Before the mediation of the US President, Cambodia and Thailand had actually ended the fighting yesterday at noon. Due to the complex terrain caused by heavy rain, both sides have withdrawn to their occupied positions and remained silent since then. The conflict between Cambodia and Thailand is complex, involving political, economic, and family conflicts, far more than just a territorial issue. Even if this round of peace talks is successful, the war will likely resume soon. Hun Sen and Thaksin both hope to gain family interests through controlled border conflicts, consolidate domestic political status, and achieve business transformation. Without achieving their ultimate goals, the conflict cannot be thoroughly resolved. However, regardless of that, this war between a gambling boss and a telecom tycoon will not affect the strategic planning of neighboring major powers; on the contrary, it has pushed the resolution of some complicated issues.
