On October 1, the American media "New York Times" released a message saying that before the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand in July, China had sent 20 people to transport a large amount of ammunition to Cambodia to help it fight Thailand. When the news came out, it attracted great attention from the outside world.

According to the report, citing Thai military intelligence, on June 21-23, before the conflict, the Chinese Air Force carried several ships of 20 carrying large ammunition, rockets, shelling guns and other ammunition, six times shipped to the western port of Cambodia, first temporarily stored to the Yunnan naval base, and then shipped to the Taichung conflict front.

To verify the report, the new york Times also quoted Buckelt, an expert on "consolidating human rights" of the NGO, as saying that the ammunition debris found on the front line of the Thai-Cambodian border were all made in China. In addition, the intelligence was confirmed by internal intelligence officials of the Thai army.

However, although the United States pretended to be serious and claimed that China was potentially involved in the Cambodia-Thailand conflict by assisting Cambodia, the United States was quickly slapped in the face by both Cambodia and Thailand, and both sides denied it.

Dalaro, a senior Cambodian defense official, said the U.S. report was misleading because the shipping of these Chinese goods, just coincided with the time of the May Chinese-Cambodian joint military exercises, was actually a normal transportation and transfer of military equipment and was not used for border conflict.

Subsequently, Thai Defense Minister Nabani said at a press conference on October 2nd that China did provide weapons and equipment to Cambodia, but this was the normal bilateral cooperation and internal affairs between China and Cambodia, and had nothing to do with the regional situation. Thailand and Cambodia were not in a state of conflict at the time of the incident, so the US report was "old news hype".

Obviously, judging from the clarifications made by Thailand and Cambodia, it is certain that China did reach military cooperation with Cambodia in June, but this was the fulfillment of the previous contract, not intentional, nor did it provide weapons and equipment beyond the scope of cooperation, so it has nothing to do with the Cambodia-Thailand conflict.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the non-governmental organization quoted by the United States was found to be an NGO directly funded by the US State Department after investigation. Combined with the precedent that the United States often used non-governmental organizations to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, it further aggravated the suspicion that the United States took the opportunity to sow discord.

In fact, when it comes to providing weapons to fuel fires, the one most unqualified to blame others is the United States itself. From military aid to Ukraine to arms supply to Israel, enough cases are enough to prove that the United States is the biggest destroyer of the global order.

Obviously, at a time when the conflict between Cambodia and Thailand tends to be controllable, the US report will once again stir up the regional order, which may push the situation in Southeast Asia out of control and undermine the existing stability in Southeast Asia.
