This is CBSI on the world. I'm John Batchler. Gordon Chang at Gordon G. Chang, my colleague and co-host,

and we're very pleased to welcome General Blaine Holt, U.S. Air Force retired, served in NATO.

Right now he's here to help us understand a story that looks alarming, but maybe just routine

GDP gathering up by the People's Republic of China, a base of some kind of basing in Cambodia

called a joint logistics and training center for the PLA Air Force.

Blaine, a very good evening to you.

Joint logistics and training center, that must be language for something else.

Does Cambodia gain from this?

Is this a good thing for Cambodia to become a target in a conflict zone?

Good evening to you.

Good evening. Yeah, it's another expansion of people's liberation army, but joint logistics

is kind of ubiquitous. It could mean anything. It could also mean an enabler to all of the

illegal illicit Chinese CCP activities in Cambodia like human trafficking, cyber warfare,

counterfeiting, drug, narcotics, narco terror.

The country of Cambodia is a failed state, and it's largely a crime scene and a crime area

for the Chinese Communist Party.

Gordon, have a question for the general.

General, this looks like a Navy base.

Cambodia said this base would be open to all.

So do you think we're going to find the U.S. 7th Fleet visiting RIM in Cambodia anytime soon?

No, but I think that the country of Vietnam is going to get super interested in the ports around

Danang, maybe being at least refueling stops for seven-th-fleet ships.
