Cambodia prophecy predicted "King borns before father takes grandpa for a walk". He was the one. In addition, prophecy predicted "thmil returns" in year 1939 but prophecy issued two more dates in the same verse. Though, his royal scholars used year 1939 to argued prophecy was wrong, but he was concern by refusing to believe Cambodia prophecy (Ie. in the book "The Crying of the Living Stone"). Cambodia prophecy was 100% came to pass in chronicle order of prediction including date if given one (Ie. In exact year 1992/93 Thomik White Race stationed in PP). In that verse, prophecy gave a date France gave Cambodia territory Cochincine to Vietnam in 1939, Prince Sihanouk became King, and 1947 when 23 years per block curses begin. 1st block 1947/48 (monarchy constitution) to 1970/71 (republic constitution). 2nd 1970/71 to 1993/94 (UN sponsor election). 3rd 1993/94 to 2016/17 (exterminate UN sponsor election system). 4th block and the final was up to 2057. Prophecy predict world crisis began 2006/07 and it was happened in 2008 (1st block curses begin). If the world did do more to prevent it, the next cycle is 2020/21. 1st block 2007/08 to 2020/21. If nothing substantially done, the next cycle will be 2032/33 and it will repeat in 2044/45 if the world didn't do anything about it. Now, the world curses is at 2nd block. Based on Cambodia paradigm, it will be war, famine, disaster, and so on. As the result one-third of population will perish. Now, we got Covid pandemic, Russia-Ukraine, ..., and so forth. God chose Cambodian as guinea pig for the world to avoid the catastrophe but how much we can do about it. If the world failed, devil will control the earth as one can be seen in Cambodia. Thomik White Race allowed thmil to share power with the elected candidate from France (prophecy said from the West) and then coup (ate candidate from the West). One thing, we can do is the eliminate the last curses in Cambodia. That way, the world could at least avoid the last curses from happening.
Uncle Shekharji - If you view everything about China from the western lenses and perspectives, you or we (Indians) will never understand the real China. These words were said by one former India's ambassador to China.
It's time for India and China to see 'eye-to-eye' and 'face-to-face' to engage and manage our differences. The more we allow the western power to entangle in our relations and dictate the narratives, the more it will work to the detriment of both India and China in the long run. The only winner will be the US who will continue to dominate and dictate world at their own whims and fancies. My fellow Indians, lets be wiser, let's make the Asian Century a reality. If US is allowed to played their dirty games in Asia, Asian century will never see the light of the day.
Agree bro
This is the smartest statement I've seen on this comment section.
The US would throw all of India under the bus to take down China. See what's happening in Ukraine? India and China have existed peacefully for centuries as top economic powers in the regions.
To illustrate what you are saying, I am posting an Indian source link about the Tian An Men incident.
ruclips.net/video/ycrOIrORKvw/видео.html
As you can see, many Indians know the truth, but it is not politically useful. Compare with how the Indian mainstream is covering the same event.
I totally agree. China has done it and so can India. It is Asia’s turn to work hard and raise our standard of living. Co operation, understanding and give and take. It will be a win win for the whole of Asia. Good luck.
True! BUT MUTUAL RESPECT IS IMPORTANT!! CHINA SAYS AND TEACHES ITS STUDENTS THAT INDIA IS FILLED WITH SLUMS AND IS UNDERDEVELOPED- WHY?- BECAUSE ITS A DEMOCRACY!! I CAN LIST COUNTLESS CHINESE SLUMS THAT EXIST STILL TODAY!! Chinese Propagandists NEED TO COOL DOWN JUST LIKE AMERICAN PROPAGANDISTS!!
The US have 900 military bases around the world and no one talks about that
No need too. Everyone knows it! Hoorah USA!!!

