The Chinese government love to deny things when they know they are
wrong. Puleeeze. They love to show off to the world when millions of
their people are dirt poor while their government is so rich. That is
why their country is still communist.
The chinese government is full of crap.

China Played No Role in Khmer Rouge Politics: Ambassador
By Kong Sothanarith, VOA Khmer
Original report from Phnom Penh
22 January 2010
China’s ambassador to Cambodia told a group Friday that the Chinese
had not aided the Khmer Rouge but had sought to keep Cambodians from
suffering under the regime.
“The Chinese government never took part in or intervened into the po
litics of Democratic Kampuchea,” the ambassador, Zhang Jin Feng, tol
d the opening class at Khong Cheu Institute.
The Chinese did not support the wrongful policies of the regime, but
instead tried to provide assistance through food, hoes and scythes,
Zhang said.
“If there were no food [assistance], the Cambodian people would have
suffered more famine,” she said.
The comments come as the Khmer Rouge tribunal prepares for its
second trial, of five high-ranking members of the regime.
However, a leading documentarian of the regime said the Chinese may
want to revise that statement, given all the evidence that points to
their involvement with the Khmer Rouge.
“According to documents, China intervened in all domains from the to
p to lower level: security, including the export of natural resource
s from Cambodia, like rice, bile of tigers, bears and animal skins t
o exchange for agriculture instruments,” said Youk Chhang, director
of the Documentation Center of Cambodia.
“In the domain of security, Chinese advisers trained units to catch
the enemy, and some of the trainers went to inspect the outcome of t
he training at the local level,” he said.
China maintained close diplomatic ties with the Khmer Rouge after
they came to power. It was one of only nine communist countries to
keep an embassy in the country after April 1975.
