Скачать или смотреть Thailand-Cambodia War Escalates: Proxy Battle in US-China New Cold War? (December 2025 Update)

In December 2025, the long-simmering border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has erupted into intense fighting, with Thai F-16 airstrikes, artillery barrages, thousands displaced, and civilian casualties on both sides. Despite U.S. President Trump's claims of a ceasefire, clashes continue along the disputed Preah Vihear temple area and beyond.
This video analyzes the escalation from a military-political perspective: Is this local conflict really a proxy showdown in the new US-China Cold War in Southeast Asia? Thailand, bolstered by closer ties to Washington through joint exercises like Cobra Gold, faces off against Cambodia – Beijing's strategic ally with deep BRI investments and potential naval access at Sihanoukville.
Key points covered:

Historical roots around Preah Vihear temple
China's rising influence via Belt and Road in Cambodia
U.S. alliances strengthening with Thailand and the region
Why now? Testing reactions, dividing ASEAN, and high Indo-Pacific stakes

A ancient temple dispute has become a global power arena. What does this mean for regional stability and great power rivalry?