You guys fall for it over and over. It was reported sometime in October 2020 that Cambodia and China were going to expand the base.
Yet the MSM has sensationalized it and campaign this as a new news.
Google it and see for yourselves. " " Cambodia naval base set to undergo China-led expansion " 2020.
Sensationalized it and add a little fear factor to the headline.
Oooo OMG, a Secret base....LOL...😁 Now all the talking heard are talking about it.
Wake up people. Don't be a follower.
@@cosmoray9750 I haven't fallen for anything. I use my own brain. I look at news all over the world. I know much about history. And what I don't know or question I look it up....as for Cambodia and China, let them. If the Cambodians want to make deals or work with China or Kow Tow to China let them. China and Cambodia are only two countries out of 197. Due to the selfish and unfriendly nature of the Chinese, I think it's fair to say the Chinese could use some friends as the majority of the world don't like the Chinese , not to mention they caused COVId and keep bullying nations in the South China sea...... So let them and the Cambodians eat and share rice together. It will only force other south east nations to rise up and form more alliances in and outside the region as well as force them to beef up their militaries, which they all need to do anyway so that one of them or many of them won't get caught as sitting Ducks should missiles start raining down ..........if China, the Chinese, were not so racist, rude, selfish, greedy, and unfriendly, and could get along more with others, they would have more alliances. Even the alliances they have now in many ways are just like them....ie, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, to name a few. And these are racist nations and can't get along with the rest of the world either. Pity breeds pity. Pity needs pity. Birds of a feather flock together. Misery brings misery.... There you have it .
Even if China were making a military base. Why not? They only have a handful across the globe compared to almost 100 across 70 countries in the world no where near US. At least Solomon Islands, Cambodia and Africa are close to China and direct trade partners. Its no business of the West to meddle in other countries politics and choices they believe are in the best interests of their own people
Slight edit as your figures may have been a tad off, because There are roughly 750 US foreign military bases; they are spread across 80 nations! After the U.S is the UK, but they only have 145 bases. Russia has about 3 dozen bases, and China just five. This implies that the U.S has three times as many bases as all other countries combined.
@@TheAntMuzak The 5 you claim as chinese military bases are even dubious they are a MILITARY base.
China has one base that is shared with the UN. Solomon islands is a security agreement due to Australian coordinated attacks on Chinese businesses on the island. The talk about a Chinese military base is western propaganda with ZERO proof.
@@TheAntMuzak The China threat is overblown to demonize it.
USA: We have 800 military bases around the world。
India: that's OK, we understand that, I will bla, bla, bla China.
USA: Good dog。
India： Wagging tail
Its about *SECRET* bases. You know about these others clearly in your comment. Are you dumb, wumao?
Chinese bots😂
When Cambodia was in trouble, only China was willing to help Cambodia. Now Cambodia is giving its best friend what it wants so what's wrong...?
Exactly

How china help cambodia ..please tell me ...
The relationship between Chinese and Khmer happens since before Angkor period, we trade and we were ally, the marching of Khmer army with China were carved on the temple. The reason that this is being discussed world wide because China is U.S's rival and U.S has been the big guy for decades now and when that big guy sees someone else is catching up, he sort of like inform everyone else world wide to turn their face on his rival so that he can be in power.
No no no if the CCP would be a peaceful power which adheres to human rights, individual rights and international law instead of bullying nearly every country in the pacific never mind the appalling genocide of the Uyghurs and opression of Chinese people and much less the announcement to take Taiwan with force which means they are prepared to kill many many innocent people, the picture would be completly different. Even if the US sees them as a competitor and likes to have some kind of allignment against China, the world would not follow that seriously if the CCP would be a good and peaceful power. But they arent thats why everybody is anxious and willing to partake in an allignment to stop their dangeruous ambitions. I mean they pretty much remind people of Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany. I hope they never go that far but it is not unlikley. You see how sad the situation is that the World has to take war seriously into account because of CCPs action. Nobody forced them to behave and assert themselfs like that. They chose to be the bully and dangerius appalling corrupt and unethical authoritarian dictatorship without any freedom, liberty or rights for the people.
@Can't mossad the Assad Hey thank you for saying that. Many people forget and do not see that simple fact. Chinese culture, history and their people are great and they could be much better with a better government which respects peoples rights and would guide the populace accordingly, the Chinese society would be very mich different. But it is the CCP which is the core and orign of all the evil in China, not the ordinary people. They are just unfortunate to live under such oppression and daily propaganda for the CCP.
Akha from Funan to Zhengle than Khmer and Angkor Wat
@Can't mossad the Assad you mean like bjp and india?
@@tweedy4sg That is an unfair comparison ! Come to the city of Kolkata, in Eastern India, You will understand the difference between the two!
The US has over 800 military bases and has China surrounded with their bases with plenty of missiles aimed at it.It is not surprising China needs to have their own bases to defend itself in the event of an attack by the US.Instead of picking on China which has only 1 base so far,you should focus on the US if you are really interested in peace in the region.

