Why a Chinese-Backed Canal Project in Cambodia is Making Vietnam Very Nervous

- Former Cambodian strongman Hun Sen was in Beijing last week lobbying the Chinese government to move forward with the $1.7 billion Funan Techo Canal project which his son, President Hun Manet, has made the centerpiece of his new administration.
The new canal would connect Phnom Penh's inland port to Kep province on the Gulf of Thailand, creating a new transport link for Cambodia's garment and agricultural exporters, among others.
However, the project is also raising concerns in neighboring Vietnam. Officials there are worried the new canal will divert water from the fragile lower Mekong Delta ecosystem, which provides a vital lifeline for millions of farmers. The Vietnamese also stand to lose a lot of business and are concerned about the potential security implications of the new canal.
Jack Brook, an independent journalist based in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, recently wrote about the canal for a story published in Nikkei Asia and joins Eric to explain why this project is generating so much controversy.

Nikkei Asia: Cambodia to divert Mekong trade via China-built canal, vexing Vietnam by Jack Brook: tinyurl.com/25j2fv3t
The project is in accordance with Article 5 of the 1995 Mekong Agreement, which requires that any projects on the Mekong River tributaries, including the Funan Techo Canal, must be notified to the Joint Committee. Cambodia has met this requirement accordingly, showcasing its dedication to regional collaboration and sustainable growth. Thus, there are legal operational reasons for Cambodia to implement this project.
The water is not 100% from Mekong, it’s from one of the existing canal near Phnom Penh which is taking greater from Tonle Sap & Mekong while fresh water is tastefully flows into the ocean annually. Thus is not about what Cambodia is building, it’s all about controlling the geopolitics in the region (US is using VN as its mouthpiece to screw Cambodia). Well, I totally reject this effort. Cambodia has been very cleared and transparent along the way, why don’t you listen to Cambodia’s reason, VN!!!
Cambodia has all the right to build this canal.
Thailand, Laos, Myanmar also have the RIGHT to build a canal!

Who cares what Vietnam thinks. They had issues when China was building the high speed (HSR) rail for Laos. Vietnam was sucking up import and export fees for anything coming in and out of Laos through Vietnam since Laos is a land locked country with no ports and limited airfields. Now with the HSR Laos is able to cut out the middle man aka Vietnam and goods and ppl can flow directly between Laos and China. Vietnam could care less about environmental issues associated with the Cambodia canal. Their real concern is Cambodia not being dependent on Vietnam politically and economically. Build the canal Cambodia, it’s your country and land.
Who care wtf you think, stupid sh*t
Who care what you think, China can build whatever they want in Laos, it’s their businesses, don’t blame Vietnam for Laos land locked country with no ports and limited airfields, as for Cambodians, they couldn’t accepted Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge killing Cambodians their own people, they felt ashamed, they blamed the Vietnamese killing them
veitnam wants to invade cambodia as one of the province but china drive veitnam out .
Vietnam invaded Cambodia when Pol Pot and the Khmers Rouge attacked Vietnam borders killing civilians
@@wongyoonchark5050 Viet-Nam had the same thinking as Indians, they thought they're entitled to what the French left behind, French Indo China. they were about to annex Laos and Cambodia. that's when China stepped in.
The host made it sounds like Vietnam can dictate what China can do with Cambodia just because US wants to use it against China. It's crazy to side with US in SEA, nothing is going to change that.
Everyone is a China expert. 😅
Vietnam build tons of dams near Cambodia and close them brainlessly during rainy season causing severe floods in Cambodia. Cambodia never complains. Why VN is worried about environment?
totally agreed.
Vietnam been dredging the Mekong Delta for a very long time and has been altered since then. Stop blaming Cambodia project for this Canal when it is the Vietnamese own greed and selfishness who done it to themselves!
It was the Khmer Rouge killing the Cambodians
Many Khmers couldn’t accept that Pol Pot Kmer Rouge killing their own people, they blamed the Vietnamese killing them
@@tlsvd5842 This has nothing to do with talking about the history of the Cambodian people past. This is about rebuilding the future of Cambodia which Vietnamese do not like. I could say it in many ways as a Laotian we also have a say too about certain aspect and view on our neighbors as well who we share with among people to people.
@samsyvoravong off course it has to do with history, many Cambodians couldn’t get over the fact they lost the war to Vietnam because of National pride even though Pol Pot and Khmers Rouge Killing the Cambodians.
As for Cambodia future they can do what they want, and you don’t know anythings spreading hatred and fault rumors
@@tlsvd5842 Well that is your opinion and there is no rumors here beside you're taking it personal. Please reframe yourself before taking in the wrong way in this conversation. We all can have a conversations. But if your not a Vietnamese, Laotian or Cambodian then you know nothing period.
@@tlsvd5842 Why the Kinh Annamese commie reject to return Khmer Krom (the south Vietnam)to Cambodia as committed?
Vietnam has not care about the environmental issues but pushing pure greeds… Cambodia is building its economy and infrastructure to … Vietnam needs to fix its delta issue in its own country.
The Funan Techo Canal makes Cambodia more economic benefits but Vietnam worry??? It's not because of evironment issues, Vietnam itself build Canals bigger and too many as much as they want. Who's care about the eviroments? They never look at their own house, What has they done in the past till now? This is why Cambodian peoples fully support the Funan Techo Canal project, No one can stop us.
But no one is affected
Vietnam is at the end of the Mekong River, so digging a canal at the end of the source does not affect anyone. Vietnam still owns about 15% of the upstream of the Mekong River. If Cambodia digs the Funan Canal and limit water source for downstream, Vietnam will be forced to change the direction of the upstream flow in the country and protect its economy, which will be disadvantageous for both Vietnam and Cambodia.
@@vinhlong7347 This is a threat that China well knows this game. When a man-made canal with 100mwidex 5mDeepx 1xxkong is used for domestic transport once they will see a dying TonleSap.

