I will look for some links...

Re: The future of Cambodia looks increasingly Chinese
I think you might be confusing the royal family with the PM. Sihanouk had palaces in Beijing and Pyongyang, and the current king still spends quite a bit of time in Beijing. The PM has a villa at Cap Saint Jacques/ Vũng Tàu but I'm not aware of any residence he has ever had in China.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

While the above is true. I wouldn't be surprised to find he does have a nice pad somewhere close to his overlords in China.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 11:22 pm I think you might be confusing the royal family with the PM.

Re: The future of Cambodia looks increasingly Chinese
Mr B nailed it, I think.
HE seems to have lost a lot of weight in the past 12 months.
He has been in office a long time and has mentioned that himself more than once.

This is great news for Khymer people . Their country will have money and resources poured into it by a world superpower . Poverty will become a thing of the past . The people can learn a new culture . Chinese language teachers will have lots of jobs . Difficult to think of any downsides to this unless you are a native English teacher because their jobs are going to dry up very soon .

not sure if serious meme
Re: The future of Cambodia looks increasingly Chinese
What a crock of shit. You should try opening a history book sometime! There's no shortage of Chinese influence in the region. Hey, did you ever wonder what the "Siem" in "Siem Reap" stands for? Have you heard of Oudong? Any bets on where over half the spirituality tout came from? Chinese language teachers have always had lots of jobs.sklmeera wrote: ↑Mon Aug 06, 2018 10:17 am This is great news for Khymer people .

It's difficult to believe that you could know so little yet want to educate others. Have you even set foot in Cambodia? You spelled "Khmer" wrong.

What the hell is that? It doesn't sound remotely like any real word.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