As a khmer,we always want to stay neutral,yet war keeps on forcing us in. We don't have much choice with the west thus we turned to China regardless of traps,and now the west thinks we're enemies. The people can't decide where the future of this country is heading,and we know that no one wants us,nor respect us like during the cold war. Our wish to stay neutral was never granted.
You know that some Indian guy started Cambodia?
I think khamer also means something like that.
@@supersuper3493 ? Khmer not khamar . Started Cambodia? What do u mean
Do you know how much infrastructure China has built for your country and how much free vaccine given ? The same goes for Laos and they are very grateful to China for their high speed rail. Look at how US treated Latin America and you should realize the difference. Moreover, US is 8000 km away and why are they here.
Until today, China is helping your country in clearing the mines planted by US and Vietnam.
@@stevencher9968 yeah I think people know that but it's more of a deal really .
The US with its bases from Hawai Japan South Korea Philippines to Diego Garcia criticized China of building bases and militarization... Great Joke...
The fact that there are over 700 US military base world wide, it's so many that Pentagon can't list them all and No one Talks about This!
Because the US thinks other countries are stupid to understand this fact
People are afraid of US if they talk about American hegemony...such cowardice!!!
It's a matter between Cambodia n China. What business is it of US? US had a military base in Philippines, so that's OK? But China cannot?
America gets upset and butthurt with everything a sovereign country does yet believes in freedom 🙄🙄🙄
The USA wants to remain the only superpower and policeman in the world.
Why such a turmoil for ONE BASE? Was anybody concerned with the more that ONE Hundred USA bases around the world?
Is this just a privilege of the empire?,
I don't think so. Every country has the right to implement their own defenses. But 100 bases just mean one think: A total domination.
Because nobody trusts China. Literally nobody.
Always questions about the west and their intentions - but no questions about China. They cannot be trusted.
100 ?
US has around 800 bases
What entitles the US to have 800 hundred military bases around the world and even a half dead colonizer UK still has 150 bases. Why is ok for US who is 8000 km away having used that base in Cambodia previously and now all those imperialists and their lackeys crying foul if China has that same base ? Don't kid yourself, there's always an inner self subconsciously being able to acknowledge truth and fairness.

Nobody is crying!! It is only that your intentions are SINISTER!!
China helping Cambodia navy base for Cambodia military forces station base , why American or western countries are soon worried the China CPC had another military base camp in Cambodia , looks as American more than 350 military base camp surrounding whole world nations . Cambodia government needs China CPC help to build navy base , is belongs to China navy. American can build navy base camp at India , for American navy station .
So basically, the Chinese are doing their homework well
Despite all the lengthy talks, India will still be unable to match.
The truth of the matter is that politicians in the West and the US including Australia (Australia which is psychologically totally confused and suffering from an identity crisis as it thinks it is "west" when the reality is that it is geographically part of Asia!!!), are still stuck in their mental capacity and attitude in the glory days of "empire" 5-6 centuries ago.
They may have learned to wear Gucci suits nowadays but nothing else seem to have evolved in their psyche and consciousness from their barbarian days. Instead of recognising their sordid past and history , they celebrate their delusions like "Thanksgiving Day" which the Native American Indians rightly and clearly remember and commemorate as their "Day of Mourning" being the beginning of the murdering, genociding, plundering, stealing, raping and ultimately, OCCUPATION , of their land uninvited, without any due compensation even till today.
But these thieves and robbers take a lot of pride in the stories they tell themselves and sell to the world how great their "founding" was!!! Same stories with the "Empire" where the sun never sets. Australia with the Aborigines. New Zealand with their Maoris. The African continent with all those Europeans...........it goes on and on. This is the 21st Century , for chrissakes! Grow up and come out of that sick and primitive mentality of never ending desire to dominate, control and subjugate.
The zillions of dollars spent on wars and "defence" and the other zillions being hoarded by the 1% is more than sufficient to provide every human being on the planet a very decent and never anything wanting life on this planet with the healthiest and cleanest environment. And we pride ourselves as being the only creature on earth with the intelligence, consciousness and capacity of free will and choice. And these sick politicians choose never ending squabbles, tensions and wars!!! Go figure.

