Nothing that this man says can be taken seriously. He is a man with very little in the way of knowledge, capability, competence, vision, and judgment. It is typical that he would kiss up to the Chicoms. Doing what is best for his people is just not part of his M.O., nor the army's.

Sure seems to me Prayut’s relationship with the ChiComs is what’s killing exports, western tourism and expats.  The hot money inflows keep tumbling in—and Bank of Thailand never admits where this foreign hot money comes from.

China is Thailand’s competitor—but they just don’t get it.

Funny as that's NOT what he recently told United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.

Prayut said that Thailand will focus on establishing a partnership with Asean nations to promote sustainable development among Asean and other regions globally. 

He didn't praise China in his talks with Guterres.

A world wide referendum should be organize which would ask 2 questions:

Would you like to live under a Chinese Communist Regime or

live under a fully Democratic System.

As for Hong Kong, anyone who think he/she supports China's Politic, should

be kicked out of Hong Kong and transferred to mainland China.

You should get some objectivity.
American elites have been doing the same for decades.
Instead of talking, you should be very busy right now
hanging high lobbyists and senators in the US 555

I think we all know where this is coming from.

$100 he couldn’t point out all the Asian counties in the region on a map, even if the names were on the map and written in English.

Asean and China have committed to increasing trade and investment, targeting trade volume of US$150 billion next year.

Ask the local residents of Sihanoukville if any of that investment has trickled down yet, or remained in mainly Chinese pockets?

You may get a different opinion.

Agreed and we are about to see the Chinese President head to the USA to sign a Part 1 trade deal and exchange smiles with an ignorant Donald Trump.   Trump's tariff war has been a disaster.

 

Instead of blocking the Chinese from  buying up  American debt, he allows it to go on in increasing numbers. China owns part of the US with massive inflows of money into real esteate and  companies.

 

China educates it's citizens in the USA- mostly those in the Communist Party so they can learn the ins and outs of the American  system so they can continue to steal American  technology.

 

Trump should have been at Asean pumping the flesh and showing that Asean is an important part of the US-Pacific alliance.  Instead he sends a low level representative and Comeerce Secretary Wilbur Ross who spent more on redecorating his office that the average Thai makes in a lifetime.

 

Trump also ditched the Trans Pacific Partnership which was supposed to challenge China's Belt and Road.

 

Prayut and his leadership best take notice of the latest UN  study which rates Thailand's  wealth difference  as the worst in the World.  Thailand's 1% own 67% of all of Thailand's wealth , a differential at number 1 in the World.  India is second. This means there are huge numbers of Thais below  or at the poverty line with little hope of advancing up the income scale. I seriously doubt a 1000 Baht Smart card will keep them happy

Very Impressive and well done. Thailand thanks China … and vice versa.

Prime Minister Khun Prayut Chan O Cha hosted many high level dignitaries over the past few days in which bilateral trade, investment and infrastructure were discussed.

Good for the Prime Minister and Great for Thailand.

 

He is great at talking, but he has let Thai Airlines go down the poisonous gas tubs Bangkok is famous for.  Can't wind us up anymore Mr.100.  Your days of fun are over.

On the Human Rights issue I read earlier that in fact (apparently) they all refuse to discuss it. The excuse is that the meeting is about trade and the like...wouldn't want to upset 'mummy China' now would they, Ha!

It's just realpolitik, better to make friends with China, what are the other options?  The US has shown itself to be an unreliable ally. Little else the little man can do.

No, Malaysia has backed off and joined the China landgrab. Dr. M. and Duterte are going to join other ASEAN whipped dogs in a crawl-a-thon to see who can most lick China's boots.

Where is America in this region the last 3 years? Trump has disengaged America from this region on his first day. He befriend Kim, divert the battleships to Australia during those tense moment in Korea, stop the SK/US war games, threatened SK and Japan with troop withdrawal unless they pay, mute when NK fire off the missiles. He single handedly withdraw from TPP and only send a low level minister to this ASEAN meeting. He has created a void for China to grab the advantage.
