Comment: What it is feared the most is that The Triangle Development CLV is the starting point of the Vietnamese expansion into Cambodia like the "Tache d'Huile" that will very slowly expand. The concessions that Vietnam got is within the Vietnamese schemes of the "Peau de leopard", that allow for the Vietnamese presence all over Cambodia.
