China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is reportedly building a secret naval base in Cambodia as the Chinese Communist regime seeks to expand its “historic sphere of influence” in the Indo-Pacific region.

The base buildings are at a northern part of Cambodia’s Ream Naval Base on the Gulf of Thailand, The Washington Post reported on June 6, citing two Western officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
