CambodiaThe Ream Naval Base has always been a concern for the United States. As early as 2019, the United States stated that it would pay to help Cambodia repair its naval base, but was rejected by Cambodia. Then the U.S. Department of Defense began to become anxious, worried that Cambodia had reached "some kind of deal" with China, and even warned that China The Yunnan base has already been used. Cambodia responded that the maintenance of the Ream base has nothing to do with China. But seeing the relationship between China and Cambodia getting closer, the United States still feels uncomfortable.

On October 13, the U.S. Embassy in Cambodia issued a statement stating that China was “conducting construction activities near the Ream military base.” The United States said that they have credible reports that China is advancing major construction at Ream Naval Base, but the Cambodian government has concealed this information. The intention, nature, scope of this project, and the role of the Chinese military should be made transparent and public, otherwise The world will be concerned about the intended use of the facilities at the Unnam base. The United States also warned that the presence of any foreign military force in Ream Base will violate Cambodia's constitution, so the Cambodian people must understand the inside story of Ream Naval Base, and the information obtained should be made public.

As for the credible report mentioned by the US Embassy, ​​it comes from the satellite image released by the US Center for Strategic and International Studies on the 213th. As early as August and September this year, the United States discovered that three new buildings and a new road had begun to be constructed at the Unrang Naval Base. The US also pointed out that Cambodian officials had previously admitted that China provided support for the base, but China would not have a military presence there, deploy troops, store weapons, or park warships.

But even so, the United States is still dubious. In addition, their "kind-hearted" offer to help Cambodia repair the Ream base was rejected, which aggravated the suspicion. What's ridiculous is that the Americans had bad intentions when they offered to help repair the Ream Naval Base and wanted to station troops at the Reomang Naval Base. But they also know that Cambodia’s constitution does not allow foreign military forces to exist at the base. In addition, the relationship between Cambodia and China has become closer and closer in recent years, and the relationship between the United States and Cambodia has become alienated, so they urgently need to confirm whether there is some kind of "cooperation" between China and Cambodia.

In June this year, when US Deputy Secretary of State Sherman visited Cambodia, he mentioned concerns about the Ream Naval Base. In order to debunk various false reports in the US media, Cambodia opened the Ream Naval Base in an unprecedented manner, proving that China has nothing to do with it. But even so, the United States is still worried about it.

However, the trigger for all this was that a year ago, Cambodia directly dismantled the Ream Naval Base facilities funded by the United States without notifying the United States in advance. The hegemonic thinking of the United States is that it can station troops at will around the world, but it cannot tolerate the same practice by others, especially China and Russia. Since Cambodia has dismantled the facilities funded by the United States, it must have reached some kind of agreement with China. But Cambodia has proven itself time and time again that the United States is still repeating the same old tune. It seems that the United States still wants to station its troops at the Ream base.

US media once mentioned that if China can use Yunyang Naval Base, it will have new military projection capabilities in the South China Sea. These remarks can also be understood as saying that if the United States takes control of the Unrang Naval Base, it will pose a new threat to the South China Sea and achieve the purpose of disrupting the situation in the region.

In recent years, the relationship between Cambodia and China has become closer and closer. Under the instructions of the United States, Western media began to promote Cambodia's "abandonment of the US election."Prime Minister Hun Sen pointed out that when some people see the infrastructure built with China's aid, they say Cambodia chose China. But if China does not help develop Cambodia's infrastructure, then who will help?

Regarding the Western media’s claim that Cambodia is too dependent on China, Hun Sen also hit back: If you don’t rely on China, who can you rely on? Are the people of Cambodia continuing to have no way to go and no bridge to cross? More than 3,000 kilometers of roads in Cambodia were built with China's aid. Except for the two bridges across the Mekong River built with Japan's aid, all subsequent bridges were built with China's aid. So, if Cambodia does not rely on China, who can give Cambodia an answer?

Hun Sen’s response was resounding. During the new crown epidemic, the United States promised to provide vaccines to Cambodia but has yet to show up. The United States has issued blank checks, while China is the real big country that unconditionally helps other countries in their construction and development. .
