Satellite photos has revealed that Chinese company Union Development Group has been constructing an airport in Koh Kong province, Cambodia.
However, questions were raised as to why the airport has such a long runway.
“The runway is about 3,400 meters long, which is larger than the international airport in Phnom Penh and could accommodate any plane in the Chinese air force,” South China Morning Post quoted Gregory Poling, director of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies as saying.
