PHNOM PENH, 20 years in the peace, Cambodia economic and prestige on the international are becomes remarkably noticed, but it was repeat attempted to against and bring down the nation again into the recession by injecting a shame political ideology.
Will the growing economy and its nation smile be slipped away again?
Currently, Cambodia’s economy has been relying on 4 strong pillars, textiles, garments and footwear, construction and real estate, tourism and agriculture, but one of them is being threatened.
Threatening
Turning direction to one other great power is a self-defending, not the Cambodia leader’s mistaken. What if a child was threatening by day and he would run to his mother to get covered.
EU removed the EBA tax on Cambodia rice is a small threat to Cambodia’s economy similarity as pouring a salt bag into the river, on the contrary if the EU’s EBA tax will be removed from Cambodia garment and footwear sector it does look like offering Cambodia a pot of burning rice. Cambodia will not stay hungry to death and will search for new pot, high or low qualities to cook rice for them self.
Thus, how Cambodia government will able to curb the wave of issues and how to push through and improve its economy? Cambodia will find the way because of the 3 strong major sectors and one other sector will appear to help growing the country economy move further.
Group of elegant politician
Cambodia has been implementing the democratization regime relying on the current economy, society and culture circumstance. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink and other fact that you never able to breed a cow with a donkey.
A group of politicians with Western ideology and the politics of revenge have exiled them self and trying to convince the international communities to impose sanctions on Cambodia, to withdraw aids, to end clothes ordering from the country and beyond that they urge to have EU’s EBA withdrawal from Cambodia.
It is a shame action for those opposition leaders who are more likely to kill the nation than to join for development. They seem want ignore the science of political and the international policy or they just act like they not aware of it.
Thailand can be a role model for them to reflect on. Thai Leaders who have been under constantly coup since Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his Pheu Thai party successors never ruin their reputation, sabotage and benefit to their own people.
It’s been already a headache for Cambodia government of having an international condemnation after the opposition party dissolution by Supreme Court, but government has no reason to allow the life of this party and to see chaos happening again in country. Hence, the European and US leaders should respond the question “Whether is it true they are happy to see Cambodia falls again into the warfare”.
Jean-François Hollande, a well-known international political analyst at RFI said, “Some Cambodian politicians who have been influenced by the West are the compliment politicians with the word of democracy and human rights as Cambodia does need variety partners to develop and restore the nation”.
Political ideology
Excluding the EBA from the country is not only referring to Cambodia only, but it is known that an influence by the Western and US by their political ideology. Intending to counteract again China influence in Cambodia and in particularly to against China influence everywhere in the world.
