if we want chinese in Cambodia, why
not embrace pol pot's idea the first place to avoid the illing and the vietnam controlling.
During Pol Pot time, it was not existed the Vietnam power in it but now Vietnam are spreading in Cambodia, so it will operate well. What China want is just to sell thiers product and a new weapon only. What Cambodia to be, it is not problem for China. And Viet just only parasite to eat this, that is no doubt.
China betrayed Pol pot during Yuon invasion in 1979,during Yuon match with tanks on road# 3 China should just bomb those tanks but China scare of Russia turned to betrayed its alliance Pol pot.Now how can you trust China again?

The donation of Chinese's military equipments is seen as an oppression while USA donation of any kind seems to be genuis gift.
Oh by the way, some of US military helmets ended up on the heads of Cambodian soldiers sent to oppress the demonstration at Kratie province , killed an innnocent girl.
Indonesian troops killed thousands unarmed people of East Timor during the invasion of the island in 1975 using USA supplied equipments.