Vietnam has no right to interfere Cambodia regarding new Canal Project . This canal is truly for the best interest of Cambodian people.
It’s rumors and speculations by the guy made this video, you don’t hear anythings from Vietnam government
It’s just that this canal will extract water from the Mekong, causing droughts in the farm land areas in Vietnam already even more droughts with more saltwater invasions. I think Cambodia has the right to carry out the project in a sense that it does not affect others.

Vietnam needs to stop trying to control Cambodia. This funan project is being done in Cambodian Land, and it's doing good for Cambodian Citizens!
Cambodia is a free country.🇰🇭
Can do what they like,is there Land.
Just like the Melaka Gateway (Huangjing Port) in Malaysia, China's involvements in building infrastructure around the world are simply a strategy to make friends and, more importantly, to break the U.S. attempt to contain its rise on the world's stage. Likewise, the China-Cambodia Funan Techno Canal is to facilitate the export potentials of Cambodia's products and is not a threat to Vietnam which in itself benefits immensely with investments from China as well as the unlimited supply of electricity from across the Chinese border to keep its factories humming, not to mention the building of the North-South railway connnecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city. Learn the Chinese chess of "Go" and you'll understand the logic behind it.
This canal is improve Cambodia’s economic. It doesn’t sound good as you said Chinese create problem to both countries. This is totally Cambodia’s project. China has ability to complete this project.
NOT yet, all the man-made canals has proved some more and more costs of PM that China will face the same problem in his land and CAMBODIA will face a TERRIBLE ECO.

