THREAD: An apparent military drone recently fell out of the sky near a Chinese development in Koh Kong, Cambodia. We originally profiled this development in 2018; since then, it's been the focus of reporting on China’s secretive presence in Cambodia. 1/4 mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-0…
Our report Harbored Ambitions by @D_Thorne and @BenSpevack details the deep water port & airport being developed in Koh Kong. Cambodia has since agreed to allow Chinese soldiers on nearby Ream Naval Base and has hosted Chinese military delegations. 2/4 nytimes.com/2019/12/22/wor…
We have acquired what we believe to be copies of the original lease and royal decree behind the Koh Kong development. The details match public reporting that a Chinese company took ownership of over 20% of Cambodia’s coastline for 99 years. 3/4 perma.cc/KZ3C-AAYL
The company, Union Development Group, got 36,000 hectares for 30 USD/ha, violating a Cambodian land law prohibiting concessions over 10,000ha. To learn more about this deal, see our investigation of UDG in Harbored Ambitions. 4/4 c4ads.org/s/Harbored-Amb…
