Craigt, IF it was the case that Beijing told Thailand "okay, buy Chinese subs, don't buy the German ones, and China will continue to flood Pattaya and Thailand with Chinese tourists, and if you buy German subs, well, China might restrict the number of Chinese turning up in Thailand".  IF Beijing did actually say that, well, do you reckon that Beijing is wrong ??

The thing is, I think Thailand should be allowed the freedom of choice to go and do what it wants to do. And surely, the same applies to Vietnam and the Philippines. Do you feel the same way ?

You say that my views are warped ? I predict that Thailand buying Chinese subs, and Chinese anything, it's going to continue. It will continue for as long as Chinese tourists are flooding Thailand.

You're off in la la land again.  What's tourists got to do with all this stuff?  Where are you????

Craigt, and Morch as well. Do try and think about what's going on.

Beijing flooding whatever countries with Chinese tourists, what has this got to do with anything ?
Look, flooding Thailand with Chinese tourists, this is already happening, this is the generous carrot that is being given to Thailand, in return for buying Chinese subs. Craigt, why do you think Thailand bought the Chinese subs ?  Thailand didn't buy Chinese subs because, because Beijing's face is more beautiful than Germany's face.
There's also the issue of Thai companies having access to the vast China market.



What about Vietnam ? Why on earth would Vietnam talk to China about ownership of the South China Sea ?  It's because Beijing is again, offering a giant carrot to Vietnam. The giant carrot being "Vietnam will be flooded by Chinese tourists", and Vietnamese companies will be given access to China's vast market. That's the huge carrot being offered to Vietnam. In return, Vietnam hands over the South China Sea. Why would Vietnam hand over the South China Sea to China ?

Oh, and if Vietnam continues to protest against China taking over the South China Sea, well, Beijing might massively restrict the number of Chinese tourists turning up in Vietnam. And Beijing might target Vietnamese companies, and restrict whatever access they have to the vast China market. And maybe slap some serious taxes onto Vietnamese goods that enter China. All this is going to hurt Vietnam. Can you guys see that ?
If you want to say that, that Beijing is being a bully by doing this, well, go ahead.
