"If you take a starving dog from the gutter, feed him and restore him to health, he will not hate you.
That is the difference between a dog and a man." (attributed to Mark Twain)
On Christmas Day 1978, the People's Army of Vietnam, accompanied by several thousand Cambodians,
crossed the border in force. By the end of January, most of Cambodia had been liberated from the
Khmer Rouge. Very soon after that welcome liberation, a government was installed, in much the same
way that a post-Taliban government was installed in Kabul.
Every reader here knows the names of those in the Cambodian government installed by Vietnamese
arms; the greatest in the land was among them.
It now seems that those Vietnamese in Cambodia, whether on rivers, floating on the Great Lake or
ashore on dry land, are likely to lose what few rights they possess.
Vietnamese residents of Cambodia face an uncertain future

Not the best of sources, but we can be sure that there will be more to come in the future.

Of course, this might simply be empty rhetoric to please the CPP base in preparation for the forthcoming election.

I’ve heard that they’ll be granted citizenship and given how-to-vote cards for CPP.
