Docking of warships revived speculation about implications of close military ties and whether Beijing wants to strengthen its hand in disputed waters

Fresh from celebrating four decades since the downfall of the former Khmer Rouge rulers, Cambodia welcomed several Chinese warships. Just days after last week’s anniversary, the vessels docked in the resort city of Sihanoukville, reviving concerns about the implications of close military ties between the two countries and the possibility China is planning a naval base in the kingdom.
Cambodia’s leader HE swatted away similar rumours about Beijing’s intentions last November, after receiving a letter from US Vice-President Mike Pence.
“The constitution of Cambodia bans the presence of foreign troops or military bases in its territory … whether naval forces, infantry forces or air forces,” the premier said, bluntly dismissing Washington’s concerns.
But after the navy visit, analysts said there may be some substance to the idea.
Paul Chambers, a regional analyst at Thailand’s Naresuan University, insisted: “Reliable, senior Cambodian officials have told me that the HE regime is moving toward the tacit approval of a naval base on a 99-year land concession in Koh Kong,” Chambers said in an email, referring to the coastal province where a Chinese developer is building a US$3.8 billion tourism project on 45,000 hectares of land.

Great. No beaches left in Cambodia at all. With all the experience in South China Sea they can fill in the gap between the islands and snooky and create even bigger casinos and submarine pens.

Where were those photos taken?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Have you been back there since 2015? Is the hotel khmer or chinese owned? Maybe the land might be good future investment..
