Cambodia Internet Gateway: Securing National Information Space

The Southeast Asian country of Cambodia continues taking steps in its battle against US interference within its internal political affairs. More recently it has begun implementing an Internet gateway to secure the nation’s information space from abuse, manipulation, and infiltration by Western interests.

Under the guise of “human rights advocacy,” Western-sponsored fronts are decrying the move – but only to keep vectors of foreign interference open at the expense of Cambodia’s sovereignty & national security.
