A credible new opposition party – the Cambodia National Rescue Party – has emerged under Sam Rainsy (who looks a little more like a national leader now than just a monochromatic anti-Vietnamese crusader), gaining significant popular support. A large number of social-media-savvy young voters have been turning out in the streets demanding a change of government.
长期以来，洪森及其同党肆无忌惮地使用暴力、侵害人权、公行腐败、操纵媒体和选举，并且从未受到过严重的国内外挑战。但局面已经开始改变。一个信誉卓著的新政党——柬埔寨救国党（Cambodia National Rescue Party）在沈良西的领导下崛起（如今，沈良西更像是一位国家领袖，而不是仅仅是一位单纯的反越南斗士），获得了大量民众支持。大量善于使用社交媒体的年轻选民开始走上街头，要求改选政府。
