Thailand's government was aware of the social media battle between Thai and Chinese accounts and it urged Thai internet users to express themselves within reason, said deputy government spokeswoman Ratchada Thanadirek.

Who can smell a witch hunt coming soon???

A good point.

Perhaps the Thai government's idea of 'within reason' might be that users say that China doesn't push Taiwan 'reunification' too quickly, in order to give the island time to adjust to the idea?

Well obviously the witch hunt is directed at the NEW generation of Thais, Hongkong and Taiwan people and the rest youngsters who take their sides.......

A retard with a medal!

 

Funny fact: the only ones from China in Twitter are CCP trolls. Twitter is blocked in China. I'm rooting for Team Thailand on this one.

I’m surprised that nobody’s yet raised the easiest way of punishing China, which wouldn’t affect world trade or start a nuclear war, just cause them to lose huge face. Bring Taiwan back into the fold. Make them a full member of the U.N., a member of the WHO naturally, have a Taiwan team at the Olympics. If the Chinese Communist Party objected, I’m sure that Donald Trump would be only too delighted to tell them to go and **** themselves.

Tha one thing that China would not allow is to lose territory. It's also exactly the thing democratic countries should do, recognize Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Tibet as sovereign countries. 

 

That's the way you deal with a bully. Give them a bloody nose. CCP is due for a good smack in the face.

What's 'again'?

Were they in the UN or the Olympics? I have no idea.

Well, the Chinese had it coming for a long time. Human rights issues, censorship, pollution, the way they treat Tibet etc., etc...
 

Just to point out to what length they go, there’s a Chinese mixed martial artists who made it his goal to expose all the fake Chinese martial arts “masters”, you know, the ones who can make people fly away without even touching them, by challenging them to a fight. Naturally he defeated them all one by one. Then the Chinese government stepped in because they thought he’s damaging the Chinese reputation and tarnishes their martial arts. So they reduced his social level or whatever it’s called. In China everyone has a level and if it’s reduced enough you can’t even book a train ticket anymore, leave alone a hotel or a flight. So for his last fight, which he won within the first 20 seconds, he had to drive 36 hours to get there. There’s a video about him on YouTube. 
 

The irony is, those fake martial arts chi “masters” damage China’s reputation way more than he ever will because no one is buying that fake <deleted> anyway!

 

China is a bully and one of them days they’re gonna get it!

Been the UN member for 22 years. Then, in 1971 the USA agreed to kick Taiwan out of the UN.

 and down goes the tourism from China.... TAT to revise its estimates "again"

[LeamchabangLarry]

So following the hilarity and serious pwnage over the last 6 days, the chinatrolls just declared that 'Thais are our brethren' and it was the HK and Taiwanese people pretending to be Thais that they have been in a twitter war with.

 

LOL. trash losers

I think anger across the world is brewing very quickly - they have cost us all dearly and should pay for that

 

we handed them our technology - schooled and trained them and now they are using it against us, IMO there should be a full blown effort across the free world to blank them, Putin and the wee fat man will of course rally to support them - dangerous times ahead I think, Thailand will go were they can benefit the most financially and are becoming more like them by the day

If the West stopped aggressively pushing closer to Russia militarily, and followed the Original Promise when the Wall Came down, "NATO will not move One Inch Beyond Germany" (James Baker III, speaking on behalf or GHW Bush), Russia could have been a long-term ally of the West. 

 

I believe they still could be - or at least non-aligned with China - if the West would quit trying to coup the govt ("anti-Putin" party-leaders caught meeting together at the US Embassy a few years back, etc), to gain control of Russia's huge natural-resource base.

 

Give Russia no other option, and they have no choice but to work with with any nations which oppose those trying to destroy their autonomy - China, Iran, etc.

Name one virus that was created in a lab.

 

Name one virus that was successfully made infectious to humans when before it was only passed between animals such as bats.

There were many published papers on doing exactly this with viruses - aka "gain of function" research.  One justification was to create vaccine carriers.  Another was just to understand the processes that allow virus mutations lead to zoological transfer (from one species to another).

This research was banned in the USA after a particularly disturbing paper, explaining how some scientists had taken H5N1 (aka "bird flu" - mortality rate 60%) and modified it + passed it through ferrets (which share a key-receptor with humans) to become person-to-person transmissible in humans. 

Other published research involved similar with "bat" corona viruses, with 2 of the scientists whose work on this (published) had to stop work in the USA (due to the ban) - later continuing it at the Wuhan lab.

Thai immigration must recognize Taiwan as an independent country. They classify Hong Kong as "China Hong Kong" (Line 271), but Taiwan is just Taiwanese (line 98).

Maybe something to share on the Twitter feed.

The most interesting side effect about all of this is that it has had a unifying effect on the world against the chinese government.  HK, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, even some Iranian people (not government) have joined in trashing the role of China in a lot of wrongdoings and misinformation in the world.

 

It's even brought together in agreement of posters here on Thaivisa that typically don't agree with each other.

 

This is a good thing here Thailand has done for the world.  I am very proud of the hilarious netizens here

Joshua Wong is due a clip round the ear. He's already been given the bum's rush from Thailand.

 

 

 

This explains a lot, and no, Joshua Wong is not due a clip around the ear because we have something called freedom of speech in this world. Do you have a problem with freedom of speech?

Unfortunately - that train has left the station a few years ago, the Russians know too well that the US is not agreement capable, as cited in your example with Nato, and recently with the JCPOA, and countless others.

I would rather have the enquiring minds and bravery of Joshua Wong and his like than the communist juggernaut of conformity that is China.

I wholeheartedly agree. Free speech, whether you agree with it or not, completely outweighs inhumane regimes like the CCP.

This may be the truth but the notion of free speech and the want to rise to it, is still important and must be fought for tooth and nail!
