chinese language is not not the universal language cambodian army should learn English , computer and technology of the 21 century .
a lot chinese sent theirs children oversea learn english and technology keeping up with the fast moving world of the 21 century .
Well, in terms of war strategy, there's a far difference between the two blocs. Anyway, we don't have spare budget to boost up military technology. China's economy is booming, so it's ok to send out their children to study oversea. As for Cambodia, some people can't even afford to send their children to local schools.
10:48 AM, you are right English is the universal language, however, I think these soldiers are learning Chinese in preparations for their military training in China to be officers, pilot, tank drivers or operation artillery. etc. There are rumors that some Cambodian soldiers are currently training to be pilots in China.
Since when Khmer had problems from learning too many things ? We have many smart learners who could be divided into groups to learn different things from different places at different times. Go for what our country need the most and take the most out of what is available to our country.One hundred tiny water melon seeds can entertain your stomach while waiting for one pound of steak.And then, what if that steak is still belonged to the living cow in the ranch or the prairie yet.
