PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — China stepped in Wednesday to provide Cambodia with more than 250 military vehicles after the United States earlier suspended a similar shipment when the Cambodian government deported 20 asylum seekers.
Washington announced in April that it had suspended a military aid program that included the supply of 200 vehicles in response to Cambodia's deportation of 20 Uighurs who had fled ethnic violence last year in China's far west. China accused the Uighurs of involvement in the violence.
The 257 Chinese vehicles, including 200 transport trucks, were presented to the Cambodian military in a ceremony on the outskirts of Phnom Penh.
