China And Cambodia Military Exercise: China has tactfully strengthened its military ties with Cambodia. Amid questions arising over China’s growing influence on Cambodia, both countries started a 15-day military exercise on Thursday. About 1,315 military personnel from Cambodia and 760 military personnel from China are participating in the amphibious exercise “Golden Dragon”. Apart from this, three ships of China and 11 ships of Cambodia are also part of it. The first phase of the exercise has been launched at military bases in a jungle and mountainous area about 90 kilometers northwest of Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh. General Vong Pisen, commander in chief of Cambodia’s military, thanked China for providing new equipment and helping upgrade military facilities, including the Ream Namy naval base.
China’s surveillance will increase
The United States and other countries are concerned that China’s involvement in building a dock on Reem could make it a new observation post for China’s navy on the Gulf of Thailand. Not only this, China’s warships have been standing at the dock for more than five months, which has strengthened the concerns of America and other countries. Cambodia, however, stressed that its constitution prohibits the deployment of foreign military forces on its territory and the Defense Ministry said two Chinese warships were “testing” the docks and taking part in exercises. Are on.
There is trouble for India
It is also worth noting that China’s increasing influence on the Reem naval base can cause problems for India. At this base, bigger hangars than ever before for the stay of warships, underground tunnels for the stay of submarines, weapons depot, new buildings for the living and work of marines are ready. There is also information that China is building a dry dock at the Reem Naval Base, where warships and submarines will be taken out of the water and repair work will be done.
