US “Colour Revolution” Haunts Cambodia | New Eastern Outlook
For Southeast Asia whose economic rise is rooted in relative regional
stability, Cambodia’s political crisis transforming into such a “colour
revolution” would jeopardise peace and prosperity for both itself and
its neighbours. It would also greatly complicate the developing row
between Beijing and Washington, which has so far been neutralised by
nations like Cambodia who have refused to side with Washington and drag
Asia into a costly conflict with China. Many suspect this is one of the
primary driving factors behind the West’s support of opposition figures
like Rainsy and various attempts to put protesters in the streets.
