If/When China invades Taiwan

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I find myself falling into the "when" camp on the China-Taiwan situation.

My question to everyone here is this:

If the worst happens what do you think will happen in Cambodia?
Given the close ties the CPP has with the CCP it is unlikely they will stay neutral. Though I do think that as soon as any invasion of Taiwan starts to go badly for China they will just swap sides and claim they were always best friends of the West.

I know many will just go home as they have not put the roots down here that others have. And that's ok. It's an honest option that, unfortunately, others may not have or one that they may not wish to consider due to the connections they have here.
My 500 riel's worth
It wont ever happen.
Although China has dreams of "reuniting" their country ( their words) and bringing Taiwan into the fold, with America backing Taiwan and the chance of an international incident, Cambodia wont side with China
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
