Re: Cambodia and Japan
Yeah, I always wonder why they do it (the 90s were a different time obviously). I suspect a big part of it is a "don't forget us" for when the showdown or tilting goes full-on China.

Re: Cambodia and Japan
Maybe kindness has something to do with the reasoning. Japanese are always very transactional. Mostly because when the Japanese government provides this "aid" they require that the equipment, supplies, construction materials, and high-level labor/management all are purchased from Japan. They are paying to have their own companies make the revenue and profit in Cambodia.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Mon Oct 11, 2021 3:12 am Japanese are so kind.

Please explain the "Khmer are smart" in relation to this topic.

Re: Cambodia and Japan
Japanese don’t demand takeover of ports, hospitals, roads, sanitation facilities, raw resources, etc., when a country can’t payback the loan. Usually it’s loan forgiveness.clutchcargo wrote:^^

Is there any country that takes over these things when a country can’t back a loan?
Oh, that’s right, the evil western countries, especially the US. Because the evil westerners are the root to all evil.
Khmer are smart. Japanese are smart, too.
