The picture comes from the Internet
A piece of news from Cambodia made many people fall into the eye, and it actually announced that it would withdraw from the "Cambodia-Lao-Vietnam Development Triangle" that is jointly developed with Viet Nam and Laos, which is really staggering! This cooperation mechanism has been in operation for more than 20 years, and the intimate relationship between the three countries seems to be cut off, so what is going on?
This reminds me of a couple of aunts chatting on the street the other day, and they were babbling, "Have you heard? Cambodia has turned its face with Viet Nam! "This situation is like someone falling out with their old friend for no reason, and the gossip of the whole city is instantly activated, and everyone wants to know the story behind it

Let's first look at this matter, Viet Nam and Laos' support for Cambodia over the years, that is not in vain, but Cambodia's mind is undergoing subtle changes, their eyes seem to be attracted by China in the past, once upon a time, Cambodia in foreign cooperation, Viet Nam's support is very important, but recently Cambodia has been stunned to dissociate itself from this old friend, can it be said that it has long ceased favor with Viet Nam?
Cambodia did this, which reminded me of the landlord couple in the community, who are usually a small and intimate team, and suddenly one day the landlady came back from the market and said to the male landlord: "I have decided to separate from you, I want to cooperate with Sister Li and do a side hustle," and all the neighbors were shocked and wondered: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Turn your head to see, the relationship between Cambodia and China is getting closer and closer, the construction of the Dechong Funan Canal is in full swing, if this canal is opened, Cambodia's shipping costs will definitely be greatly reduced, and various cooperation with Viet Nam and Laos in the future will seem a little "dispensable", in the blink of an eye, the balance of economic interests is quietly tilted, Cambodia's choice is very clear, they want the picture of relying on China and dominating the leader
So, what about Viet Nam's reaction? Not to mention, when the Viet Nam leader heard the news, it was estimated that he was like an undercover agent, and his inner drama was enough, for many years, Viet Nam regarded Cambodia as its important ally, and now this ally suddenly announced that "I will go to do business with others", which is absolutely a bolt from the blue for Viet Nam, just like the little friends around him were pulled away by other children, sitting alone on the side, and the feeling of isolation was very stinging

Viet Nam's media also reacted quickly, with reports everywhere and even a storm of public opinion on social networks, where everyone began to discuss whether Cambodia's move would put Viet Nam's other diplomatic cooperation in jeopardy, like a boiling kettle, began to bubble constantly, apparently confirming Viet Nam's current anxiety
At the end of the day, Viet Nam understands that the current partners are flexible, they need to find new opportunities for cooperation, strengthen ties with other countries, and if Viet Nam does not act in time, the future situation may be more complicated, and it is imperative that they try to rebuild friendship with Cambodia and leave each other a step down

When it comes to this land, the complex relationship between countries is like a sophisticated web page, each line connects different interests, and it is often not so simple, just like an intricate mahjong game, which is a stage where confrontation and cooperation coexist, and changes in any link may trigger a chain reaction
If Cambodia's withdrawal from the group is the result of thoughtless thinking, it is simply a kind of self-deception, and many Cambodian people have begun to speak out, the more practical example is that they have not received significant benefits from cooperation with Viet Nam, and they hope that through this move, they can send a clear signal to Viet Nam and Laos: we are no longer passively accepting, but actively pursuing our own interests

Such sentiments are completely understandable, not to mention that the interaction between countries is based on interests, and as Cambodia and China become more closely intertwined, they can shield Viet Nam and Laos from cooperation pressure, and gradually achieve their own development, this choice will naturally be praised
In the coming days, Cambodia, as a rising star in Southeast Asia, will be much more likely to register economic achievements, but it is still necessary to remain vigilant, when negotiating, do not lock yourself completely into a single partner, after all, it is not a long-term solution, international politics are becoming more and more complex, and maintaining diversified cooperative relations is the key to maintaining independence and discourse

When it comes to the future mode of cooperation, the relationship between the two countries is really not simple, there are both historical entanglements, and economic interests are intertwined, it is not easy to achieve peaceful coexistence, whether the future can be solved through consultation, rebuild trust and ties, but also depends on the wisdom of both sides, I hope Cambodia and Viet Nam can find a reasonable balance in this, after all, peace and cooperation is the situation that everyone wants
This situation often reminds me of the interpersonal relationships in my hometown, and at the end of the day, trust between people has always been important, isn't it? Everything can change over time, but only by deepening our relationship can we create a win-win situation

Having said this, I sincerely hope that the relationship between Cambodia and Viet Nam will eventually usher in a turnaround, and even take this opportunity to establish a broader cooperation platform, looking forward to the harmonious and beautiful Southeast Asia, where everyone can find their own development space
