If you search you’ll find.

That picture is from Myanmar and was taken by an official and is of Covid deaths. Not any protest.

Try Google reverse search.

This thing is far from endemic. Quite the opposite. I suspect that is the goal of many; the way of malaria. Borders certainly should have been closed immediately - they had a year to watch which countries were successful in their methods, and that seemed to be the winning formula. Chinese advisors? Seems hard for local transmissions not to outweigh imports.

Do you seriously think Cambodia has a realistic chance of getting covid cases to zero and keeping them there indefinitely?

At the risk of starting a food fight here, IMHO this will only end once enough people are Vaxed. Will that end the transmission of the virus? No. But it will make the illness much less deadly. According to most accounts, less than 10% of infected people who are vaxed end up in hospital. I know from my own experience - I was vaxed in February but still got the Delta a couple of weeks ago. It sucked, but now worse than the flu (except that it lasted much longer and quite a bit of fatigue). But I only had a mild fever a couple of times and was functional as far as working from home goes.

Cambo's vax numbers look pretty good considering how late to the game they started. Fingers crossed on these Chinese vaccines, though. Opening for tourism in December seem kind of unlikely. Maybr if they institute some kind of "vaccine passport" system.
