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.