Why not think of it as a win win situation for Vietnam and Cambodia? The canal will increase traffic at the shared Mekong mouth. There will be spill over businesses for both sides.
A bunch of idiots with only their brains on the trigger don't think about more labor and population when they simply charge and receive only a few coins at a time.
No it's Vietnam lost because they will lose control over Cambodian
@@caesarzaro9815 No control. Just about 10-20 milion pepole's life in Mekong deltal will be effect. If just about tranportation, there are many way we can do for that purpose ? right?
It's all within Cambodia's rights and doesn't break any rules to build this canal. It will be a huge benefits for Cambodia from reducing shipping cost to faster shipping and more investment opportunities.
Since the Funan Techo Canal was utilized 2,000 years ago and Cambodia only wants to widen it to facilitate transit to the sea, this project is crucial to the country's economic development. Vietnam is expressing dissatisfaction over the loss of income from Cambodia.
Cambodia has its full right to boost the country's economy thru this canal that are located in Cambodia's territory.
This is a Khmer’s project that will hopefully benefit Cambodia and its people. Vietnam can raise objections, but ultimately it is up to Khmers and Cambodia.
The BOT model is a great model for developing countries to use with Chinese companies.
It would be ideal if China or Vietnam does not use the canal as a political pawn in order to benefit their own interests. Good neighbors work together and grow together.
There are always concerned Americans when a rival gains influence even in a remote part of the world, and then tell the rest of the world that the neighbour has concern, thus preparing for a future opportunity to meddle in the situation.
I am a Cambodia. I prefer democratic and I love the Funan project. The Vietnamese has no rights to stop the Cambodian people to be prosper !
Cambodians have no right to do whatever they want for this International river. It will largely affect Vietnam's Mekong Delta with 10-20million people. Therefore it must have monitor and approval from Vietnamese.

Good project for Cambodia… Vietnam has bees stealing from Cambodia waterways for a long time.

Good luck with China
This is not China’s canal!!! This is an existing canal known as Funan Canal which was dredged a long time ago in the 5th century, however it was neglected. It’s a game changer for Cambodia, by passing and saving millions of profits going to Vietnam. I’m aware of the project since the beginning of the discussions.
The existing canal in Cambodia has been in existence for over 2,000 years, where was Vietnam back then? The fact is Vietnam the regional gangster needs to stop talking smack about Cambodia's internal business.
I think the canal is good for Cambodia 。Vietnam is just like Philippine always opposes whatever the China build.
Most of our people shipping theirs products through Vietnam in the river ,we spent a lot of money 500 million to 1000 million to Vietnam per year for shipping export to the world.
Is it better for Cambodia to cut middlemen? It is important to be trade independence for Cambodia.
It is not a controversy it is call business. Vietnamese don’t want to see Cambodia grow.
this canal is totally build on Cambodia soil, what can the Vietnamese govt. do or interfere
Cambodia Canal causes controversies? But rather VN wants to choke hold Cambodia's economy! VN is crying wolf!
Combodia can make own Land anything Good Things why viatnam worried?
The issue concerning the Mekong river went back when the Mekong Sub-Region Commission was formed when China was deliberately excluded from it. In fact Japan through ADB was rather deliberate in trying to influence the development of the region which supposedly covers Myanmar -Thailand-Cambodia-Vietnam. With this in mind, the Thais in fact invested heavily in Da Wei Port in the southern region of Myanmar and Japan-India thought they would jointly with Vietnam build a rail-road highway across the region from Da Wei to Danang. In the meantime with Laos somehow also not invited to the Mekong Commission, She decided to build dams across the upper reach of the Mekong River where she shares with China to generate electricity for export. Basically, they thought they could outflank China but ...
Anyway, Cambodia's annual floods are partly caused by the shallow link to the Tonle Sap Lake , hence, she is desperate to find a solution towards this end to improve part of her logistics problems. One could hardly complain against the Cambodians for their decision.
Vietnam must hand off Cambodia
stupid, you should say that to China, not to Vietnam
From Cambodia people southeast Asia 🇰🇭 This canal I have already for thousand years ago our government only dig 8km reach out the sea, it can help my people import and export theirs products all locations for reduce theirs ,price costs and also help Laos 🇱🇦people and🇰🇭 shipping theirs products faster to the Sea ,it not demage the road and and highway
If its good for your country economy then we support, but make sure it wont affect the flow of river, because it will affect 20millions of southern vietnamese. Thats all, our concern is legit.

