According to the Beijing Daily client, on December 17, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jiakun, held a regular press conference.

A reporter asked: According to reports, the Thai army seized Chinese-made anti-tank missiles and other equipment on the Cambodian military's front line during the conflict with Cambodia. What is China's comment on this?

"Please consult the relevant departments of China for specific details. We would like to emphasize that China has maintained normal defense cooperation with Thailand and Cambodia in the past, which is not aimed at any third party, and has nothing to do with the conflict along the Thai-Cambodian border," responded Guo Jiakun.

Since the cross-border fire between the two countries on December 7, the recent border conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia have continued to escalate, with both sides frequently using heavy weapons such as fighter jets and rocket launchers for aerial attacks and artillery bombardments across the border. The armies and governments of the two countries also frequently released messages on social media to support their positions in cyberspace.

According to previous information released by the Thai military, some Thai forces have seized Chinese-made anti-tank missiles and other weapons reportedly belonging to the Cambodian army, which has drawn public attention.

However, on October 2 this year, the Chinese Embassy in Thailand publicly stated on its Facebook page: Since the outbreak of the border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, as friendly neighbors of the two countries, China has been actively easing the situation in its own way. China has not provided any military equipment to Cambodia for the Thailand-Cambodia border conflict, and the current Chinese military equipment possessed by Cambodia comes from existing Sino-Cambodian cooperation projects.
