Asking China for more high tech weapons to help our troops...
Let not hide around the bush; ask China to provide us with real weapons to defense ourselves and ask China to invest and help create more jobs in Cambodia so that our children doesnt have to cross to neighboring countries. The last question is to ask them how much will it costs us. This is business, we dont expect China to feed us. We wanted mutual partnership.
Agree with 2:42AM!
It is a warning message to Thailand.
Tea Banh is just a minister of defense of a small country like Cambodia that can meet with Vice President of a superpower like China.
Remember! Cambodian population is less than Chinese almost 100 times (1,339,724,852/14,000,000).
What is the worthful point that Chinese president meet with him?
Thailand should know how China treat Cambodia very well.
The war of Korean continent in 1953 is a good example. The war between UN and China's results 3 millions of people from both sides died.