It's kind of funny, when you hear Vietnam bitching and complaining about environment while the Vietnamese themselves destroying their environment daily, since when Vietnam give a damn about environment, plus it is Cambodian sovereign land they can do whatever they wanted too. An old American terminology saying "clean your house first before you want to clean mine"
Vietnam should deport 1 millions Khmer Krom from south Vietnam back to Cambodia

I think Vietnams concern is legitimate because this canal will extract water from the Mekong river, causing more droughts and seawater invasions for their farmlands which have been caused by hydroelectric dams upstream. What do you think about the farmlands in Cambodia dried up if Vietnam is building a canal from the Mekong in Laos to Vietnam?
It's supposed vn also dig canal if Cambodia belong to VN. Like china dig 平陆canal in Guangxi now.
@@stoneju1392 0) VN has maintained all Khmer dumastiesv to barriering against Siam since 12CE and so on until @mid18CE and one of causes that a KhmerEmpire was fallen is a water supply blockage. 1) DaiViet wanted to inhabit over Mekong delta since it was just some fishermen villages by ancirnt Khmer. 2) u alreafy know that all along upstream of Mekong river in Laos, Thailand or Burmar are facing terrible environmentsl problems from controlling, draining water by all DAMs in China. It is killing Mekong river and too many biodiversities. 3) Not only Mekong river but China made same thing with some rovers in Tibet borders next to India resulting in many problems along their flows. 4) Lets see what will happen to ur tonleSap every half year when a canal opens.
Perhaps the US is hoping to split Vietnam away from China at least a little, with this issue. But China has helped Vietnam's economy immensly by pushing investment into vietnam. So if it was so important to Vietnam they would have made their opinions known to China.
Cambodian government has decided construction of the Phu Nan cannal is a good thing for the people of Cambodia and benefits a lot for the people of the region in economic, water transformation and ect in a long term. And the impacts of environment is very limited in aspects.
Every Cannal in All Over the World is benefits a lot for the people of the region and for All Over the World. That's simple.
Must emphasize that this an existing 1000 year old canal that just needed expansion. Have they successfully stopped or expressed concerns of the dams built up streams in the rivers connected to their country? Seems like a concern of loosing Cambodian dependence on them than an environmental concern.
Vietnam doesn't talk to China after the last war in 1979. Vietnam is still feeling ashamed that it lost the war. As today, Vietnamese are still feeling bitter towards the Chinese.
Any cooperation with the Chinese is considered a taboo.
It will be their lost. They see it but they are just too full of ego. Never mind about them. Cambodia has the rights to do whatever projects that as long as within their territory.
Đồ ngu ngốc China mới là kẻ bại trận.Hãy sang China và xem những nghĩa trang cạnh biên giới của họ.
Funan because it is an ancient canal route during the Funan era. Vietnam also wants to be a big brother for Cambodia to get their approval before this can can be done.
We want to lower shipping cost for the goods. Water diversion is no issue because the canal is developed using State of the Art to control water flow to the sea. Right now the Mekong discharges 8,000 cubic meters per second everyday. The canal will discharge 3.6 cubic meters per second according expert analysis from the world study. So as you can see, the flow is negligible. It is so small at 0.045%.
Don't worry, China has the tech to grow rice in salty water and the best policy is to be friendly to China to reap all the benefits that China can provide...
Common prosperity is the best way to go... 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

Great for Cambodia...
Cambodia is also allowing China to develop its port in the Gulf of Thailand. So along with the canal, it opens up Cambodia to more commerce with the rest of the world without being coerced by Vietnam.

Every countries have it own right to find it own direction in particularly it economy. Beside Cambodia doesn’t infringe into it neighbour. Cambodia leader is answerable to it citizen not anybody else. Cambodia must capitalise on it advantages they had.
Don’t ever under estimate VN Mekong environment it is only excuse.
Actually, they don’t want Cambodia have independent Funan carnal they so smart they know as long Cambodia own Funan they can’t control Cambodia anymore

In a short while, the Lao-China railway line, the 2nd phase, Vientiane-Pakse, will be connected to the Funan Teso Canal in the capital of Phnom Penh - to transport goods to China without going through Thailand.
Any environmental concerns showing after the assessment is a reason to find a resolution NOT a reason to stop the project.
We need American support to help Cambodians to be self sufficient. There are a lot of Cambodian people still living under poverty. The canal will change Cambodian way of life.

