The leaders of Cambodia and Thailand agreed to a ceasefire in a bid to bring an end to their deadliest conflict in more than a decade.

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Sunday said China will maintain its fair and impartial position and continue close communication with Cambodia and Thailand, actively facilitate talks for peace and play a constructive role for a ceasefire.

U.S.-backed talks to end the border war, in which militaries have killed dozens of people and displaced hundreds of thousands, began on Monday in Malaysia.

Cambodia recorded a 50.7% year-on-year increase in Chinese tourist arrivals in the first half of 2025, reaching 586,771 visitors, driven by targeted marketing campaigns and increased flights.

"The U.S. already flunked the test and that should be a wakeup call," a former senior U.S. State Department official told Newsweek.

Despite both the US and China urging a ceasefire, Thailand’s acting prime minister says he’s wary of Cambodia’s ‘acting in good faith’.
