I only view these facts as a long time resident to Cambodia and ignoring it as "just like the US" or it's "a rich people/power thing" does not address the threat to the Khmer people's sovereignty.

The moment China does have Cambodia and its leaders grabbed by the balls, because of all the loans, industrial/economical ownerships, and long-term leases, the next step blackmail is quite easy. Cambodia is by far not able to "complain", when a military setup, closed off "touristic" environment is turned into a military compound, overnight.
A deep water port, with a pre-setup infrastructure, land-wise far away from everything in a poor grabbed by the balls country, surrounded by military very limited third world countries, is a good starting point for a naval base, when needed.
Anybody heard of the former Ukraine build aircraft carrier hull Varyag, bought by a Macau company for a floating resort/casino and suddenly showing up as the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning ?
Or the USA buying huge amounts of Titanium, mid '60s for "humanitarian" purposes from the USSR, effectively being used for the Blackbird, spying out the same USSR ?
Despite HE officially denying, all signs show, China is playing a nice strategic game, with minimal investments being able to suddenly have an operational naval base front post in the southern Asia part of the Globe, whenever they want.

The US has an estimated 800 military bases in 70 countries and territories, China has 1 in Djibouti.
I do get the point about a strategic/geo political foothold in Cambodia, read what the rest of Asia thinks about the Belt and Road initiative.

Never mind.
The US is being obtuse, as it knows full well what is developing in the South China Sea, and has the 2014 Defense Agreement with the Philippines, giving them 5 military bases at their disposal.

Again, I don't care what the US is doing, I care what the Chinese are doing because I see them taking over where I have lived most of my adult life.

Sucks that the OP is about US vs China, the topic of China taking over Cambodia is more a concern.

I tend to agree with Felgerkarb on this. Every time someone posts something about the dicey shit the Chinese are up to someone else chimes in with a version of "well the US has done blah blah blah" as if that makes everything OK. There seems an inordinate number of posters on just about any forum I have looked at that can't wait to post something along these lines. I am under no illusions that the US is not guilty of doing some very nasty shit in the past and is still involved in shall we say shady endeavours but this incessant US bashing grows tiresome.
And no, I am not a yank.

US deserve exactly what they get, and if you want to talk about the present, I'm pretty sure you can find them doing something devastating right this minute.
They screwed me really good and haven't even attempted to repair what they did. But that's okay, because I'll just pay them back in kind.
You are in a space vortex to think they don't do shit that needs bashing. Or did you think every country in the world right now is in denial? Wake up and smell their shit. Everyone else has, including me, first hand.
I love bitches n gonna fuck Texas and the USA+ right up their god damn ass! Hallelujah!

Uh...start your own thread on it, then?
Powerful nations always take what they can. Why is China the bad guy in history, when their expansion recently has been mostly non-military, but criticism of the US/UK unacceptable - when their expansion has always been accompanied by military aggression?

Why, oh why, didn't I take the Blue pill?
Someone thinks USA doesn’t deserve criticism or that they aren’t a bad guy? I thought the USA was frequently criticized, and that they deserve every bit of it.vladimir wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 5:46 amUh...start your own thread on it, then?

Keep your focus on the USA while China takes over your backyard.
