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

Nikkei Asia: Cambodia to divert Mekong trade via China-built canal, vexing Vietnam by Jack Brook: tinyurl.com/25j2fv3t

[@JOJO2023s]

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!!!

@chinaglobalsouth. Nikkei Asia, an entity media dissemination of content that incites hatred, terrorism and the spread of false information, as well as the perpetuation of cyberbullying and harassment, poses a significant threat to the stability and progress of China. These actions are aimed at undermining the nation, impeding its technological advancements, and perpetuating a subservient relationship with Western and European entities. It is imperative to address these issues to uphold the integrity and cohesion of China.

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.

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.

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.

Having lived for some years in Vietnam and Cambodia, and as a consultant to the Mekong River Development Commission, it is very evident that Vietnam exerts massive control over economic matters between the two countries due to their control of Mekong River access. This can become politically sensitive very quickly at times but don't forget the many millions of dollar's worth of "transit" fees Vietnam gathers every year for trans-shipping freight into and out of Cambodia.

[@bokatorus771]

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%.

This is the opportunity for the U.S. to blow up this case in order to drive a wedge between Vietnam & China economic cooperation. The U.S. had always wanted to get Vietnam on its side for economic , military and other strategic reasons in order to strengthen their containment policy towards China. This proposed canal project in Cambodia allows the country to have an independent & direct access to the SCS. As previously, most of Cambodia’s foreign exports have to go through the Mekong delta systems , controlled by Vietnam as the larger part of those delta systems are in Vietnamese territory. In all those years of Vietnamese controlling the economics of the Mekong delta system, Cambodia is dependent on Vietnam’s policy on the Mekong delta systems on shipping, fishing etc , which has been problematic from time to time on the economics of such vital link , transportation.! China’s role for Cambodia’s canal project , is to help the country with technical skills , finance & management of this important project for Cambodia’s future, without disrupting the economic life of the Mekong delta for Vietnam.! The U.S. is trying to exploit this situation out of proportion in order to heighten Vietnam’s anxiety over this Cambodian project , which instead , could enhance the economic development of both countries.!

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.

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.
