Cant get past the word Communist and McCarthyism. Chicoms indeed. Dinosaurs are extinct too. I've no issue thinking for myself. What's worse than actually living under Communism? Living under the pretense of Communism where the only thing socialized is debt and despair. Where party apartachiks enjoy everything and 'the people' nothing. The 70s revolutions brought in the same opaque, top down autocracies as they proclaimed they would dissolve. China has made a mess of it's markets. The juggling act continues especially with government industries and real estate gambits. It would have gotten nowhere save for the wholesale theft of other nations intellectual property Of course in this day and age it's growing more difficult by the day to exercise basic human rights in even the west.

Hong Kong is a province of China before Britain forced Beijing to concede to them for 100 years. Hong Kong citizens are Chinese citizens. If UK and USA are so concerned, they should freely allow the citizens to migrate to their countries. Guess not. They just want to creat the noise but no bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. If you are in business, don't you think that the right thing to do is to always be very nice to your top customer? Especially if the customer also has the money to invest in your business? Why listen to a thug that wants to drive a wedge between you and your top customer, especially if this thug has no money and always threaten you with violence? Did China ever try to conquer Malaysia and the Philippines? Nope.

tifino Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 they can stabilise all that part of the world, by concreting the remaining nothingness of their own backyard - instead of spreading out to assimilate neighbouring countries! - a sort of 20/21st century version of the american population expansion out into the wild west... china could become Earth's ballast, instead of wasting it all on ballistic ???? world domination 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Nature abhors a vacuum and the USA, UK, and Europe in general have a dismal record of becoming true allies and partners for the Kingdom and other ASEAN participants. As the West pulls its head back in its shell, look for a future world run by the Chinese and Russians. History, Geography, and smart forward looking strategies are at work here ... and the USA in particular ... is just handing over the keys and walking away.

All over Europe, Axis and Axis allied leaders had to face the music for the actions. The same in Asia.

I am going to guess you are a Trumpster, because you have a narrow grasp of (actual) history, an understanding that Thailand was a bit like Finland's deal with Germany (Ok, you can travel through our country ...) .. that there WAS a Thai Resistance force .. etc. Bottom line. Thailand did little either way in WW2. I will guess you are a Thai hater ... and probably not capable of seeing any good in The Kingdom. So, I will share with you that I find that (1) You will NOT change your mind / opinion ... (2) even if presented with facts that contradict your view. My time has value, and I am not interested in a flame fest with a Thai Visa / Thai Hater. So, in that spirit, I wish you the best and say Goodbye, and Good Luck.

The don't like to government there. And hate the restrictions. Vietnam is another country where the people hate the government. Or at least the hotel owners and people I talked to. Not saying it is better than the western politicians. But, The common working people do not like communism. Also in Vietnam they were scared to death about being heard talking about the party. So?
