Chinese Navy’s Suspected New Overseas Base In Cambodia Now Even Larger

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.

Right until British troops landed, marched and burned the President’s House. The US President, Congress, and everyone had to flee for their lives.

The house was repainted White after being torched.
No defenses were raised because they had been beaten and had no fight in them.
The painting story is a myth as it was not called "The White House" until 1901.

But I salute you for your knowledge of American history, even if it is flawed. Most have no clue.
