They wanted all the Chinese FFS !!
Did they think the Chinese were going to come on holiday, eat everything in sight , then shop and leave.
They are everywhere doing whatever they want until caught . Pretty sure most of the stuff in cheap Thai shops will be Chinese made .
I have seen several buildings in the guise of restaurants with Chinese writing all over the outside and staff standing around all day doing nothing. Yet I have not seen anyone actually in these places sitting eating.
