When will PRC China own Cambodia outright?

Post by newkidontheblock »

Group of G20 has announced a 6 month moratorium on all debt repayments owed poor nations. Except PRC China. The government claims all loans made overseas were all made by private companies and thus not subject to any kind of government moratorium. PRC China is the largest loaner of money to all these poor nations. On top of that, all the PRC loans are secret agreements, without any disclosures of the terms.

When the nations can’t possibly repay, the Chinese take over their infrastructure. Just like the takeover of the main port of Sri Lanka.

It’s obvious that Cambodia will never make enough to pay for all the loans being made. What happens when PRC China finishes building in Cambodia?

Will the entire country just become one big Chinese city? Owned 100% by the PRC. With the PRC Chinese as the new natives and Cambodians as the new Ugyhurs to be re-educated to fit into the social credit system?

Cambodia is a lot more solvent than you might believe.

Cambodia is just a small fish in China's very large pond. They have been targeting poorer nations all around the world for some time now. They have their fingers all over much of Africa. It seems to be the new modern warfare in that instead of taking land the conventional way with guns and bombs, it seems that if you do it with money, the rest of the world looks the other way.

Thanks to Covid, the world has already woken up to the fear of being over reliant on China. It seems we have yet to wake up to their ambitions for world domination.

It may already be too late.

I don't think that's how it works with China. Do you think the PRC is botching the debt trap?

Official PRC line that all good PRC Chinese citizens know by heart.

Tibet was liberated by the People’s Liberation Army. The Buddhists Monks, starting with the Dali Lama on down was oppressing the poor, starving Tibetans. The People’s Democracy freed the Tibetans from the yoke of religious oppression (Buddhism). The people are now happily living under Socialism. With PRC mandated government schools the children thrive, PRC hospitals gives good health, everyone has assigned jobs, and no one starves.

Of course having a huge PLA contingent helps. Also having more Chinese move in to eventually outnumber the Tibetans (especially with the new high speed rail) also helps.

But yeah, my fear is that a similar roadmap will happen for Cambodia.

The okhnas probably have the money to meet the current loan obligations, and with increasing taxes, the government now has more revenue. But the loans and development doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

Anyone remember the movie Braveheart?
William Wallace was betrayed by the lord he trusted, because the English bribed that lord with land and titles. Of course the Scottish lords eventually realized they were hoodwinked and the rebellions continued. Until the English king came and took the Scottish stone of destiny. And literally put it underneath the English throne.

Iron Man is a man of the people and probably won’t allow complete occupation, but after he’s gone?

PRC China is in it to win the long game. They believe it is their destiny, mandated by Heaven.

KOW was a client state of China way before any of us were born.

Complete takeover of KOW by the PRC would be accomplished when the chief of state is a puppet. International media will be quick to point this out, but it is not saying this now.

HE was installed by the Vietnamese, who are most definitely not a Chinese vassal and would not take kindly to that happening in KOW.

If real power is already behind the throne, this might be divined by looking at who benefits by the machinations of the puppet.
