However, political analyst So Chantha said Cambodia needs recognition from the international community and that Cambodia cannot walk away from the international stage, as Cambodia is not a developed country and needs investments.
“Cambodia is not a developed country and cannot solely rely on its own yet. It needs relations, both investment and political, on the international stage.” So Chantha said.
He added that Cambodia should move forward and have a clear plan in making relations with the international community.
“We need to have a balance in relationships between powerful countries and other international communities,” So Chantha said. “Cambodia cannot cut itself off from the world.”
So Chantha did not see any sign that the claim by Sam Raisy will lead to political violence protest on the street.
However, he is worried that should the US and EU stop their export quotas, it could cause 700,000 to one million Cambodians losing their jobs - and that could lead to protests.

“What I worry is that protests from the workers will lead to a political movement that creates chaos,” said So Chantha. “It could start from an employment crisis and economic crisis and lead to a political crisis.”
Korn Savang, monitoring coordinator for the Committee for Free and Fair Elections, said also he supports the claim made by So Chantha that Cambodian elections should be recognised by the international community and that this will help Cambodia’s image with other countries.

Dictators don't give a shit what anyone thinks...
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

There will continue to be investment, democracy or not if there is money to be made.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
