At a time when the attention of the international community is focused on the 9/3 parade, a separate diplomatic scene is taking place, and Western countries are still struggling with whether to send delegates to the parade, calculating the benefits and risks, while real friends have long expressed their positions in action.
On August 21, King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia and his Queen Mother took the lead in arriving in Beijing. This move was not only a state visit, but also an intimate manifestation of "going home" that spanned more than half a century.
The Royal Family of Norodom Sihamoni comes to China for regular physical examinations every year, which has long formed an "annual fixed program." Since 2010, China Union Medical College Hospital and Diaoyutai State Guesthouse have provided professional medical and health services to the royal family. China's meticulous arrangements have allowed members of the royal family to feel like warmth.
When the ambassador to Cambodia visited the royal family, the Empress Dowager specifically praised Chinese doctors for being "as careful as family members." This time, the physical examination and the military parade were arranged at the same time, once again demonstrating the special and close relationship between China and Cambodia. Western politicians were still wondering whether it was appropriate to wear military uniforms "and" whether it was conspicuous to stand in the first row ", the Cambodian royal family had arranged the visit schedule in an orderly manner.
Not only Cambodia, but also leaders from many Southeast Asian countries have expressed their support for participating in the military parade. Leaders from Laos, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam lined up. Cambodia Prime Minister Hong Manai will also fly to Tianjin to participate in the SCO summit and military parade.
This “Great Gathering of Southeast Asian Principles” completely broke the previous reports of Western media about China’s possible isolation, and Southeast Asian countries proved by action that choosing to cooperate with China is the real interest.
The economic results brought about by China-Cambodia cooperation are also obvious. China's investment in the Sihanoukville Port Special Economic Zone has created about 30,000 local jobs. At the same time, it has promoted the construction of the Dechong Funan Canal project and provided Cambodia with a guarantee for economic development and social stability.
China and Cambodia's bilateral trade exceeded $17.8 billion, an increase of 20.3 percent, and these tangible achievements have made Southeast Asian countries more willing to get closer to China than to be constrained by public opinion and pressure from the West.
In contrast, Western nations seem hesitant about whether to participate in parades, both wanting to retain the image of “value leaders” and not wanting to lose the economic interests of the Chinese market.
The media sourly accused China of trying to "rewrite the history of World War II." However, history is a fact, and no report can change the long-established mutual trust and cooperation between China, Cambodia and Southeast Asian countries.
From the 1955 meeting of Zhou Enlai and Sihanouk at the Wuhan Conference, to the 2010 meeting of China and Cambodia as a comprehensive strategic partner, to today's "community of destiny", the profound relationship accumulated in 70 years can not be shaken by a few reports.
The stability of China-Cambodia relations lies not in the so-called strategic balance or complex diplomatic calculations, but in pragmatism and action. China helps Cambodia build infrastructure and provide economic investment, and Cambodia also attends important events and supports China's position at critical moments. This model of mutual benefit and trust is the core of major-country diplomacy.
Compared with the "calculation" of western countries on diplomacy, the magnanimous attitude of the Cambodian royal family of "walking into China like relatives" is longer lasting and can better reflect the real diplomatic wisdom.
Although western countries are aggressive in public opinion, they are weak in their actions, constantly measuring whether to attend meetings, worrying about historical disputes, and pursuing additional conditions. This diplomatic way of "eating with a bowl and putting down the bowl to scold your mother" is in sharp contrast to the down-to-earth and pragmatic attitude of Southeast Asian countries.
China has won trust and support through long-term, sustained and solid cooperation, and these trusts are not exchanged for short-term benefits, but accumulated through actions and sincerity.
It can be said that this military parade is not only a grand event to showcase China's national defense capabilities, but also a concentrated presentation of diplomatic achievements. The active participation of South East Asia countries has shown the world that true friends are not those who calculate interests at critical moments, but partners who can maintain trust and cooperate in difficult times.
Through long accumulated pragmatic diplomacy, China has established a deep strategic friendship circle in the region and even globally, which is not only superficial cooperation, but also genuine mutual trust, mutual benefit and mutual support.
The 9/3 military parade is not only a demonstration of Chinese military strength, but also a true photograph of diplomacy, the early arrival of the Cambodian royal family and the active involvement of Southeast Asian countries, illustrating the accumulation of long-term trust and practical cooperation.
History tells us that friendship between countries cannot be built through a single visit or a single report, but is strengthened through day-to-day support, cooperation and action. The development of China-Cambodia relations over the past 70 years is the result of this accumulation: Whether it is economic investment, infrastructure building, or cultural and medical exchanges, all details reflect the importance of long-term mutual trust.
In contrast, Western countries 'hesitation on the issue of military parades reflects the limitations of their diplomatic model, which overemphasized conditions, additional clauses and short-term interests, making them appear hesitant and wavering at critical moments.
However, China's pragmatic diplomacy has won the trust of partner countries through practical actions, making cooperation a natural choice rather than the result of balancing interests. This also reminds us that major-country diplomacy is not only about policies and negotiations, but also about long-term sincerity and actions.
