Cambodia Does Not Owe US Explanation Over Chinese Ties

กรุณาเปิดแคป ชั่นใน YouTube (CC) แล้วกดเลือกภาษาไทย (now with Thai subtitles) - The US is complaining about an alleged Chinese naval presence at a Cambodian naval base in Cambodian territory; - There is no justification for US interference in Cambodia's internal political affairs, its foreign policy with other nations in the region, or its military cooperation with other nations; - While the US complains about an alleged Chinese naval presence in Cambodia, the US maintains hundreds of military bases around the globe including in countries the US is illegally occupying; - The US and NATO demand other nations respect the decision of those joining the alliance despite it often following coercive and violent regime change, but refuse to respect a nation's decision to work more closely with China or Russia instead; - US hypocrisy stems not from any genuine belief that China poses as threat to peace or stability either in Asia or beyond, but from the fact that China's rise and growing ties with other nations pose an obstacle to US interference and impunity; References: AP - Chinese warships have been docked in Cambodia for 5 months, but government says it’s not permanent (May 8, 2024): https://apnews.com/article/cambodia-china-naval-base-warships-ream-d4571e2ca53e682ce17c121312443b52 CSIS - How Much Trade Transits the South China Sea?: https://chinapower.csis.org/much-trade-transits-south-china-sea/ US State Department, Office of the Historian - Course of Action in Vietnam (1965): https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v03/d189 NATO - Setting the record straight, De-bunking Russian disinformation on NATO (January 2024): https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/115204.htm The Guardian - US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev (November 2004): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa CSIS - U.S. and Allied/Partner Government (donors): https://www.csis.org/about/financial-information/donors/us-and-alliedpartner-government CSIS - Corporations (donors): https://www.csis.org/about/financial-information/donors/corporations Khmer Times - Cambodia’s trade declines 1.9% to $46.82 billion in 2023 (January 2024): https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501421111/cambodias-trade-declines-1-9-to-46-82-billion-in-2023/ NEO - Cambodia Jails US Agents as US-China Tensions Rise (2023): https://journal-neo.su/2023/03/06/cambodia-jails-us-agents-as-us-china-tensions-rise/ Phnom Penh Post - Sokha video producer closes Phnom Penh office in fear (2017): https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/sokha-video-producer-closes-phnom-penh-office-fear Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrianJBerletic Odysee (YouTube alternative): https://odysee.com/@LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): https://rumble.com/c/c-1459863 Weibo: https://weibo.com/u/7726044004 ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): https://facebook.com/BrianThaiFanclub/ Line Group: https://lin.ee/JIxTpKe Gab: https://gab.com/BrianBerletic VK (Facebook alternative): https://vk.com/brianberletic How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheNewAtlas Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/landdestroyer PromptPay: 0851547235 Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR
