Cambodian PM says no China naval base being built
Cambodia will not allow foreign military bases on its soil, strongman premier Hun Sen said on Monday (Nov 19), swatting away United States concerns about a possible Chinese naval site near hotly contested seas. China has lavished billions of dollars in soft loans, infrastructure and investment on the poor South-east Asian kingdom, gifting Prime Minister Hun Sen with a fast-growing economy that he wields as justification for his 33-year authoritarian rule.