Interesting discussion
Vietnam had allowed the US armed military naval ships docked at Vietnamese ports against China's protest. Cambodia is not close to Vietnam because after the Vietnam-US war, Vietnam invaded Cambodia. It is the Chinese that helped to beat back the Vietnamese.
Người Trung Quốc rất xấu bụng. Đổi trắng thay đen bị cả thế giới ghét bỏ mà không biết, thật tội nghiệp.Hãy ra khỏi giếng và tìm hiểu thêm kiến thức
you guy must the stupid. Khmer Rouge gov backed by Chinese killed 25% of Cambodian, and intended to invade Vietnam at the time. Then the Vietnamese gov fought back, and destroyed the Khmer Rouge gov, effectively saving the country. But what does a bot account such as yourself know? Why the fuck am I responding to a bot account?
The water of Mekong River flows from upland to lowland and to the sea, but why VN is concerned that salt water will bring into the Mekong River? why is there no salt water in the Mekong River today? Similarly, this canal flows from a height into the sea, just like the Mekong River. Is there any reason for salt water to enter through this canal? Clearly can not happen. Morever, this canal project will just dig from Basak River is the small part of Mekong river. Anyway, if VN hate China, you can go to discuss with China or you don't courage to do that because China is powerful country? Don't take this platform to threat Cambodia. Good neighbors work together and grow together.
China has money and Cambodia love it , that's why Cambodian invited them 👌🙋🇨🇳

What’s the environmental concern, the Vietnamese already destroyed the Cambodia forestry and the water structures effective the fisheries revenues.
VN has always been scared that CN may help Cambodia to take over the south back to Cambodia, especially because they worry about Phoquc island's original name (KOH TRAL) which the French colonial illegally gave to VN after WWII. China and Cambodia have a very strong tie as the Cambodians called the Tank metal sheet friendship. in 1978 China attacked Hanoi, and Khmer Rough attacked the south and tried to take back the lower Cambodia former Territory. Hanoi always does its best to keep its Economy and political influence over Cambodia. Previous Priminister Hun Sen was appointed by Hanoi. so they successfully colonized Cambodia since 82 so the Pupet Cambodian government had to agree to sign on the sea and land border drawn by Hanoi. VN doesn't care a F about environmental impact, They destroyed Cambodia's forest and now Loas's forest has disappeared fast AF by VN Tycoon and government. They destroy Cambodia's water and fish by their illegal immigration and lots of VN fishermen invade Cambodia's sea border every day.
NO...It is not TECKO. It pronounces as DECJO
They do whatever they want. Vietnamese is irritated. They also want to exert control over Cambodia. They dislike Chinese because the Chinese have helped Cambodia develop. Fortunately, Cambodians have chosen to allow the Chinese rather than the Vietnamese.
The last time the Chinese "help" Cambodia develop, almost twenty-five percent of the population got eradicated by Pol Pot, a close ally of China, and it was Vietnam that came in to save them. Cambodia will never learn when you get cozy with the Chinese.
still don't know that Pol Pot was setup by China?
@klom15thailand Why don't you ask your Thailand Government to destroy those 26 hydroelectric dams, some projects in the lower Mekong River basin and thousand of dams in your country?

The canal could be gated so there would not be free flow of river water into the gulf. Water flow rates would remain unchanged through Vietnam except when filling the canal.
I am still not convinced. Droughts and seawater invasions have already happened in the farm land areas in Vietnam.
The OC-EO Canal means the Glasses Canal because in ancient time, there were many beautiful glasses were founded along the Canal. The Khmer took those beautiful glasses and made jewelry from those beautiful glasses that people can buy them online at Etsy today (Funan Glass Necklace). The OC-EO Canal has been existing in Cambodia over 2000 years ago during Phnom Kingdom (Funan) of Cambodia. The Canal was linked from Angkor Borei, the ancient capital of Phnom (Funan) to the OC-EO Port in Southern Vietnam (Kampuchea Krom) which it was the territory of Cambodia from the 1st century to 1945 The French built the Palace and the front street in Prey Nokor City (Saigon now Ho Chi Minh) in 1866 and named Norodom after the King of Cambodia. When the French left, they transferred Southern Vietnam (Kampuchea Krom) to Vietnam illegally. The Khmer people living in South Vietnam today still fight for their land and their freedom from Vietnam. Since the OC-EO Canal from Cambodia can’t have its access to Southern Vietnam anymore, Cambodia just changed its direction to the Kompong Som Bay in Cambodia. The OE-EO Canal changed its name to the Funan Techo Canal and its project is not affected to other countries since Cambodia has submitted its Canal Project to the MRC 3 years ago.
Not much Vietnam can do ,except be prepared. The Hậu river will be dried. Dredge it and use it to store fresh water for the dry season.

