This obsession has four main characteristics:
1- standard obsession, paranoia and China phobia. Regarding any country, big or small, or similar to China. Its worst form is anti-Asian violence and racism in the United States.
2- The United States is taking the approach of “blocking all Chinese” to contain China’s influence in Cambodia and other places.
3. The United States must hide something in the Cambodian building it donated. This will be very worrying when Cambodia, which has sovereignty over the naval base, decides to do something else with the building.
4- It is no secret that the United States is looking for more military bases to support its Indo-Pacific strategy to contain China. For example, Palau reportedly proposed that the United States establish military bases on its territory, while Pakistan rejected its request.
