CCP learned a lot from Sun Tzu. Chinese Undercut Competitors Economies in Several Ways & then Swoop in to Buy Bankruptcies & Fire Sales. CCP is using stolen intellectual property & its huge lower paid blue-collar population to dump on the world products that are at times, but not always, inferior. This gains them economic advantage leading to political & military advantage. An endless list of examples where Thai economy is suffering, automotive, solar panels, etc see link below. Chinese Companies Eye Struggling Thai Bus and Restaurant Sectors for Expansion, Thai Business Owners Concerned - The Pattaya News Quote: "On August 10th, 2024, Thai business insiders reported that several local bus operators are facing severe financial difficulties, with rising costs and continued losses forcing many to consider selling their businesses. In response, Chinese companies, both bus manufacturers and operators, began negotiations to acquire these struggling Thai firms as a means of expanding their market into Thailand. A source revealed that the Chinese are particularly interested in introducing electric buses, noting that half of Thailand’s bus fleet has already vanished from service due to the ongoing business crisis. Chinese investors are reportedly setting up their own restaurants, similar to the ‘zero-based tours,’ where tourists dine only at Chinese-owned establishments,”.

Need some money - Refuse to provide more money for unneeded Chinese submarines.

Check the small but well-known key shop on outer moat road on corner where it intersects with Soi Wualai (Sat nite Walking St rd). They did Isuzu, Ford & Honda Click MC for me.

I didn't have to do that. I drove my MX5 registered in CM (with CM plates) to Jomtien & a fellow there bought it & drove it back to Bangkok to put it in his name there. He never reported any problems back to me.

Artisi, You said it better than me, but I repost my comment from another thread: "Shameful. If Thailand's economy /people didn't drastically need industrial foreign direct investment I would advocate that everybody broadcast to the world the following social /political truth: "Thailand is still a Feudal Patronage Society Masquerading as a Constitutional Monarchy".

Shameful. If Thailand's economy /people didn't drastically need industrial foreign direct investment I would advocate that everybody broadcast to the world the following social /political truth: "Thailand is still a Feudal Patronage Society Masquerading as a Constitutional Monarchy".

I wish them luck in getting loving forever homes.

Dr Siri at CMU Sriphat has Thurs am appts: 053-934-733. Good reputation.

I'm being sarcastic.

RTN Admirals reply: Why spend money on infrastructure development when we have an urgent need for Chinese submarines?

Similar to Biden cancelling student debt, even after US Supreme Court said he could not.

Quote: "...raising concerns about the government's fiscal discipline." What fiscal discipline? What about that unnecessary Chinese submarine?

Ref today's AN link to the closure of a prominent Amata City factory, I had the following comment about infrastructure projects: "It is such continuing Thai economic developments such as this factory closure that highlight the stupidity & military arrogance of using limited budgets to purchase Chinese submarines. Any infrastructure development, even if wasteful, would serve Thai working people better than Chinese submarines."

It is such continuing Thai economic developments such as this that highlight the stupidity & military arrogance of using limited budgets to purchase Chinese submarines. Any infrastructure development, even if wasteful, would serve Thai working people better than Chinese submarines.

Agree. Thailand: "Feudal Patronage Society Masquerading as a Constitutional Monarchy".

Thailand's economy is in the crapper and this kind of decision-making ref priority spending is one of the reasons.

Appreciate the apology. FYI, if not already aware, at the drive thru window you don't even have to get out of the car, & if you show them the TM95 they should be able to tell you if they will honor it in future when yours is due. Thanks again for the apology

Jerk weed?? Thanks. My TM95 is not due yet, but when the time approaches I will go to CM Immigration to ask If someone else hasn't already reported. It would have been just as easy for you to go to CM Immigration & ask as it was for you to go to Star Visa. Do your homework if you are in such deadly fear. I'm willing to bet that you were the first TM95 customer for Star Visa because CM Immigration is not giving folks a TM95 problem. Thanks again for calling me Jerk weed. What a personality.

Just go to CM Immigration and ask.

I am not aware that Chiang Mai Immigration may have refused to process the TM95 report. Am I missing something?

Looks like a good fit. Just don't be tempted by any PRC/CCP loss leader "Faustian Bargains".

"Sandy Liw, General Manager of InterContinental Khao Yai Resort, underscored the need for infrastructure improvements, especially in lesser-known areas." Never mind that, the admirals demand money for submarines.

Some articles for perspective: 13Jun2024 Sleepwalking Toward War: Will America and China Heed the Warnings of Twentieth-Century Catastrophe? (foreignaffairs.com) “China’s industries cannot keep growing unrestricted at the expense of everyone else. The smartest move China could make on trade is to agree to regulate its exports in such a way that they do not make it impossible for other countries’ domestic industries to compete in important areas such as electric vehicles or solar panels and other equipment necessary for decarbonization.” “If China continues to flood other markets with its cheap versions of these products, a lot of countries, including some that have not been overly concerned by China’s growth, will begin to unilaterally restrict market access to Chinese goods.” “Unrestricted trade wars are not in anyone’s interest. Countries are increasingly imposing higher tariffs on imports and limiting trade and the movement of capital. But if this trend turns into a deluge of tariffs, then the world is in trouble, in economic as well as political terms.” 09May2024 Trump Is Right: We Should Raise Tariffs on China - The American Conservative US let China manufacture everything in order to get less expensive goods.
