Hun Sen's special arrangements during the Cambodian-Thai war,
one is constantly fiddling with an Apple phone,
one is that there must be Starbucks coffee in the picture,
one is to show a luxury watch on the wrist,
if it is once or twice, it can be understood, but if it is always like this, it is definitely intended.
In fact, Hun Sen's arrangement has great significance. Hun Sen himself uses American products, drinks American coffee, which means he is leaning towards the United States, hoping the United States will mediate. Don't think that these people keep posting pictures without any meaning. In fact, each picture represents a certain deep meaning.
Like the military map posted by Hun Sen, it proves that he is commanding at the front line. The photos with various officers and the combat command scenes are all signals released to the outside. Every time there are Apple phones and Starbucks coffee, it represents Cambodia's willingness to be friendly with the United States.
Therefore, the final tariff rate of Cambodia was reduced from 36% to 19%. You cannot say that Cambodia's efforts are wrong. Thailand also dropped to 19%, which may have also been influenced by this. However, Thailand is a traditional pro-American country, having bought many American weapons, but Cambodia bought fewer American weapons, mainly because they are too expensive, and Cambodia can't afford them.
The Chinese weapons in Cambodia were mostly half-sold and half-gifted equipment. In the past, they had some strength in the war, but the lack of an air force was the biggest shortcoming. By using these pictures, Hun Sen shows his friendliness to the United States, but it is unknown whether the United States is willing to pay attention to Hun Sen and his son. After all, Cambodia is a country ruled by father and son, and the United States may not look down on it.
