Cambodia 's plan to build a canal linking the Mekong to a port on on its own coast on the Gulf of Thailand is raising alarm.
The $1.7 billion Funan Techo canal is being built with Chinese help.
Cambodia hopes it will support its ambition to export directly from factories without relying on Vietnam .
Cambodia says the canal will be built "no matter what the cost".
Cambodia has rejected criticism of the canal, which is widely seen as an effort by the country's ruling elite to curry support for Prime Minister Hun Manet .
The canal is to be built jointly by Chinese state-owned construction giant China Road and Bridge Corporation and Cambodian companies.
Vietnam has avoided openly criticizing its neighbor, instead communicating its concerns quietly.
