As the new Cold War between the US and China is heating up, accusation and conspiracy theories against the so-called China’s vassal states such as Cambodia have also taken the headlines. Especially Ream Naval Base become the focus of attention from many parties. And now we need to know about the truth of Ream Naval Base.
1. Why the US is so obsessed with military base in Cambodia?Cambodia is already fed up in explaining that it will never accept any foreign military base on its soil,Because Cambodia’s explanation will never make sense. Because the US has the strongest power in shaping public opinion and perception. Because the US can use detergent as evidence to attack Iraq. Because the US will continue to nitpick Cambodia regardless of its explanations.

2. David Hutt and Carlyle Thayer have been fierce attackers against Cambodia. David Hutt stirred the first rumour about the Chinese naval base in Dara Sakor in Koh Kong province without even the slightest evidence on the ground or information cross-checks, a basic code of ethics that is required in journalism. Carlyle Thayer followed suit giving his in-depth analysis on debt-trap diplomacy, sustaining Hun Sen’s regime survival, concern on loss of sovereign independence, concern on China’s military presence, regional security etc. When the stories die down another rumour appears on Ream naval base in the Preah Sihanouk Province. George Orwell said in his famous book 1984 that “first they steal the words, then they steal the meaning”. This is what writers such as David Hutt and Carlyle Thayer are doing with their smearing campaign against Cambodia.

3.The development reminded us of a real story in the past when the US dropped more than 2 million tons of bombs in Eastern Cambodia, leaving a minimum of 100,000 Cambodian civilian casualties and 2 million of our people homeless. And yet, the US still demands for debt repayment that Cambodia owed during Lon Nol’s regime, as if the 2 million tons of bombs were not enough.Cambodian people will always remember your great achievements in destroying Cambodia and its people.

7.The attention paid to the possible Chinese access to Cambodian naval facilities, however, too often ignores the realities of Cambodia’s geography. Because the geography of Cambodia suggests that China does not stand to gain much strategic advantage by equipping military facilities on the Kingdom’s shores.
