Why isn't the young King not traveling to Japan, Western Europe, Australia, America, Canada ? Why making the same mistake his father did riding on China's back?
China is the only best hope for cambodia. The West destroyed cambodia...
Cambodia is just a pawn for China. It's time to choose side, we're either with the US or against the US.
Khmer wanted to have all countries of the permanent security council as her friend at all times.Among those 5 countries China has the most stable leadership which is not subject to change as often as every 4 or 8 years. That is why Khmer seems to be closer and more intimate to China. Sihamony used to sit on Chou En Lai's lap when he was a youngster!
