Phnom Penh : Vietnamese investors consider Cambodia as a big potential investment destination in the future. So far, its investment in Cambodia has reached US$1.5 billion in the last few years in different sectors such as construction, agriculture, and banking sector.

Tran Bac Ha, chief of a delegation of Vietnamee investors told Prime Minister Hun Sen on October 16 that Vietnam government allowed three Vietnamese companies to invest in Cambodia in real estate, construction and agriculture.

Tran Bac Ha added that Vietnamese company planned to buy in 2010 between 300 000 and 400 000 tonnes of paddy from Cambodia to boost Cambodian economy and reduce poverty.

Recently, Vietnamese investors planned to plant rubber trees on 50 000 hectare in the Northeast of the country and they put in place the mobile phone company, Viettel, and at the same time, Vietnamese airline company has invested in running the Cambodian National Airline called "Cambodia Angkor Air". The joint venture investment costs $100 millions, of which , Cambodia holds 51 per cent and the rest belongs to Vietnamese side.

While the diplomatic row has increased between Thailand and Cambodia, Some Thai leaders threatened to close the border. But, in his reaction, Prime Minister Hun Sen threatened to stop buying Thai products and in stead using products from other countries.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg.
    Hun Sen and the CPP probably receives hundreds of millions if not billions in direct financial aid secretly. His private army is probably trained and equiped by Hanoi.
    China also helps with military assistance, independance day parade saw the tahks, ant-aircraft missile etc.
    Thats why he can chose to pick a fight with the thais, they can be replaced by vietnam and china who will happily do so.
    In return chinese and viet companies are free to do lucrative business in cambodia helped by hun sen.

    Les Viets n'ont pas besoin de tuer les khmers pour prendre le Cambodge. Mais ils tuent les khmers avec la guerre économique.Ils sont bien protégés par le gouvernement fantoche Hun Sen et ils font ce que veulent.

    This land belong to Viet, and Angkor Wat too. The Khmer will be a small group in his own country near by the future.

    Expanding financial, economic stake in Cambodia is indicative of Hanoi's anxiety to keep the country's long term economic development dependent on Vietnam.

    Hanoi is well aware that it could not rely on a minority of affluent, politically closed and brutal elite alone to maintain social 'stability' for ever in an increasingly market-dominated and non-ideological world and, in a country where many are still clearly in a state of semi-destitution.

    It also knows it could afford to make such heavy investments in a politically enhanced, framed and thereby imperfect market place where normal market forces and laws are more or less irrelevant and where substantial returns on those investments can be guaranteed.

    In the early 1980s the demise of the so-called 'Hanoi veterans' such as Pen Sovann and Ros Samay is understood to be linked to their preference for Cambodian state enterprises to be dependent on countries other than Vietnam, which would of course have proffered Cambodia with far better return in much needed hard currency and, more crucially, provided her with an escape route to genuine political independence.

    At least, in this respect, Vietnam is undertaking and putting into effect economic relationship that would have informed past colonial experience; a relationship of which she herself was at the bitter receiving end.

    Transforming battle fields into 'development zones' maybe a self-reassuring slogan, but it does not benefit anyone beyond Vietnam and that self-centred collection of bribed opportunists. We have witnessed how exploitative this pattern of relationship has been in the past 25 years or so, and it was not just political strife or instability alone that reduced a once traditionally resource-rich, food-sufficient country to a barren nation in need of constant international bail-outs.

    The history of those countries that have made genuine progress in their economic sphere has also indicated that such a success has been largely in tandem with or accompanied by their national political self-determination.

    Without political self-mastery, we will continue to see a country further diminished in every vital respect, encompassing sovereignty, territory, identity as well as collective life itself.

    Like the aforementioned empty slogan, the high-rises that are now beginning to dominate the sky line are doing more than blocking the national horizon as they charm our senses and imprison our souls.

    Yuon new form of sacking Cambodia is now through fake economical investment. In reality it is a new form of yuon sacking resources of Cambodia. One and half billions is just enough to pay and equipped cpp top officers to defend yuon interest in Cambodia while yuons can exploit, rob and own Cambodia. Yuons buy only resources (matière première) from Cambodia to a cheap price fixed by yuons, oil, woods, rubber, rice, and other resources which yuons need to develop its country . It is not an equitable commerce but a form of sacking and neocolonization. And how much millions tones of precious woods that yuon paid hun sen officers to cut down illegally for yuons which yuons transformed into final consumer product to sell it around the world.

    This message is not only for Cambodians but everyone, those who still have some conscience and human feeling - before you buy a yuon product, in Europe and around the world, think twice because most yuon products are merely from yuon criminal maneuver whether through a horrific genocide, persecution and repressing of other people life and rights

    12:49 I believe yuons are not indifferent to social behaviors of current Cambodians specially among xmer top officers (cpp/khmer rouge), or i meant yuon slaves. These people merey bear yuon form, identity and interest while suppress or repress those of khmers . To questions if these yuon clones are worse than yuons? Let see what yuons can offer to their clones beside conditioning their clones in various way of yuon culture of hated, oppression and animosities. What you see in current Cambodia is merely of yuon culture and influence over decades specially since polpot time

    Other more question?

    And according to Cambodia Daily 17 Nov 2009, Sok An signed an oil agreement to let Viet country to control Block 15-6,900 square km with 100% interest without the knowledge of the public and Assembly. It is how he has served his family and his master VN while Khmers, owners of the natural resource, get nothing but a life of no quality. KhOpen,
