PM affirms ‘One-China’ stance
Prime Minister Hun Sen has told a solidarity dinner with the Cambodian-Chinese Association that Cambodia backs the “One-China policy” and will not allow the Taiwanese flag to be raised in the kingdom. This stance would avoid affecting the good relationship between the two countries. “I could not allow Taiwan to have an office in Phnom Penh or somewhere else,” he said. “We shall not do anything that harms the sovereignty and independence of China because of Taiwan. “China respects the sovereignty and independence of Cambodia and thus Cambodia has to do the same to China. If China helped a province that separated from Cambodia would we not be angry? We would have to be angry.”
