But the point is there. Has China actually sent soldiers to foreign countries ? Well, no. And if so, it's been on a far smaller scale than what the US government has done. America actually sent soldiers to Iraq. America went and destroyed the Gaddafi regime in Libya. And looking back into history, America sent soldiers to Vietnam. And America armed the Contras in Nicaragua. Washington has done far more than Beijing. Surely, we can all see that.

And again, we see double standards (hypocrisy) or lack of knowledge. China took over Tibet ? And now they want Taiwan by force ? Okay, Chiang Kai-Shek is the founding father of modern-day Taiwan. You do realise that he was also the recognised political head of mainland China for two decades prior to 1949 ? Chiang Kai-Shek certainly recognised Tibet as part of China when he was leader of China. In other words, China recognised Tibet as part of China long before 1949. And Chiang Kai-Shek's China came up with the nine dash line map in 1947, that's the map that both the Chinas are using to claim ownership of the South China Sea. Yes, todays Taiwan (Republic of China) is claiming ownership of the South China Sea, and Peoples Republic of China also claims the South China Sea. CSK went to Taiwan and founded todays Taiwan. China is having a border dispute with India ? Well, China and India are both backing Russia in the Russia against Ukraine war. They're both buying Russia's oil. India is not actually a friend of America/Europe. Korea ? The USA has a large military presence in South Korea. Why is that ? Supposedly, to stop North Korea invading South Korea. And the real reason ? The US government likes to have military bases dotted across the world. If or when World War Three breaks out, America can use it's bases in South Korea and Okinawa to launch it's big attack/invasion on China. As for oil, China didn't send soldiers into Vietnam to get oil. A big world power did actually send soldiers to Iraq in 2003, and it was mainly about oil. But the excuse of Saddam being a danger and threat to America and Europe was trotted out to the newspapers.

So Thailand's (actually, Thais) ability to speak English is poor. But does it really matter ? Thailand's GDP per person is far greater than Vietnam's and Philipinnes. And even though most Thais have poor ability in English, Thailand still rakes in lots of tourism revenue.

I've noticed a whole load of irrelevant comments about Chinese being outside of China, and Chinese people winning Nobel prizes. Okay, what's the difference between Europeans in Canada and Brazil, and, and Chinese in various Far East countries ? Surely, it's the same thing ? Lots of Europeans and Chinese leaving their home doesn't actually mean that they hate their home.

I was being a bit sarcastic, trying to be funny. I'm trying to highlight the silly attitude some people have. America turning up at various countries is regarded as "spreading freedom and democracy". China turning up at various countries is regarded as "exploitation and colonisation".

I'm sorry, but the double standards, or hypocrisy, from people is certainly there. How about we accept that, America has already had it's turn to try and take over Vietnam and Afghanistan. How about let China carry out it's attempt to take over Vietnam, Afghanistan and Taiwan ? Also, China is not interested in taking over Nicaragua, Venezuela, and other Latin American countries. Latin America is closer to the USA than China, yes. Let America take over, or continue being in control, of Latin America. Let China spread it's influence and control over the Far East. And no, we don't want Japan taking over the Far East, we don't want to see America and China combining in a mass war against Japan. It will be disastrous for Japan, just like last time when it happened.

Yeah, you're right. Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Philippines are not friends with China. But, what about Thailand, what Thailand ? That's what we really want to know. Will Thailand ever stop being a Chinese colony ? I don't think Thailand ever will. Vietnam might be wishing that the Americans had of won that Vietnam War, but Thailand will always be China's younger brother. ????

You detest mass Chinese tourism ? So if Chinese tourists made up just 5% of the tourists entering Thailand, that's okay ? If tourists from North America, Europe, Japan and Australia, when combined, if they outnumber the Chinese by 20 to 1, that's okay then ? ???? Do you wonder why Thailand allowed the flood of Chinese tourists during the decade before Covid ? So you reckon Thailand made a mistake doing this ? Don't bother trying to tell the Thais this. ????

So, you hate China's foreign policy, and you don't like the Chinese tourists. The debt trap they've laid on poorer nations ? You do realise China in Africa today is a 'diluted action replay' of what Europe did earlier on ? France and Britain sent soldiers out there, to carve out empires, and I'm not interested in blasting Britain for creating "the Empire where the Sun never sets". ???? Massive military expansion ? China joined the 'nuclear bomb club' back in 1960s, so you reckon only NATO and Russia should have nukes ? You do realise the USA navy is massively greater than what China has got ? As for Taiwan, how about let the two Chinas carry on or, re-start, their Chinese civil war. You do realise Chiang Kai-Shek is the Founding Father of modern-day Taiwan ? You do realise he was also leader of main-land China for two decades, from the late 1920s onwards ? You hate the Chinese government, but you don't hate the people in mainland-China ??? I wonder. ????

What is it I'm trying to say ??? Off-course, I'm trying to be funny. My posts are a "send up" of those people who don't like Chinese tourists. I myself, it makes no difference to me if I see loads of Chinese tourists at Savarnabumi Airport or Pattaya, or I see none at all. I simply think it's hilarious that loads of people simply don't like them Chinese tourists, and such people are actually happy that covid has killed off the number of Chinese tourist in Thailand. Some people must really hate them Chinese tourists, in order to reckon that one of the benefits of covid has been killing off the Chinese tourists. Them Chinese were flooding into Thailand during the decade prior to covid. I say with laughter, I look forward to the day when the whole of planet earth returns to normal, and we get back to seeing all the normal tourists in Thailand, London, Paris, etc, etc. ????

So, what lots of people are trying to say, is this. "This covid thing has been a blessing in disguise. It's killed some people, and it's been an inconvenience for most people. Them vaccination jabs and all the rest of it. But it's all been worth it. It's cleared out the Chinese tourists at Savurnabami and Don Muang Airport, and also Pattaya, and all over Thailand" . ???? And, "oh, they started this covid thing, and it's now biting them on the ___ , they're having lockdowns in China, nobody in Europe or America is doing a lockdown, and they're the ones who aren't allowed to leave their own country and turn up in Thailand" . ????

And this, is actually how lots of people feel. ???? As in, "we don't really care if covid kills us or whatever other people, the important thing is this, it reduces the giant crowds of Chinese people at Savurnabami Airport when we enter there". ????

We must remember, it's not the people of America that we are condemning. We are condemning the government of the USA. Yes, the US government is a bigger danger and threat to world peace than Russia and China. Certainly so.

About the proof of vaccine. Do you really need an actual paper certificate ? In Britain, there is the NHS Covis Pass that is sent by email. Do you think it will be okay to just take a photo of the 2D barcode using a mobile phone camera, and show the photo of the 2D barcode ? Any comments from people who have entered any country with vaccine certificates will be welcome. Thanks.
