- For the time being, AidData has assumed that MOFCOM financed the entire project cost ($4 million). This issue warrants further investigation.
- The 2015 grant commitment date is an approximation based on the first year in which the Cambodian Government began working with the Chinese Government on the Council of Ministers Bodyguard Building Project.
- The Council of Ministers bodyguard unit has been described as a ‘3,000-strong private army equipped with armoured personnel carriers, missile launchers and Chinese-made machine guns’. It formed a highly unusual ‘military-commercial alliance’ in 2010 with Unite International, a company controlled by Fu Xianting, a well-connected Chinese tycoon who has big tourism interests in Cambodia. Unite International donated 220 motorbikes to the Council of Ministers bodyguard unit in 2009.
