Before the Cambodian-Vietnamese War broke out and the Khmer Rouge was curb stomped, there were several futile attempts at diplomacy on both sides. The internally weak and politically unstable regime of the Khmer Rouge quickly lost their fight with Vietnam, leading to a regime change, so what if the Khmer Rouge lived on?

Perhaps the Khmer Rouge is a bit less genocidal against their Vietnamese population, perhaps neither Vietnam nor Kampuchea expand their border disputes to such violent extremes, perhaps their loose attempts at diplomacy actually lead to something.

However it happens it doesn't matter, but what happens to Cambodia if Pol Pot is left in charge?
