Yes , load countries which are already in huge debt with high interest and short loan terms and grab their land. So in layman terms, CCP are loan sharks and Mafia everyone should avoid. A good read for you as well. These are links so feel free to learn ???? China debt trap is a term used to describe a situation where a country borrows money from China for infrastructure projects and then struggles to repay the debt, leading to China gaining leverage or control over the borrower’s assets or policies1. Some examples of countries that have been accused of falling into China’s debt trap are Laos1, Sri Lanka2, and Djibouti2. China’s debt trap may affect Africa in various ways, such as: It may increase the debt burden and vulnerability of some African countries, especially those that rely heavily on China for financing their infrastructure projects. For instance, Zambia, Angola, and Djibouti are among the countries that have high debt-to-GDP ratios and high exposure to China1 . It may create a dependency and loss of agency for some African countries, as they may have to accept China’s terms and conditions for debt relief or restructuring, or grant China access to their natural resources or strategic assets. For example, China acquired a 99-year lease of a port in Djibouti after the country failed to repay its debts1. Some of the implications of China’s debt trap are: It may undermine the sovereignty and autonomy of the borrower countries, as they may have to cede strategic assets or align with China’s interests in exchange for debt relief or restructuring12. It may create a risk of debt distress and instability in the borrower countries, as they may face difficulties in servicing their debts amid the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout. This may also affect the global debt relief efforts, as China is the largest sovereign creditor to the world’s poorest countries2.

Thai man fined and sentenced to prison over craft beer review
RandiRona replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand News
When can we expect Thailand to come out of Dark ages?? For crying out sake Thailand is known as R&R capital of world and it is not because of temples. Instead of enabling better education and knowledge for the masses, they are punishing the masses for exposing reality.- 121 replies

Thai woman arrested for allegedly killing 5 with cyanide
RandiRona replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand News
Cyanide can be found in nature in some foods and plants, such as lima beans, almonds, cassava, and apricot pits. These contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide when broken down by enzymes23. Cyanide is also used in manufacturing and industrial processes, such as making paper, textiles, plastics, and photographs. It is also used in mining, electroplating, metal cleaning, and removing gold from its ore. Cyanide can be used as a pest control agent, a medical treatment, or a food additive14. -

I am sure some of them are automated bots , kind of ChatGPT , which reads the text and reply something in favor of CCP and against everyone else. Some of them available for commercial use.

CCP(not Chinese) when it comes to attacking other countries is no saint. When it comes to military escalations, it comes down to intent, capability and execution. Chinese always intend to expand their territory but lacked capability and execution. Now they have developed both so that is the reason all south China sea countries are intimidated by rise of China. China attacked Vietname, Soviet Union, India, Taiwan, Mongolia in last 70 years and wont hesitate to do it again if not of US and allies standing against it. Best is to stay Neutral and dont facilitated CCP. Below is Chinese adventurism in their neighbourhood. According to the list of Chinese wars and battles ¹, some of the wars that China fought from 1950 till 2023 are: - The Korean War (1950–1953), in which China supported North Korea against South Korea and its UN allies, led by the United States. The war ended with a ceasefire and a demilitarized zone along the 38th parallel. ¹ - The First and Second Taiwan Strait Crises (1954–1955 and 1958), in which China attempted to assert its sovereignty over Taiwan, which was controlled by the Republic of China government that fled the mainland after losing the Chinese Civil War. The crises were resolved with US intervention and a ceasefire. ¹ - The Sino-Indian War (1962), in which China clashed with India over a disputed Himalayan border. China captured some Indian territory before declaring a ceasefire and withdrawing its troops. ¹ - The Vietnam War (1965–1969), in which China provided military and economic aid to North Vietnam and its communist allies against South Vietnam and its US-led allies. China also sent some troops to help defend North Vietnam from US bombing raids. China withdrew its forces after the US began to scale down its involvement in the war. ¹ - The Sino-Soviet Border Conflict (1969), in which China and the Soviet Union engaged in several skirmishes along their shared border over territorial and ideological disputes. The conflict was de-escalated with diplomatic talks and a border agreement in 1991. ¹ - The Sino-Vietnamese War (1979), in which China launched a punitive invasion of Vietnam to punish it for overthrowing the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, which was allied with China. The war lasted for about a month and both sides claimed victory. China withdrew its troops but continued to support the anti-Vietnamese resistance in Cambodia until 1989. ¹ - The Sino-Vietnamese Conflicts (1979–1991), in which China and Vietnam had several border clashes and naval incidents over their disputed territories and maritime rights. China also occupied some reefs in the Spratly Islands after a skirmish with Vietnam in 1988. The conflicts ended with the normalization of relations between the two countries after the 1990 Chengdu summit. ¹ Source: Conversation with Bing, 4/23/2023 (1) List of Chinese wars and battles - Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_wars_and_battles.

Some buses are free in Bangkok. What number are they?
RandiRona replied to Goodboybkk's topic in Bangkok
This is what I got from Bing chatgpt. That’s an interesting topic. I found out that there are some free bus services in Bangkok that connect the main public transportation lines with nearby tourist attractions, such as the floating markets1. There are also free shuttle buses and ad-hoc buses between the new Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal and Hua Lamphong station, which is the old railway station2. These buses are provided by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority to support the long-haul train services that have shifted to the new terminal2. -
I am sure there is… one which is written in Thai and which they are selling for ages regarding Thailand never been colonized or never lost a war and one real interpretation in other languages which most Thais can’t read. here is Thailand being a great neighbor. Thailand played a significant role in the bombing of Laos during the Vietnam War. According to the New York Times1, Thailand hosted seven air bases that launched American military aircraft daily on missions to strike strategic targets in Laos, North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The United States funded the rapid expansion of a naval base and port facilities that brought war-related supplies into the region. Thailand also deployed combat troops to Laos to confront Viet Minh and communist Pathet Lao forces, and provided forward air guides for the CIA’s covert operations in Laos2. The U.S. Air Force began bombing targets in Laos in 1964, flying planes like AC-130s and B-52s full of cluster bombs on covert missions based out of Thailand3. As a result, Laos became the most heavily bombed nation in history, with over two million tons of cluster bombs dropped over the country3

Thailand always sold themselves to the one who pays more. Historically from British to Japan to Americans to Chinese, they have changed hands and loyalty multiple times but what is not changed is Generals's spineless character. They help bombed their own neighbourhood for petty dollas.... I am sure they will figure out something to please the one with more dough or power.....
