The effects of the US-China trade conflict are expected to worsen now that the US has signed into law a bill to support Hong Kong’s democracy, a move that has infuriated the Chinese government infuriated, Anusorn Tamajai, Director of Economic and Business Research Centre - Institute of Economics, Rangsit University, said on Sunday.

 

Thailand has to prepare for global financial instability since export figures are unlikely to be -negative in the first half of 2020.

 

The Thai government will need to reduce the number and scope of policies to stimulate economy and keep the capital to help the people.  

 

Anusorn added that the uncertainty over the banning three hazardous pesticides/herbacides and the lack of preparation for its effect of economy would have a domino effect on agriculture and the economy, as it would be perceived that the government was failing to guarantee the health of its people.

 

It should be noted that the maker of glyphosate, US conglomerate Monsanto, has 11,200 health-related lawsuits against it.

• It should also be noted that the US wants Thailand to delay ban on glyphosate because the ban will disrupt Thailand’s import of soybean, wheat, coffee, apples, grapes and other agricultural produce, which is worth Bt51 billion annually, from the US and other trading partners.
• The US claims that its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that glyphosate poses no meaningful risk to human health when used as authorised.

Looks a bit like Boeing finding nothing wrong with the 737 Max and letting it fly on to produce another plane load of death.   Anything in the cause of earning Dollars will take priority !
