Russians and Chinese, who would have guessed 555

why are people surprised, nothing new we all know how Thai corrupted politics work

what u make of it.... somebody once told me that you will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

correct, unfortunately in China any "big" company with international activities has to have a link/connections to somebody at the CCP....

it's all much of the same same blablabla.... the new "unelected" PM and other "unelected" bureaucrats recently made their foreign policies clear and their alliances to which type of governance

unfortunately well informed by personal/business experiences, but u don't have to believe me, just keep up with your propaganda that's fine

Chinese propaganda and false promises of employment for locals, Chinese companies bring their own people/employees

that's a lot of ground meat 555 Russia has likely suffered up to 480,000 soldiers killed or wounded in the war against Ukraine, says UK Ministry of Defence https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-likely-suffered-480-000-164004634.html Russian casualties soar by 90% as Putin's generals order furious attacks on small city in east, UK intelligence says https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-casualties-soar-90-putins-113434335.html

get updated, read my above links on the post to @John Drake about the Sri Lanka/Chinese loans

China and transparency are 2 words that don't fit together.... transparency is not a Chinese way of doing business

as I said on another post, my opinion not advise I have no right to advise anybody, but my humble opinion if I were part of Thai government, would be to tread carefully with China, like treading with the devil, below are a couple of examples of people who dealt with China and they are regretting it my point was that China criticizes the USA for helping countries claiming that such help has hidden loyalties on it making these countries subordinated to the USA, as u pointed out, the USA does helps some by allowing them to benefit for USA markets, China incorrectly pointed that out as they are the ones "pretending" to offer help but in no way those countries will have the privilege to access China markets, on the contrary they will become subordinated to China's will. high interest rates, could mention some in Africa and some in SEA, but one particularly comes to mind Sri Lanka and the amount of debt with China Crisis-hit Sri Lanka asks China to restructure its debt https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59932551 In Sri Lanka, China's Building Spree Is Raising Questions About Sovereignty Beijing has bankrolled infrastructure projects in dozens of countries as part of its Belt and Road Initiative, one of the biggest construction efforts in human history. The difference in Hambantota is that the Chinese state-owned operator physically took control of the port in late 2017 — on a 99-year lease — after the Sri Lankan government defaulted on its loans. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/13/784084567/in-sri-lanka-chinas-building-spree-is-raising-questions-about-sovereignty A look back at China's infrastructure projects aiding Sri Lanka https://global.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202102/09/WS6022214ba31024ad0baa8528_1.html

before to committing to anything Thailand should look at some neighboring countries and their "poor/disappointing" relationship with China, they want to grab anything they can, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Japan are a good reference, if I was Thai I would like to keep the Chinese as far away as possible, but some may disagree South China Sea: China coast guard hit Philippine ship, Manila says https://au.yahoo.com/news/south-china-sea-china-coast-053638132.html

Russia Putin cronies the "kings" of denial 555 Russia summoned Czech charge d'affaires over response to Hroza attack The Kremlin said after the attacks that the Russian military does not strike civilian targets in Ukraine. 555 https://au.yahoo.com/news/russia-summoned-czech-charge-daffaires-133336220.html

isn't China criticizing the USA for doing similar type investments

Thailand should tread carefully, there is an old saying..... make a deal with the devil and.....????? The term "a deal with the Devil" (or "Faustian bargain") is also used metaphorically to condemn a person or persons perceived as having cooperated with an evil person or organization.

will create more debt and dependency to China thus speeding up the process of becoming the 23rd China province

didn't know frigates were more expensive then subs.... China is sticking it deep ( I mean no sub 555) into Thailand