sure, independent of foreigners. Then do that, and don't depend on China. Walk the walk. Don't just talk the talk.
if affected. Vietnam - Laos will build a canal to transfer the Mekong water flow to Vietnam. At that time, Cambodia will not have water to grow rice. Don't be too happy and ignore Vietnam's warnings. Never pretend to forget that Vietnam and Laos are very close.
if Vietnam did that, Vietnam is so stupid 😆They would shoot their own foot by destroying 50% of their rice production capability.
You think North Vietnam has big enough fertile land to grow rice like Mekong Delta which they stole from Cambodia around 1800s. They needed it so much, that's why they stole it from Cambodia. Why diverting the water away and destroy their rice production capability.
Also don't forget that Loas is very close to Cambodia and China. In case you don't know. Vietnam is not Laos only friend.
@@angkear6267 Cambodia is proving to be very strong, often causing trouble with Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. They own a lot of Chinese weapons, aiming to show their power to the whole of Asean. But I'm skeptical about the Cambodian soldiers' ability to use it. they really aren't smart enough to use them. Their potential is too small, Cambodia is not worth discussing, don't try to be the focus of the region. Helping China destabilize the whole of Asean
@@butachan4879camphuchia chỉ là con cờ trong tay Trung Quốc
then lets see what Laos will decide. China Cambodia vs Vietnam.
Because Vietnam is guilty due to the illegally took our Khos Tral island which vietname government changed to Phu Quoc and if Cambodia can stable their economic...sure Cambodia will bring this to the international courts thats the real reason that Vietnam is so nerves
Cambodia weren't even an independent country after the French got kicked out of Southeast Asia.

To solve this problem is to give out free land to all Cambodian citizens on both side of the canal from where it starts to finish.
When has any ever given out large quantities of free land? Do you think that’s really feasible?
It’s dug on existing canal. There’s eminent domain law in place. But some people are just greedy and make the project become more expensive than expected.
🤡
Me Kong delta will become salty, affect rice and fish
Not if there is a gate system to control the flow. In that case the canal would become a lake and water would not free flow into the gulf. The water flow through Vietnam would be maintained.
@@bobsmith3983 in every project,in everything that we do theres mishaps,and sippage underground,its not natural
U need to go and see how many canal in Viet yourself.
@@sambathmean thats true but no other country is affected by those viet canal,mekong vietnam directly flows into the sea
With this canal, VN will have no rice to export to your countries , please prepare for the food shortage
Benefits all who use Mekong
Cambodia have options to lease their islands to China just like the Philippines did to United States.