Australia does not have any confusion
It is historically and culturally Anglo Saxons and a colonial project of UK like Israel new Zealand and panama
One critical point did not mention, was Vietnam back in the 70, wanted to invade and occupy Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and all the way to Malaysia and Singapore. It was historically fact. Without China's help to teach Vietnam a lesson, Vietnam will now be the biggest big bully in South East Asia. Many South East Asian do remember this part of the history. However, when Singapore government mentioned this history few years ago, Vietnam got very angry. And wanted Singapore to apologize. But fact is fact, nothing to deny. Thankfully with the China's help, Vietnam toned down and focus on economy rather than trying to eat up South East Asia.
By the way, Cambodia is still very wary of Vietnam, including Thailand.
China should learn a lesson too just like Vietnam did.

The reason why Cambodia gives good friends to China So whats wrong????????????? , America and the whole Asians can never help only talk nonsense. Stop being toxic about this story
Stop hyping,it was never a secret base
Occasionally I watched your channel and enjoyed it. Please allow me to share some thoughts on this episode.
Point 1. When the word clandestine or secret is used, it conjures evil or ill intention. Cambodia sees it as a continuing close relationship with China, stretching over a thousand years, with the relationship even recorded in the carvings on Ankor Wat. The West wants to portray it as an exploitation and domination of a small neighbouring nation by a big nation. Remember US has more than 800 bases all over the world, in nations big and small. Also, you don't need to google much on how they have been exploiting not just small but also big nations. Besides, note that Cambodia has an independent foreign policy condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine, very different from China's.
Point 2. You also mentioned China has a base in Djibouti as a case that, while it accuses US of aggression, it is also harbouring a similar ambition. If you had mentioned that Djibouti also has an American and also a Japanese base, all near to each other, the context changes. The bases are mainly for anti-piracy purpose.
Point 3. You mentioned your sources as WP and WSJ. These, and other Western mainstream media, carry the most anti-China reports. I used to be an avid listeners of BBC. They aired highly biased news and reports of India and other former British colonies. Now Western mainstream media are bending backward to charm India. Why? If India and China engage constructively with each other, the two neighboring giants will bring about the long overdue Asian Century. So, divide and rule is in the well used colonial playbook - amplify distrust.
Unfortunately, the Third World and developing nations are dependent on western mainstream media which dominated air, digital and printed space, written with Anglo Saxon lenses of fears and bias. India needs to generate more of its own sources of information at ground level.
Still on the topic on trust, a Belgian, Pascal Coppens, who has a deep knowledge of China and western culture wrote a book 'Can we trust China'. Your channel may wish to explore his experience
ruclips.net/video/7pw2dJsgGOU/видео.html
Exactly my thought as an Indian. I feel sad sometime because we Indians are easily manipulated by the west at will. Not saying China is the best neighbor we have, but the issue and problems between India and China are exaggerated and manipulated by the West, western media and narratives. We Indian should know that if we are in China's position today - big, stronger and powerful, USA will do every evil thing that they are trying to do with China now - like pulling India's leg, spreading fears about India and human rights issue and what not.
Fortunately many Indians are waking up to Western Hypocrisy lately, particularly to that of US double standard hypocrisy. Shekharji views on China has became very shallow nowadays, only basing his opinions mostly from the most untrustworthy sources - the Western Media
As China becomes more powerful, its going to be a bigger bully and threat to India and other Asian countries. That's why India will have no choice but to move closer to America.
@@kolviczd6885 You are exactly right. The West will never trust China or India as one of them. They continue to rule the world as they like, dividing China and India. As China grows, they want India to counter it.
Yet, the West knows India holds the key to the whole equation. Imagine Russia + India + China = Eurasian Century. Just economics alone. India has a history of spreading religion (Hinduism and Buddhism far and wide but never took lands. China has a history of trading along the Silk Route as far as Africa and also never took lands. Europeans spread Christianity, conquered and colonized far and wide. Both India and China are victims of colonization. Yet, the West talks about values. Russia is fighting for its existence as NATO expands right up to its borders.
China and India have border disputes, a legacy left by the colonial master. They can resolve them. China and Russia had even more extensive and complicated border disputes but were resolved. Russia can play the mediator.
Both India and China and post-Soviet Russia have a history of non interference with the internal affairs of other countries. They will not form alliance but will cover for each other if bullied. They will take care of their internal affairs without interference from the West.
Will India join the West or to engage with its Eurasian neighbours to develop the biggest market together? In any case, as the climate change affects the Himalaya, India and China (and Pakistan) must collaborate.
I look forward to a more peaceful world than what the West is now doing with regime changes, sanctions and wars fought almost every year for the last 100 years.
Let's hope it will be a reality coming through.

