Does it mean their vaccine is a huge success, and they have no more active cases? ???? Or someone thinks we are totally stupid and we can't see what may be going on. Sources: https://covid19.who.int/region/searo/country/th https://covid19.who.int/region/wpro/country/cn OMG someone who thinks the Chinese Regime are wonderful and truthful tell that to the 100s of thousands locked up in huge buildings being brainwashed anyone who thinks that only 3,000 people died during Covid have lost the plot they were burning bodied for months on end in every crematorium throughout China my Chinese neighbour says the regime lie like a cheap Chinese watch and he won’t be taking up the jab 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a perception based on very little factual information. I do not believe the Chinese vaccines are any worse or better than other brands and they did use tried and tested methods in their development – unlike Pfizer and others. Also, please don’t quote efficacy results as all the vaccines were tested under completely different circumstances and stages of the pandemic. I admit it would not be my first choice as it is not yet recognized internationally which makes travel more difficult, but if I could get a Sinovac jab tomorrow I would certainly take it. No but my next door neighbor is Chinese he managed to escape some 4 years ago I believe him when he tells me what is really going on .My GF is half Chinese and even she won’t have the jab. I lived and worked in the US for a number of years did I know everything that was going on absolutely not as I said I would rather believe my Chinese neighbour who was born and raised there than someone who lived and worked there for a few years 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I email the British Embassy and ask them when and where I will get mine? Yes, haven't the Chinese done well! I wouldn't bother to email the British Embassy though -- the UK has enough "virus" problems at home without looking after UK citizens in Thailand -- and probably they would start with their citizens in Spain and France where, no doubt, there are much greater numbers of ex-pats living! The Chinese have much greater resources than the UK -- did you know, it's a much bigger country than China? Did you also know it has a much larger GDP? I'm a little surprised that the Chinese are doing this -- in view of the numbers of coronavirus cases in the north and north-east of China -- but perhaps their capacity to manufacture so much sinovac enables them to cope with them also. Of course, it's all done for the "right" reasons and nothing is about political and economic encroachment/influence within the l.o.s.! And yes, they also did very well with coronavirus -- it now has spread "from China" to the rest of the world causing countless deaths (in India they aren't bothering to count the dead any more, probably also Brazil), debilitating illness, unemployment, and great financial disorder! "Surprisingly", the Chinese GDP is doing well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea from that link: "It seemed apparent after the meeting that Anutin was under pressure from the Chinese to implement a number of measures to help Chinese people, notes Thaivisa. Familiar expressions such as "we are brothers of the Chinese" were mentioned as the Chinese appeared to be using tourism as a bargaining chip." https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1208765-chinese-set-to-be-first-group-to-benefit-from-electronic-vaccine-passport-travel-bubble/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to die by suffocation if it can be avoided. Another thing the Chinese are good at is water supply. Previously lived in a South American Country. My water was supplied by the National Water Authority. Unfortunately, it was extracted from a lake which received sewage from two million people plus commercial waste water from tanneries, abbattoirs, farms and factories. For decades the Water Authority insisted the supply was safe. Finally, a cluster of cancer cases triggered an investigation. Thereafter, we were advised not to consume the water and bottles were delivered free of charge. Various South American water engineers were called in to upgrade the purification plant. They all admitted they couldn't make the water potable. Waterworks engineers from China were asked to help. They designed and built special purification equipment. The water now meets the required standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney42bb Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Well...... This should really say it all to The Thai Authorities. But they probably will still not get it..Same as why their profiteering 14 Day vaccine scheme does not work. The Nation they pander, and are beholden to...

Popular Post clonetom Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 From my own circles, I know that the Chinese were already informed by the Consulate General in Chiang Mai that this will take place about 3 weeks ago. At the same time I called the German Honorary Consulate to be told that they know nothing about foreigners vaccination plans and "it would be better to follow the Thai news". The German Embassy didn't even bother to pick up the phone for days and when they did, their reply was "to wait calmly while the Thai government will handle things". Say what you want, but if our embassies were half as active as the Chinese, we would have a much better standing here. Not only in regards to the vaccination... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