Ah, Consultants generating fear so they can elbow their way into the project.
Flawed cold-war lazy thinking.
Naw, Vietnam is like Thailand. They're jealous. They don't want Khmer people to upgrade. Learn the history.
On top of that, South Vietnam was illegally given to Vietnam by the French. So why they mad? Go back to the T'ang Dynesty.
The project isn't even on their land.
jealous? that Cambodia is being used by China? Vietnam was the only country rescuing Cambodians from the Khmer Rouge, you
Ingrates!
Hydroelectric dams and dudes at upstream, the funan national project canal, and others in: China, Laos, Cambodia... suck water from the Mekong, filter out alluvium, and are gradually suffocating the Mekong Delta. Vietnam and Cambodia should think of its friendship. If Laos digs a canal to bring Mekong water to central Vietnam and no more water passes through Cambodia, what would Cambodia think? Lack of fresh water, saltwater intrusion, lack of sand, running out of nutritious silt, subsidence, landslides, rising sea levels, drought, crop failure, migration... Vietnam is being slowly strangled. Using 1.7 billion USD for the project to create a cause for Vietnam and Cambodia to argue has been a great success of China, increase corruption in Cambodia. Therefore, Vietnam needs to negotiate with China, not just Cambodia. Cambodia, don't forget, listening to the advice of someone who caused genocide to your people, don't forget if others stuff guns or money into your hands, you think they are helping you? not harming you? Don't forget that without Vietnam's help, your people would have been extinct no parent, no you. Don't forget that peace and stability benefit your people and country. The two countries are friendly and there is no risk of war and hatred between our two. Do not be victim as the other third party provoked. The lessons of Ukraine are still there. China should not forget that only way of become King is the good morals policy. Being friends with Vietnam will benefit China. If you force Vietnam too much, Vietnam will have to cooperate with other countries and become pro-American. If you lose Vietnam's friendship, your 'great chinese dream' and important China's political plan will not come true. Stop it bad
上游的水力發電大壩、中國、寮國、柬埔寨的扶南國家工程運河…從湄公河吸水，過濾沖積物，正逐漸窒息湄公河三角洲。 越南和柬埔寨應該珍惜友誼。 如果寮國挖一條運河將湄公河水引入越南中部，且不再有水經過柬埔寨，柬埔寨會怎麼想？ 缺乏淡水、鹹水入侵、缺乏沙子、營養淤泥耗盡、地面沉降、山崩、海平面上升、乾旱、農作物歉收、移民……越南正被慢慢扼殺。 用17億美元為越南和柬埔寨製造爭端的項目是中國的巨大成功，加劇了柬埔寨的腐敗。 因此，越南需要與中國談判，而不僅僅是柬埔寨。 柬埔寨，不要忘記，聽聽對你們人民造成種族滅絕的人的建議，不要忘記，如果別人把槍或錢塞到你手裡，你認為他們是在幫助你嗎？ 沒有傷害你嗎？ 不要忘記，如果沒有越南的幫助，你們的人民就會滅絕，沒有父母，沒有你們。 不要忘記，和平與穩定有利於你們的人民與國家。 兩國友好，兩國之間不存在戰爭和仇恨的風險。 不要成為其他第三方挑釁的受害者。 烏克蘭的教訓仍然存在。 中國不應該忘記，成為國王的唯一途徑是良好的道德政策。 與越南交朋友對中國有利。 如果你對越南施加太多壓力，越南將不得不與其他國家合作，變得親美。 如果失去了越南的友誼，你的「偉大的中國夢」和重要的中國政治計畫就不會實現。 別再壞了

Khmer listened to China's father and built the Funan Canal. This is China's sinister intention. Of course, Vietnam should have measures and policies to deal with this in the future.
Vietnam can build a canal from Lao to Vietnam.
@@ben_castlethat benefits to VN, however Funan canal doese not😂
Viet knows exactly what game its playing and the result too. Viet's concerns has nothing to do with this project.
I think that the Vietnamese have a trick up their sleeve. They could compete by lowering their transit fees. And if they lower the fees far enough, they could potentially turn the canal into a white elephant. But nationalism on the part of the Cambodians should cushion the blow by diverting Cambodian cargo through the canal nevertheless. Both ways, the Cambodians should win, at least a little and the Viets would not lose too much.
First of all,it’s neither China nor Vietnam has any good intention for Cambodia or it’s people. This project is both political and economic for China. It’s China’s geopolitical purposes. Vietnam,on the other hand,opposing this plan, is because, they don’t want to lose their influence and controls over Cambodia. More over,Vietnam has been stealing and encroaching Cambodia’s lands for centuries. Vietnam has been the main player and calling all the shots for Cambodia. The so-called current“governments”of Cambodia,was installed by Vietnam after the 1979 invasion. They installed their own governmental officials to be vigilant on Cambodia. There are many reasons why,Vietnam afraid of losing Cambodia to China. I am hoping Cambodia freed themselves from all of these evil invaders
Droughts and seawater invasions have already seen in the farmland areas in Vietnam. This canal will add more droughts and seawater invasions to these areas. Don’t be so proud if Vietnam once day decides to assist Lao to build a canal from the Mekong in Lao cross Vietnam to South China Sea.
@@ben_castle I like your example but it is wild. Vietnam won't do that.
The Mekong River is an international river, Cambodian can't do whatever they want. Funan Techo is only a first step, Cambodian will expand it and shape the Mekong River to not let it flow through Vietnam. Mekong Delta will become a dead land, 10-20 million people will be loset their land. Vietnamese will not let Cambodians do whatever they want.
