Cambodians Protested Against the Alleged Construction Plan of China Military Base in Cambodia
Some Cambodian citizens gathered in front of the Chinese Embassy in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, protesting against China of proposing a military site in Cambodia.
In the protest on Friday (23rd October), citizens clashed with the police and the police arrested many protestors. It is reported that the Phnom Penh Police detained at least three protesters in a Police truck nearby after the arrest at the scene.
Reuters reported that one of the protestors waved the Cambodian flag and shouted, “We refuse to let China build a military base in Cambodia”. The police at the scene warned the protestors to dismiss within 5 minutes through a loudspeaker.
There have been reports stating that China and Cambodia had made a secret deal. It showed that the Phnom Penh government allocated a piece of land at Ream Naval Base in a port city Preah Sihanouk to China, for them to set up a military base. As a result, the China Navy can enter the coastal deepwater area of the Gulf of Thailand.

International Criminal Court Rejects Uighur Genocide Accusations Against China
Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague rejected the calls from Uighurs outside China for the investigation against China's alleged genocide and crimes against humanity.
Uighurs outside China submitted hundreds of pages of evidence to the ICC in July, accusing China of setting up “re-education camps” in Xinjiang, detaining more than a million Uighurs and other predominantly Muslim minorities, and forcing women to undergo sterilisation.
However, the office of ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said that they were unable to take action as the alleged acts took place within Chinese territory, which is not a signatory to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The annual report also noted, “no basis to proceed at this time” regarding allegations that Uighurs were forcibly deported from Tajikistan and Cambodia to China.
Nevertheless, the Uighurs argued that actions can still be taken even if the alleged deportations did not take place on Chinese territory because part of the criminal conducted in Tajik and Cambodian, which are parties to the Roman Statute of the ICC.

Spies for Hire: China’s New Breed of Hackers Blends Espionage and Entrepreneurship
China’s buzzy high-tech companies don’t usually recruit Cambodian speakers, so the job ads for three well-paid positions with those language skills stood out. The ad, seeking writers of research reports, was placed by an internet security start-up in China’s tropical island-province of Hainan.
That start-up was more than it seemed, according to American law enforcement. Hainan Xiandun Technology was part of a web of front companies controlled by China’s secretive state security ministry, according to a federal indictment from May. They hacked computers from the United States to Cambodia to Saudi Arabia, seeking sensitive government data as well as less-obvious spy stuff, like details of a New Jersey company’s fire-suppression system, according to prosecutors.

🇺🇸🇰🇭🇨🇳🇻🇳 US, Vietnam fear Cambodia’s China-backed canal could serve military goals
The US is urging greater transparency from Cambodia over a planned US$1.7 billion canal that observers say could be used to bolster China’s military presence in the Southeast Asian nation, posing a potential security threat to regional neighbors like Vietnam.
Spanning some 180km from Phnom Penh to the coastal province of Kep, construction on the Techo Funan Canal is slated to begin later this year after China Bridge and Road Corporation landed a deal to develop it during a Belt and Road Initiative summit in October.
Vietnamese academics worry that the project could support the transport of military ships from the Gulf of Thailand where Washington believes China is building its first overseas base in the Indo-Pacific region – and is also concerned about the canal’s environmental impact, including that it will direct water away from the Mekong River.
Funan Techo Canal will allow Cambodia to bypass Vietnam for its international trade. Cambodia, for the first time, could import and export goods by ship from its capital Phnom Penh’s port via the canal to a would-be deepwater port in Kep province.
