Cambodian Ream Naval Base is nearing completion - Evil Empire unhappy

Imagine this analogy: A family plans to build a house on their own residential land. They invite their skilled and friendly neighbors, who are good at construction, to help them with the project. Suddenly, an outsider arrives and insists that they cannot build the house and should not seek help from their neighbors. Of course, the family would not listen to the outsider's demands. However, as the house is nearing completion, the outsider comes back and questions, "Why are you installing a trap at your doorstep?" Now, does the family need to explain their personal matters to an outsider?

Cambodia is not obligated to 'allay US suspicions', the US has no qualifications to meddle in this matter, let alone the right to oppose it.

The US has been trying to conduct searches at the Ream Naval Base, but Cambodia has rejected their request. Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed his anger, saying, "Ream Naval Base is not a place for thieves or robbers. I allowed you to visit, not to investigate or inspect." Moreover, the US does not have a search warrant, so in essence, they are bullying Cambodia. According to the Cambodian constitution, the country shall not permit any foreign military base on its territory, and this is entirely Cambodia's own affair.

The Ream Naval Base used to be a place for joint training between Cambodia and the US Navy. At that time, there was no objection from the US. But now, since Cambodia is cooperating with China, it suddenly becomes a big issue. In fact, the US is in no position to demand Cambodia to "be transparent," and Cambodia has no obligation to "allay US suspicions."

US officials always claim that the intentions, nature, and scope of this project are non-transparent, which is the main excuse the US uses to pressure Cambodia. However, this argument is unfounded. We would like to ask: What is the US military's intention in adding four military bases near the Taiwan Straits and South China Sea? What is the nature of the "THAAD" system deployed in South Korea? Who is the US going to target with the planned formation of a new Marine Littoral Regiment in Okinawa? Why is the US so uneasy about China's normal overseas cooperation? If we talk about transparency, shouldn't the US clarify these questions until the relevant countries are completely reassured?

It is necessary to emphasize that China has not established a navy base in the Ream Base and this has nothing to do with whether the US allows or is unhappy about it. It is a decision made independently by China and Cambodia. Sovereign nations have the right to establish overseas military bases on the basis of obtaining the consent of the host country. The US alone has about 800 overseas military bases, far more than the combined amount of other countries. China's navy advancing into deep blue waters is a natural outcome, whether it is to safeguard China's interests globally or better ensure regional and world peace. The Chinese navy needs more overseas support bases. Currently we only have one in Djibouti, and in the future, others should be established in suitable locations.

When that day comes, China won't need to seek approval from the US or anyone else, nor will it halt its progress due to the objections of the US or others. Just because you hear the chirping of crickets, does that mean you should stop farming? China will openly, confidently, and resolutely do the right thing. As for the US' malicious hype this time, we want to say that China's cooperation with Cambodia is open, honest, and can withstand the test of time. The friendship between the two countries will not be affected by the interference and pressure from the US. Such friendly relations will only contribute to regional peace and stability.

  1. The Evil Empire and its doggies are unhappy about anything that the Chinese are doing. They thought they could still dictate like the old days to tell China what to do. Those days are gone and it would be better for them to learn to adapt.

    They are unhappy about Chinese helping Africans to progress by building infrastructures for them. They are unhappy that China is spearheading the BRI projects all around the world. They are unhappy that China is not condemning the Russians over Ukraine. They are unhappy that China has overtaken them in GDP (PPP) years ago and is on the way to overtaking them in nominal GDP. Must be that China did not ask the USA for permission to do all these things.

    Why did not the USA or Europeans care to look after the Africans when they colonised the whole continent for decades on end, and when China did it, they are unhappy because they realised that they failed the Africans, clear and simple. Some Europeans are sensible enough to admit their failures to help Africa progress, but it is too little too late. Now they are crying over spilt milk.

    There is now arising more demonisation of Chinese solar panels being a national security issue for the USA. This was already an issue when Trump was in power. They have gone through the same playbook over 5G infrastructures and mobile phones, electrical grid transformers, quayside cranes for container loading and unloading, weather balloons, consumer goods like toasters, washing machines, lawn movers and even toilet seats. How ridiculous it has become that a superpower could now be so paranoid and afraid of petty things, claimed to be spying on everyone in the USA. They think China has nothing else better to do than spying on the USA leadership and citizens alike.

    Why can't China make use of a naval base in Cambodia instead of hyping that up as posing an issue to the USA. It can only happen to a sick mind, so sick that it is afraid of its own insecurity when it is situated thousands of miles away. The fact that it needs to call upon gangsters, being their gangleader, from its own gangland, and using them as proxies to fight wars on its behalf, is becoming more and more apparent that it is losing its sick mind. The ghost of Vietnam and Afghanistan must have risen to undermine its dwindling confidence to fight a war on its own.