They just forgot India and China had been having great neighborhood for over 3000 years.
Nobody should trust Western goons!!!
If Ukraine has a right to choose their allies surely Cambodia has the same rights. No country is going to share their national security information with the world. India should focus on India, you guys don't even have indoor plumbing in many parts of your country

Good job PRC. What is the problem with India? Butt hurt? Why?
Just relax. Cambodia has over thousand years friendship with China and it's nothing new!
It is good news, there should be more of such Chinese military bases in this region to balance the American domination. India should invite the Chinese to build a few joint military bases in India.
Why you never question American bases in Philippines, Singapore, Thailand etc? Biased, lopsided plainly anti China.
Interview Kishore Mahabubani of Singapore to know the benefits of living under influence of China. Also note that Laos and Myanmar are China supporters.
Cambodia is poor and has outdated military, and we need sponsor. Please, Indian government sponsor us and stop jealous with China. Cambodia love you all. Please build a bigger port than Chinese in my country. First come first serve.

What's wrong China build a Naval Base in Cambodia. In fact China should also build not only a Military Air Base but also a camp to station their troops there to safeguard her security. Most Pacific Islands also are requesting China Presence to safeguard and protect their security in case the US IMPERIALISM wants to change the regime.
The original base was built by the US just enough to be serviceable for the US stationed there until they went away. Obviously the cambodians wanted a modern port/naval base built for them for free and all it takes is give the chinese special docking rights, not a bad deal for them.

I think there is no secret base in Cambodia. Cambodia does not have depth see base for huge ships to visit us. China just came to help building it and leaves. Cambodia has been exploited by neighbors for centuries. Many broken ships of boat are sent to overseas to be fixed. If Cambodia has a depth sea base, it allows many huge ships to visit, reducing costs and improving Cambodian economy.
This naval base will give China a strategical advantage

As a side note: China only has problems with some countries in South East Asia because of the islands ( Philippines, Vietnam, kind of Malaysia and that's it ). The rest of South East Asian countries would do their own stuff with China. Then, China has a influence in Vietnam in their culture because they are similar (it was more strong in the past with Tv shows, films, songs, etc.) and Malaysia because a sizable minority of Chinese with have influence in its economy. So I'd say it will natural to see more of these treaties in the future......
Respectfully disagree..
The determining factor here is not language, culture or ethnicity. It is ideology.
The Chinese Communist Party has an expansionist ideology and anyone who comes in their way is a rival (or a future rival).. it’s just a matter of time. Even Russia and Pakistan or even N Korea for that matter are not immune to this ideology.
After getting some success, they will pull out some map of 6th century BC when N Korea was part of some Chinese dynasty for a couple of days and make a claim on it.

There is a difference between being proud of your history (in a cultural and civilization perspective) and making a claim on those lands because some king (from your country) sent emissaries and influenced that culture..

The first time PRC participated in the Olympics was in 1952. They won just one medal and boycotted all subsequent Olympics until 1984. On their comeback, they ranked 4th in the medal tally and in recent years consistently finish second. The Chinese always come prepared. They are the USSR that never came to be. The global DOMINATION of the DRAGON is INEVITABLE. It might even be sooner than expected. It is bound to come after Taiwan and Tawang. India needs to PULL ITS SOCKS. Also, expect nothing much from QUAD. I am sure the US will eventually cozy up to China.
💯 % very well SAID! INDIA 🇮🇳 MUST PAY ATTENTION & AND BE PREPARED FOR ANY OUTCOME, AS FOR THE QUAD, IT HAS NO BITE,,, TRADEING WITH CHINA 🇨🇳 IS BIG BUSINESSES, 💰 💰.
Chinese have very poor army. You can not hold any territory without excellent ground force. The recent Ukraine war is an example. Chinese lost more than Indians in Galwan even when they came prepared against unarmed Indians. I see very remote possibility of Chinese being able to fight India. Remember that if they fight full fledged war with India, we will go back to pre 90s economically, but Chinese may go back to Mao era, they have so many enemies.

