a PARROT.

Cambodian never need a Hun Sen's reform, all Cambodian wanted Hun Sen to go now. All Cambodian are very sick of a 30 years dictatorship. China must demand Hun Sen to step down now for election fraud and cheating. China must ask Hun Sen to pay back all donations now and transfer those money to CNRP to help the poor and homeless Khmer people.

Phai Siphorm and Hun Shit are traitor for Cambodia. All they care is MONEY&POWER. Re. Phai Siphorm gave answer to the question, NONE SENSE! It's one sided brain and benefit to CRIMINAL PARTY only.

We, Khmer peoples must remove them by any means necessary before they give our motherland to the Vietcong. Because according to their brainless business, sonner or later Cambodia will become second Kampuchea Krom, if we're not becarefull.

Hun and CPP are VC and if China wants Cambodia to clean up their act, just look into Viet. Viet and China have made certain agreement to allow Viets to do whatever they wanted to Cambodia, in order for them both to share its wealth. Therefore, Chinese needs to stop playinng around as if you don't like Hun Sen attitude e.g who is Hun Sen? wasn't he being installed by the VC and CH? just look around, when Hun in trouble who provided him with atileries e.g guns and bullets and who provided with such armed from forces? every elections, both Viets and China are the ones who is helping in the killing of poor innocent khmers e.g during the Funcipic, hundreds of their members been killed in cold blood just because they are in the wrong side of their group and in 1997 granate attack...the list of killing our educaton ones goes on and on from 1975 to these present days. So, if the Chinese really want to find out why ah Hun Sen acts the way he is because of the VC, e.g Hun once said ' the truth is I am a VC's puppet and nobody wants to lose their land or sea but because we are under their controlled'.

Therefore, if the Chinese have a genuine heart wanting to help Cambodia, Chinese must demand Viets to leave Cambodia politic as well as leave all of our possessions (territory and Koh Tral) alone. China must point finger and pull the Viets out of Cambodia and tell them, that they are the one who is killing khmers and enough of their bushshit, that is stop using khmers to kill khmers. That they must leave Cambodia ASAP, that is Hun and his dyansty must go back to VN, stop pretending to khmers continuing to kill khmers.

China has the power and still have time to do the right thing or else. They too be clasify as the khmers killers also e.g where do those artileries come from eg guns bullets and tanks etc. May god save our souls really.

I watched a video program the other night called: Conspiracy Theory. By Jessie Ventura

Actually i watched two videos of his. One has to do with the HAARP, and the other one has to do with Bilderbergs group; 120 people who rule the world.

Jessie Ventura was a Governor of Minnesota, a Navy Seal and a Fighter. This is the man who called Christians weak minded people.

Out to give him your ears what he has to say about this New World Order that is vamping up right now who want to kill people off like pests in their gardens of useless eaters.

The old men from CPP are stalwarts that have long overstayed their usefulness, it does not matter who is their patron, it does not require too much intelligence to realize Cambodia badly needed new and fresh blood to run the country. Tell me please, what Sim, Rin, Sen, Vun, Siphan, and other hangers-on are good for? What, and how much values do they add to move Cambodia forward?

Phay Siphan : " The reform is underway " . China has concerned more about Hun Sen Debt than about Hun Sen .
It's a clear message to Hun Sen that China will easily dump
Hun Sen just as this Commie friend did to Pol Pot , when a good friend became useless to China interest - China money always has hidden string attached .

Khmer leader should follow Thai prime minister, Yingluck, who talked politely and accept what is good for all the people, but with constitution. She absolutely won the election, not the Khmer election. The leader didn't accept the reality. Decho never keeps his promise, how he could face the people and international. He himself knows well that he lost the election. Come on do good for the country. Decho lets all the people around him abuse the power and use him for their interests. BE courage for the nation, no one believe him, he talks and no one listen. People are around never respect him.

The Xinhua News Agency, whose output is tightly controlled by China’s government, was sent to work in Cambodia not to improve the freedom of speech, the human rights standard or the status of governance but to study the geography of Cambodia by investigating and researching about natural resources for Chinese mining interest (Gold, Iron, Coal, Petroleum and other minerals).
In addition to that, Cambodian government is run by neay Kwak, neay Kwen, neay Lev and Dumb and Dumber that don’t understand what are natural resources and ethical business all about.
Without ethical business policies, the Chinese and Vietcong companies are always looking for opportunity to dive in with no shame to fulfill their ruthless business culture in any developing countries like Cambodia that has bad, ignorant governance and human rights violation.

As long as Hun/CPP and VC still in control, Srok Khmer will never be improved. Hun/CPP and VC must go! no need further negotiation. Look into the past and we will see the future, e,g in the past, they said the same thing to Funcipic, but look at Funcipic now. All are gone, dead (fed to crocodiles). Their evil tactics and tricks are plentiful. Don't believe them crooks anymore.

We have to continue to demonstate until the job is done, that is HUN/CPP and VC controlling freaks must go. We need Chinese to be on the right side this time. Chinese has never like Viets anyway, because they knew that Viets are a very cunning kind of people e.g they lied, cheated, decieved , manipulated and killed. But because the Chinese concerns was to sell them lots of war related weapons and they did not care of who killing whom and now, they seem to care and understand where we are coming from e,g recentely, VC trying to befriend with USSR and US and wanting those three to fight with each other, just like the old time but with the same old tactic in which the Chinese are very fimiliar with e.g let them kill each other and in the end, they would have it all without going through war.

CPP about reform do they even know what that mean?
"Mr. Siphan said, adding that reforms are underway." It a long way since 1993, CPP policies almost and near it objective to destroy and plunder Cambodia natural resources and in doing so will automatically killed it own people of live, breath and dependance on the land, water and air to survive. Khmer citizen is ding slowly and new form of torture under the CPP policies and so far CPP is succeeding in these field why would they want to reform or make change. They have for many year said they will engaged in anti-corruptions, it took a long time to draft the law, even in it incomplete form the anti-corruption target the enemies of the CPP's and like Hun Sen wife's who illegally log Cambodian forest and the proceed of that goes to Hun Sen $1million a month. Did the anti-corruption law get enforce on Hun Sen...the answer is no. It only enforce on Cambodian citizen excluding CPP MPs and their families and Hun Sen. So CPP in it complete form must step down...and allow CNRP to implement it policies which is fair and equal for all including CPP members.
