'Cambodia's 'postponed' exercises and the US 'pivot'

Cambodias recent suspension or postponement of military exercises with the United States has in some ways come as a surprise and in another sense isnt surprising at all. For several years Cambodia has been playing the field, seeking to capitalise on its relations with China and the US, among others, to best suit its interests. Only this time, Hun Sen may feel he has greater leeway than ever before in snubbing the Americans without worrying much about negative consequences.
