Isn't Cambodia's constitution whatever Hun Sen says it is? (half-kidding)
Chinese oversea bases
- Thread starter tphuang
- Start date
Yes, constitution can always be changed by the leader when the time is right. Cambodia will do what is best in Cambodian interest. With enough Chinese investment, this could be a boon for Cambodian economy. On top of that, they will keep supplying military equipment to Cambodia.

Forget about Indonesia they are not going to allow any foreign military bases! They are very nationalist. Plus large segment of radical muslim are anti China, anti chinese coupled with willy politician that try to curry favor with radical muslim is just not going to happen. Right now they are chaffing too much foreign worker read Chinese and they said the country will soon be swamped by Chinese . Of course this is nonsense but for the politician it is talking point to get elected! There are more Indo maid in China 3X as much than Chinese worker in Indo but it does not register with radical muslim They believe whatever they want to believe!
And America is disliked by your ordinary Arabs but they have a bunch of bases there. Wait 10 years and let's see what happens when Indonesia is using Chinese weapons and staring at 3 or 4 plan carriers in scs.

Actually ream naval base is an ideal spot that will cover Andaman sea, Melacca strait, South china sea distance between it and Spore is only 1000km easy flight distance for long Range J16, J11, J20. You can also patrol west Philippine sea with no problem

There is nothing to suggest aircraft are involved. China can get to the Gulf of Thailand easily, it doesn’t need a base there.

Eventually they will built airfield having a base close by facilitate high tempo operation, increase loiter time too
Draw a circumference of 1000km and that's how far heavy fighter jets can reasonably operate from there. Draw a circumference from there of 3000 km and you will see how far Chinese hypersonic missiles will be able to hit from there. Draw another circumference of 5000km and that will be targets h20 can hit with gliding pgms. Draw another circle of 7000 and that's how far h20 will be able to strike with hypersonic missiles from there. Some of this is hyperbole but it should be clear that ream is very well located. Better located than a Myanmar base.
It will also allow them to saturate nearby water with diesel subs and gliders to detect quiet submarines operated by usn and Australians.
This is just unrealistic, there is no way the PLAAF is deploying to Cambodia. It’s a naval base, and China is saying there is no base going there, Naval or otherwise.
How can your heavy fighter jets even get to the Andaman sea or India ocean without flying over Thailand and/or Malaysia.
