Whether we choose to be on Vietnam's side or China's side, Cambodia is still in dangers.
1.
Chinese usually takes care of their businesses and economy pretty much.
Chinese usually like to invest in many unstable or corrupted countries
like African countries, Cambodia, Cuba, North Korea and the
likes. Wherever they see they can take the utmost benefits from, they will invest. Therefore, if
Cambodia becomes stable in politics and economies, those Chinese
companies/industries would not take much benefits from Cambodian workers
and people. So, China might not want stability in Cambodia and,
similarly, the border issue between Cambodia and Vietnam is not
important to China.
2. Vietnam is an ally of the US.
Vietnam needs the US to help protect its sovereignty against the
mainland China. Besides, Vietnam always has ambitions to swallow Cambodian
lands. So, if Cambodia joins the US like Vietnam does, Cambodian
destiny might be like that of Palestine's. Similarly, the ways the US might
solve border issue between Vietnam and Cambodia is very similar to the
ways it used to solve problems between Palestines and Israel. Nothing changed much.
In
my opinion, China today is an important superpower to protect Cambodian
sovereignty. Cambodia must choose China. It is the right policy. But for the
economy, Cambodia would not get much benefits from being an ally of
China comparing to the US which has many strong industrial and economic allies
in the world.
Therefore, only time will tell and only time that can decides the destiny of Cambodia.
Hopefully, China will control the Spratley Islands. The more China
controls those islands, the more pressures fall on Vietnam's economy.
Therefore, in the future, China will swallow Vietnam little by little,
both economically and politically. Until that time, Cambodia might choose
another ally.

Hi author!
Our Cambodian priority is to change the leader educated enough to be looked good in the international communities and the most important thing is to ensure our sovereignty.
In straight, for now, Cambodia stays with China and replace Hun Sen with whoever can build trusts internationally.
Peace ^^ :)
Agree with the articles above, except comparison Israel- Palestine. I believe the U.S will not give Hanoi same preferential treatments like Israeli because Israeli is European peoples and many Israeli are American Jews.
U.S will not help Cambodia get back lost islands, border areas but America will help keep Cambodia full independent and liberty if Cambodia is fully side with Uncle Sam. Right now Royal Cambodia Government is following ex king Noridom Sihanouk policies in the 50s, 60s and early 70's ONE FOOT IN AND ANOTHER FOOT OUT. This policies had a disaster for us, result almost 2 millions of our family deads.
In my opinion we must side with the U.S, right America seem weaker than PRC but America still world only military super power. America economy will not stay weak very long. She has a lot more powerful nation on her side ( European Union), Central America nations, many rich middle east countries. If confrontation between PRC and U. S. A, America will win economically or military.
Stop fooling around , stop playing politic games
Khmers need to learn not to kiss anybody's ass. Be independent! Chinese ass? Vietcong ass? Or American ass?
You can't put out a fire from a distance, all the way across the Pacific, from USA to Cambodia. China is the closest friend to Cambodia, no need for American help and we will not let Youns use Cambodia and get America involved bombing us again.
