Cambodia Backs China on Hong Kong Protests Sok Khemara PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - Cambodia this week reiterated its support for China's attempts to quell violent protests in Hong Kong, citing its adherence to the "One China" policy. Protesters and police have clashed for months in the semi-autonomous region, initially sparked by opposition to legislation that would have allowed the extradition of Hong Kong residents to mainland China. More recently, protests have adopted a more strident pro-democracy tone, rejecting communist China's influence over the economic hub. .
