The Cambodian government has so far rejected the calls from the students, saying it does not intend to raise the issue with Jiang, whose visit is being hailed as a sing of the warmth of ties between Cambodia and China. You know full well that china was not the only country that supported the Khmer Rouge. China did not have warm relations with Cambodia in the 1980s, since it was backing the Khmer Rouge fighters that were trying to oust the Vietnamese-supported government. Since Prime Minister Hun Sen became the sole premier after factional fighting broke out in 1997, Cambodia and China have again been strengthening ties. China is now a major bilateral donor, spending millions on building wells dams and refurbishing the Senate building.
China is also one of the top five foreign investors in Cambodia.
