Funan Techo Canal to provide economic dividends, says PM

Prime Minister Hun Manet yesterday expressed great hope on the new Funan Techo Canal waterway project, a major infrastructure investment in the transport sector of Cambodia that can boost the country’s economic development. The waterway project links Bassac River to the coastal port.

Great idea!!! It makes Cambodia competitive in our products/goods. There is plenty of water to go around beacause there is a lot of flood everywhere. No country should worried. Ask upper stream countries to release more water, stop blocking water with their dams. Just compensate the people around the current canal fairly.

Cambodia is becoming an autonomous province of China. Trust me!

Stupid move. A railway could serve transportation purpose.

Ungrateful Hunsen forgot the day he fled Pol Pot and went to Vietnam to ask for help. Without Vietnam's help, Hunsen would not be in the position he is today. Cambodia followed the path of Pol Pot 50 years ago, listening to China's words of killing Cambodians, eliminating the neighborly relationship with Vietnam because of the illusion of benefits of the Funan Canal. Just like Nepal and other African countries fell into debt traps when China lent money to build ports, hydroelectric projects, and water diversion dams. These projects have destroyed the natural environment and people's living environment without exploiting economic benefits, leading to bankruptcy and becoming a debtor of China, so the land must be assigned for 100 years to pay. debt, politics will depend on China, other resources will be exploited and brought back to China at cheap prices. The Cambodian people will suffer soon. China benefits the most when Vietnam and Cambodia are in conflict; whichever country is weak, China will jump in immediately. The possibility of this project going bankrupt is high because in the dry season, to store water for the hydroelectric dams above, the canal can only accommodate small boats, which will surely result in a debt trap for China.
