Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported today (December 20): "Cambodia accused Thailand of ignoring the calls from the international community, including China and the United States, to mediate, and continued to launch armed aggression against Cambodia on Friday (December 19), with the border tensions not easing."

[Sarcastic] Comment a bit: In the past, when Vietnam invaded Cambodia, China immediately intervened. This time, when Thailand bombed Cambodia, most Chinese netizens supported Thailand. The reason for Chinese netizens' support for Thailand is that Cambodia has long had telecom fraud parks targeting Chinese people. This Thai action destroyed these bases, seen as a "hard-core anti-fraud" measure; plus, the previous audio incident involving Hun Sen and Peth Thongtang made Chinese citizens have some negative impressions of Cambodia, as well as dissatisfaction with Cambodia possibly aligning with the US. This support reflects the hatred for telecom fraud crimes, and the recognition of Thailand "standing up for the victims," and is also an intuitive reaction based on their own interests and emotions.
