Cambodia backs China over Tibet unrest

ABC Radio Australia

Cambodia says the unrest in Tibet was elaborately plotted and organised by a small group of people with ulterior motives.

China's official Xinhua news agency has quoted a secretary of state in Cambodia's ministry of foreign affairs saying the distorted news coverage by the western media was aimed at disturbing the ongoing sessions of the National People's Congress, and to undermine the Bejing Olympic Games.

Cambodia's Long Visalo is also quoted as saying the Lhasa incident was not a peaceful demonstration but a serious riot.

Like Cambodia, Vietnam and Bangladesh have thrown their support behind China, saying that the Tibet issue is purely China's internal matter.