I love your stuff!! Always so interesting and heaps of very helpful information! Thank you Sir!
Hope that is chinese navy base
Hi, dont be fooled. China is building seaports, roads, airports and hydroperwer stations etc in Cambodia. Mostly for trades, economic and social development. No Chinese military base in Cambodia. But Cambodia troops mostly use Chinese and Russian made weapons, trucks and airdefence systems. Vietnam remains a closed ally of Cambodia and China. No such conflict of interests between these 3 nations.
That is not true, right now Vietnam allied with American against China
@@sereytep9880 hi, Vietnam is an ally of USA? Totally wrong. Vietnam remains an ally of China, called Indo China alliance. There are 4 nations China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Loa. These 4 nations use same weapons, and military training. USA has no room among 90% Vietnamese. Except, Vietnamese Americans who live in USA. Vietnamese will never forget mass killing, 6 million plus Vietnamese committed by US forces during Vietnam war.
Good coverage SG and special mention to Aadhil Brar. Lets learn the chinese more😉
Irony is after facing so much security challenges, Modi govt is not increasing defense budget, equipment-machinery-infrastructure procurement and development, theateraization, R&D etc.
Strategizing by making good alliances with our Asia Middle East region for DEFENCE & ECONOMIC advantage is PARAMOUNT.
Our government is strategizing only on winning the 2024 ELECTIONS by religious polarization and in consequence creating more enemies around the region.
Only one base in Cambodia. China needs to catch up with the US by building another 900+ bases. China is 4x the population of US.
God bless China 🇨🇳.
Only Shekhar Sir can make a globe interesting in the age of digital maps
I just wanna point out that India now has access to Vietnamese military bases in the same region. Could you guys do a video on this as well ? It’s a very big development
yes but can India access it during war time?
The one by China in Cambodia is like a Chinese naval base.
@@svs4305 That’s the point. India should be able to access it during wartime, coz if not there isn’t any point
@@svs4305 Yes, Mutual Logistics Agreement we sign don't make a difference between Peace times & War.
WTF India needs access to Vietnam? Stay home and take care of your impoverished people!
Why would India like to get involved in a navy war with China? Better to work with China for the maintenance of regional peace.
1947 India population is 14% world
GDP 3,0% world
2022 India Population 18%
GDP 3,18 % World GDP
Conclusion India is already a Superpower

