China will support the Cambodian government “in resisting Western intimidation”, Wang Tianxiang, the deputy director of the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry’s Division of Southeast Asian Affairs said, as bilateral relations reach “new heights”.

“China respects the future choices of Cambodia’s people and will support the government and Cambodians to be the master of their own house.”
