Agreed, I have to admit I do not know enough about the Cambodian situation. Thanks to you I will look more into the matter as it seems to be forgotten by Western Press...
Take care.

Nice to see that you are open to consider new information. Here is a good article to start with which addresses the core of the issue. I simple Google search will turn up additional resources if you are interesting in pursuing the topic. You can also ask me for more. I have a few good ones in my archive. Cambodia is a good case study due to the fact that the UN had to essentially go in there an (attempt) to rebuild the whole country out from a warzone. So with the government there "backstabbing" the west this provides an excellent demonstration of the "new cold war" in action. Again, I will stick with my stance that this new "trade war" by the US administration is more of a clandestine geopolitical maneuver addressing the MULTITUDE of problems in the Asia region (ex. N. Korea, Cambodia, etc.). Hope this is helpful info. As always, I upvote your posts every day... Keep it up...
Hun Sen Counts On China As He Cracks Down On Cambodia - Has He Miscalculated?

VERY interesting article. I really have to dig deeper into it. I will ask my Cambodian-descent friend what he thinks about the situation.
If your Cambodian contact is living in the US (or anywhere outside of Cambodia) I think it is likely that they will say something similar to what I'm saying. Also, here another interesting article (hot off the press) related to the Cambodia situation and cryptocurrency. As expected, the writer is claiming that adopting a national cryptocurrency is intended to ENHANCE rebellion against the western donors (which have significantly helped keep the country primarily out of the state of active war until the country became strong enough to backstab the west and not side with China). But us smart people knew this was the situation all along. My personal opinion is that it has simply been LESS COSTLY to allow Cambodia to remain in a "hot civil war" state than it has been to PLACATE them and maintain stability in the larger region. Obviously we can now see the COST of that - that is, BILLIONS of dollars of Western taxpayer money down the drain. This is why I am siding with the Trump administration on this for now. They are making the kinds of policy decisions that SHOULD have been made in past decades, but were not - and we can now see the end result. Totally messed up...
