Khmer Circle: 

It's debatable whether Mr Sok Eysan himself - or whatever his real name is! - is Khmer by birth or origin. One cannot therefore accuse him of treason since what he is doing is out of patriotic duty for another country! 

There has always been a significant presence of ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia going back even before the colonial era when Vietnam invaded and occupied almost half of the country, installing a pupet ruler [the royal court] to oversee matters on their behalf; an experience that caused widespread resentment among the Khmer populace and which eventually led to the nation-wide revolt against the Vietnamese, both civilian and armed, forcing the ending of that occupation and proxy rule.

Among these ethnic Vietnamese who have remained among the Khmers both inside Cambodia and in the Diaspora, many may be considered to be ordinary citizens who simply, like the vast majority of their Khmer counterparts, only seek refuge and safety from war or persecution. However, a minority of them - like Sok Eysan - cannot be separated from that historical hegemony and legacy that successive Vietnamese states have forced upon Cambodia.
