Cambodia has completely backed down! After seeing the conditions Thailand put forward, Cambodia is now relieved. But looking back, Cambodia should be grateful that we intervened in time and remained neutral. If we were not a responsible major country, Cambodia might have had to pay what kind of price!
On December 28th, according to foreign media reports, foreign media disclosed the conditions under which Cambodia agreed to a ceasefire.
There are two points worth noting about these conditions. First, Cambodia promised to work with Thailand to combat telecom fraud. Second, both Cambodia and Thailand committed to not spreading false information or rumors to the outside world. To be honest, these two conditions clearly show that Cambodia has made concessions to Thailand. For Thailand, is telecom fraud an issue? It's not really an issue. The real problem with telecom fraud is in Cambodia, not Thailand.
Evidently, in order to achieve a ceasefire, Hun Sen had no choice but to cut ties with telecom fraud groups. As for the commitment by both Cambodia and Thailand not to spread false information or rumors, this is essentially a request from Cambodia. After the conflict broke out between the two countries, there were many rumors in Thailand, especially after the Thai military seized Chinese equipment from Cambodia, which led to rumors that China was taking sides with Cambodia and that China had deployed missiles in Cambodia.
These rumors spread widely in Thailand, and the Thai government inevitably fell under public pressure, tending to take a hard line against Cambodia, which certainly is not what Cambodia wants to see. Controlling the rumors would help ease tensions and stop the conflict from escalating. Obviously, Cambodia hopes Thailand will crack down on the rumors to prevent the situation from worsening and avoid another conflict. Of course, Cambodia should be grateful that we never fanned the flames, but instead helped cool down the situation; otherwise, Cambodia might have faced much bigger problems.
