Looks like India has given something very useful that will be really helpful to the sick, the Chinese not so much!!!

 

Good to see the CCP still get top billing in the press release though can't be seen to upset the overlords...

Nice of them, but not a big deal...

I would have thought that the Indian Government would need to hang onto every piece of medical kit that it could russle up. A couple of months ago India couldn't treat its own people due to lack of equipment. I hope that their generosity ( thank you India) is repaid if they get another round of infections.

 

As for China, thanks for Covid 19, the world appreciates your donation but next time kept it at home will you.

 

Thailand has received a lot of donations recently, clearly highlighting that the government financial coffers lack the wealth and prosperity that Thailand has spent recent years trying to convince the world that it has.  Thailand you are charity basket case but your begging skills are a key strength.

All of this could have come out of mr A's pocket easely with the wealth he has . These donations of vaccines and whatever make Thailand look like a 3rd world country but actually it isn't ,there is enough money here but devided in a very wrong way because of the corruption and stupidity in wich this country is run . It's only a 3rd world country because of the way it's run , not because lack of wealth . 

This is just the appetiser  for China and India keeping the goodwill with the  Thai government 

 Making way for the Tourists of both countries getting priority on coming to Thailand as welcome guests in the future