I thank you Shekhar. Wonderful reporting.
Sir thanks and
We need some new series
On intrenational affairs from you sir .
Who told you China's base in my country? Our country have freedom and Sovereignty to developing our Navy Base and our military power. For our law are not allow foreign military base in our country.
It would be really funny, that it really is a Chinese base. Hun sen is a funny man.
Who else if not the big boss that is USA bro
Thanks!
US has over 800 military bases on land and sea and have been waging wars and destructions. Why not discuss in this?
because the Indian media has also participated in the US/Western media information vortex, such as Wion who never stops "attacking" China.
Bangladesh 🇧🇩 also making a huge submarine base and submarine maintenance & manufacturing, weapon storage facility in Cox's bazar By the help of China 🇨🇳. Cambodia 🇰🇭 also doing same thing. Nothing else.
We all know Cambodia is not a sovereign country that can choose its own friends and alliances. This ‘freedom ‘ is only guaranteed for colonialist and their favorite post colonial lacked such as India. India cannot remember Goa then propagandized China and Taiwan. What hypocrisy!
Duh! They are building a base for the same reasons as the Americans except the USA did it 700 times.
It will be interesting to see what our govt plans for the security as well as development of Andaman and Nicobar Islands for trade, since it is geographically located near to the Gulf of Thailand where this port is. Andaman islands can be a part of the trade route coming into Indo- Pacific if infrastructure is developed properly. Security wise too it is very important for India as it is strategically located. Hope the islands are given due attention.
We have a base at Sabang, Indonesia and we signed a logistics agreement with Vietnam.
no indo in pacific
Nicobar island will be developed..There is a plan..
We have a base in Thailand don't worry
Let's wait and watch Harisundar. Do head to our website for the quickest updates & some fine insights from experts - Shekhar
Why did nobody raise a ruckus when the US built a base in that exact spot? Now, when China is building a proper port, doesn't really matter if it'll be for the chinese, cambodians or for both, the west and you are now making a very big deal out of it. Isn't it more logical that the chinese is will have a base there (if ever that is true) rather than the US because China and Cambodia have been long time allies? It was China who aided cambodia during its war with Vietnam.
Ponpot support?
If it is “secret” how do you know?
Cambodia has right to choose which side they sided... congrats to combodia that will has new military facilites in ream with helped by china.
Why every body mad on china's navy based while U.S has more militaries based all around the world ?
Why would india not be vocal about the issue you discussed
So essentially Jaishanker was "all talk" about 'looking east' while Chinese made a massive move 🤨 Giving snarky remarks without much weight unfortunately isn't productive, but earns you gullible fans ofcourse
Cambodia not Combodia. The headline title misspelled...
china also had invested alot in vietnam not only in cambodia. for a long time, cambodia is china friend
2:00 when you haven't installed Google maps on your phone.
When US can have around 800 military bases around the world included Philippine, Spore etc, why China cannot have military base in Cambodia. Furthermore, this is Asia area which is closer to China but thousands of miles from US.
Silly analysis. Pariah argument.
If Chinese establish a base next to theur country there is furore but when US establish 800 bases all over the world that is normal ! Let's not tow American line ! Indian Military Veterans
Because India and its media have been instigated by US thinking bro, they don't seem like the US continues to pit India against China... for US interests lol
Why do the commentator not talking about hundred of US military bases all over the world, yet discussing a potential Chinese base in Cambodia??? You are pleading on US behalf or you are paid by US State Department???
Very informative.
There are no chinese base in Cambodia, this is a constructed to put pressure on Cambodia.
Why no one dare to criticize hundreds of USA military bases outside USA, including at Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean!
Can you see a large island near Cambodia on the map? That is an island of Vietnam, Hun Sen gave that island to Vietnam in 1982.
I thought one of the tenets of democracy is freedom of choice?
it is nothing secret at all. they are upgrading the existing naval base not build a new one.
For Cambodians feeling that India is scared/jealous/not happy with the development of Cambodia. It is not so. You want to rekindle your ancient ties and racial relationships with China, go ahead, more power to you. It is only natural that people wants to attached themselves with success. Even us, Indians face the same problem that our youngsters wants to follow the west ideas of individuality and freedom not the Dharmic Values of India.
India and Indians are only worry about the independence of Cambodia.
We see what is happening in our neighborhood like in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. And who is helping them without string attached, of course one would not compromise their interest in helping them.
India is not wealthy like China that it can fund big infrastructure projects in its neighbours, which are in dire need of. Hell only now with the current BJP government at helm that India is highly focusing on its own infrastructure. Unless India becomes a 10-12 trillion dollar economy, don't aspect auch moves from India.
You are geographically knowledgeable and smart !!!
US have hundreds of bases in Asia, what’s wrong with China having a base in Asia??
Loved the opening statement by Gupta sir 😂
The WSJ might sue you for calling them the Washington post lol
This is base number 2 and the US has 800+ bases worldwide! And you are alarmed? 😂 give it a break and focus on your people.
Very thorough and detailed
Please don't forget the US prefers to fight wars far away from its own territory. All the talk about an "Asian Century" might lead to more trouble than India and China can handle. Remember the Cowboys and Indians. 20,000 Indians had no chance against 500 cowboys when they were still using bows and arrows.
I wish the visualisation could do justice to the content that shekhar uncle brings to the table!
Brother you are bitting the bush. Please tell the main reason. In my view China is making naval base in Cambodia to counter India base in Vietnam. If India wants to reach Vietnam , definitely they have to pass via combodian jurisdiction.
That is Khmer Navy Base not Chiness Navy base. We just ask Chiness to build up and technical equipment. Only for protection my country. Don't be worry.
Isn't China also building a canal through Thailand to give it a direct access to the Andaman and Nicobar area?
Yes it is to avoid using the Strait of Malacca,the issue is that it would create a geographical divide and what i have heard is that it would promote seperatism
@@vedgr8605 Yes, indeed in Thailand. Separatism is a big issue. There was concern regarding the cost of building the canal and its impact on the Thai economy.
I heard that project is scrapped
@@santusanturohit4832 As of now. The government of Thailand is still interested for its coast to coast connectivity project. They are exploring other solutions for this project.
@@happyeastwood Let Thai build it but without Chinese Money
This makes much more sense, and is even more concerning for India, when considering this base together with the proposed Kra Canal I Thailand.
