China paid for it. China built it. Now, satellite photos reveal Chinese warships are a permanent feature at a new naval base “gifted” to Cambodia.
A 300-metre-long, military-grade pier – big enough to accommodate Beijing’s aircraft carriers – is chief among the facilities being constructed by China at the Ream Naval Base on the Gulf of Thailand.
These include a dry dock, a wharf, new offices and barracks and several other large buildings.

It’s been five years since we launched The Cambodia Daily Khmer — an online platform dedicated to Khmer-language speakers.
The work requires an annual budget of $100,000 to pay reporters, photographers, editors and web hosting fees. Faced with a substantial annual shortfall, we are left with little choice but to ask you, our dedicated readers and supporters, for help. Independent Cambodian voices are now more essential than ever. Please consider giving.
