The “Great Giant China” – a book by a veteran Cambodian journalist

You may have read many books written by Cambodian authors on general topics.

But this one entitled –The ‘Great Giant China’ – an English equivalent for its Khmer title - is perhaps a book with a difference.

Its format is different, so is its topic.

The book – written in Khmer – is in fact a sort of compilation of analytical articles by a veteran Cambodian journalist – focusing on China as well as its geopolitics.

Jean-François Tain – who is now Khmer Service director of Radio France International – is the author.

“I think this book provides some knowledge to Cambodians who do not have access to or cannot afford to read books in foreign languages in order to understand about China and its geopolitical complexity as well as what international relations mean. And this is my contribution to the Cambodian society,” Mr. Jean-François Tain said.

The book has 128 pages and contains a total of 38 articles – all about China.

It interestingly ends with an article entitled, “China is an indisputable world superpower.”

So, if you want to find out more about China, you may want to grab a copy of the book from bookshops or newsstands around town. It costs you around 4 dollars. SOURCE: CNC TV
