     Last week I recall an article that Australian police searched one of these Chinese luxury jets, they arrested a cousin of President Xi, on some form of arrest warrant, and found other items of interest, that are still being investigated.

     Can't imagine Thai police being so diligent. I believe money laundering was involved.

      Ever since Bill Gates, let his monkeys out to play at Microsoft, Windows has become a joke, with all its untried or untested so called updates. Everything is to do with profit making now, like having to pay for the basic things windows provided, and screwing up computers, .makes more profit for engineers and shops selling the junk

          When you get dictators with Putins blessing, there's not much hope of getting Lukashenko to quit, all the time communism prevails.

          It's time to put all communist parties on the terrorist list

      2 years for posting a negative view, 99 years for corruption  (if your a Phue Thai member) and I'm sure the list goes on and on.

     Vicha is certainly on the right track, but when justice becomes Political, its always going to be on a downward slope.

       Cambodia's political system is as bad as China's, when is the world going to take action.

           Its just wishfull thinking that anything will come this, Banks are only interested in money, so they only go after the small fry, to suggest they are doing something to prevent money laundering, but add a row of zeroes, and all's forgotten

          The second such case in 2 days, suppose there will be more. You give them better roads and they still screw it up.

        With so much corruption in Thailand, 99 years is just a sentence against the Pheu Thai Party.

        Trump is not the best US President, but he's right to condemn China and WHO, China's lies and cover up amounts to negligent manslaughter in any other language, of hundreds of thousand's of lives world wide, 

        The Chinese are only good at copying and stealing technology, they should not allowed to fool around with such terrible germ warfare activities, its not the first time, probably not the last, in their quest to be the master race. 

     Just Bangkok ?   What about other Regions, 

      From what I've seen, North Korea's army consists mainly of builders anyway, because that,s what they mainly do all year round, jobs for the boys, cheap labour.

Since the centre was established in March, every case it had investigated had resulted in the accused teacher being found guilty and having their teaching licence cancelled, he added.

       So if you don't like your teacher, just call the 1579 hotline. could work.

      Unfortunetly, Thais seem to think all foreigners are wealthy, maybe better off than many Thais, but, not all of us have money to through around. I would like to have a break and get away to the beach maybe for a couple of weeks, but regret the Thai baht exchange rate has been so damaging to the Thai economy all round.

after poisoning "KGB' gives Russian doctors to save life for Navalniy. Are you serious?

      Sending Russian doctors appeared to be a total waste of time, as they failed miserably, or deliberatly to identify the Novichoc as the cause, which then suggest's that they never would of cured him, sending him to Berlin was political, in the hope the world never found out.

Names of opponents who were murdered, please.

     If your Russian, you would have a better knowledge of all those killed, and start with the poisoned brolly incident in London years ago, but the Kremlins propaganda would obviously put you in denial.

     The origional agreement was a building block on which further agreements of Britain leaving the EU was based, but the EU has made the talks increasingly difficult, in order to keep Britain tied to the block in one way or another.

     Britain should just walk away now, and accept it's not going to get a reasonable deal from the EU anyway.

Moscow says it has seen no evidence he was poisoned.

       Just like Moscow has no evidence, that Putin was behind a massif fraud scandal before he came to power, or the massif bomb explosions that killed many Russians in Moscow, in which Putin falsely blamed Chechnia, or passing a law that enemies of the state deserve to be killed, or even the fraudulent means by which Putin has made his wealth, let alone all the other disappeared or murdered opponents during his reign of power.

      It's going to be extremely hard to find anyone in Thailand with the brains and intelligence to fill this job, They might as well look for a good chef, capable of cooking the books.

Representatives of Russia and China, both of which hold veto powers at the United Nations, told the U.N. session they opposed outside intervention in the internal affairs of Belarus.

       How does the UN put up with these two countries. The world would be a better place without them.

         Just reminds me of the gigantic fuss that was made when a news reporter flew into Thailand with bullet proof vest.

         No weapons of war in this story ??????

      If this deal ever went through, then no doubt a Chinese naval base would be at each end, and no financial benefit for Thailand, except for the Generals.

     I know Thai prisons are not good, but 8000 in one prison ?????
