The <entity_1> (Khmer: ហាយនភាពខ្មែរ or ការប្រល័យពូជសាសន៍ខ្មែរ; French: Génocide cambodgien) was the systematic persecution and killing of Cambodians by the <entity_2> under the leadership of Pol Pot, who radically pushed Cambodia towards communism. In 1976, the <entity_2> changed the name of the country to <entity_0>. On 2 January 2001, the Cambodian government established the <entity_2> Tribunal to try the members of the <entity_2> leadership responsible for the <entity_1>. In 1975, <entity_2> defeated the Khmer Republic and started the <entity_1>. In 1978, Son Sen, a <entity_2> leader and the Minister of National Defense of <entity_0>, visited China and obtained its approval for military aid. As a result of Chinese and Western opposition to the Vietnamese invasion of 1978 and 1979, the <entity_2> continued to hold Cambodia's United Nations (UN) seat until 1982, after which the seat was filled by a <entity_2>-dominated coalition known as the Coalition Government of <entity_0> (CGDK). According to Catherine Wessinger, "<entity_0> was officially an atheist state, and the persecution of religion by the <entity_2> was only matched in severity by the persecution of religion in the communist states of Albania (see Religion in communist Albania) and North Korea (see Freedom of religion in North Korea)." The <entity_2> exploited thousands of desensitized, conscripted children in their early teens to commit <entity_3> and other atrocities during and after the genocide. In 2013, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen unanimously passed legislation that prohibits the denial of the <entity_1> and other war crimes committed by the <entity_2>; a bill that mirrors legislation passed in European nations after the conclusion of the Holocaust. In 2009, during the court trials of some of the former <entity_2> leaders, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu claimed that: For a long time China has ... had normal and friendly relations with previous Cambodian governments, including that of <entity_0>.
