Article Abstract:
The Vietnamese continue to occupy Kampuchea, which they invaded five years ago, forcing out the brutal Khmer Rouges. The communist Khmer Rouges regularly raid Kampuchea, justifying the Vietnamese need to remain there. Other military factions in the area wish to form a stronger coalition with the Khmer Rouges against the Vietnamese. China, which has supported the Khmer Rouges, may aid other coalition members.
