Cambodia is relieved! Facing the visiting Chinese special envoy, Cambodia has given great importance to the matter. On December 22, according to domestic media reports, after our Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Special Envoy Deng Xijun visited Cambodia, Cambodia issued a statement specifically stating that Prime Minister Hun Manet expressed sincere gratitude to China for its efforts in restoring peace between the two countries and maintaining regional stability. During this period, several Cambodian officials, including Hun Manet, held meetings with our special envoy.
Evidently, what message does Cambodia's attitude convey? It is likely at least two points: First, Cambodia fully recognizes our mediation capabilities in regional affairs and acknowledges our significant influence in regional matters, which is also an opportunity to strengthen relations with us. Second, Cambodia's statement is in line with our position; Cambodia hopes to use China's strength to quickly achieve a ceasefire and end the war.
In fact, in terms of the current situation, since the escalation of the Thailand-Cambodia conflict, the situation has become increasingly unfavorable for Cambodia. Not only have the Cambodian people been displaced, but the leadership of Hun Mene has also faced challenges. Timely cessation of hostilities and minimizing losses clearly aligns with Cambodia's interests. China's involvement not only provides a bridge for communication and dialogue between the two countries but also alleviates the domestic livelihood pressures caused by the war, stabilizes the ruling foundation, and gains the initiative in complex regional games, avoiding becoming a pawn of external forces. Obviously, China's intervention has given Cambodia a sense of relief, which helps achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible.
