Thailand and China share four common aims concerning the situation of Ukraine after their consultation in Huangshan in Anhui, China, over the weekend, according to an informed source.

 

The source said that, during the discussion between Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the situation in Ukraine, they agreed on four common aims, namely to support the continued Russia-Ukraine peace talks and agreement, prevent large-scale humanitarian crises and provide humanitarian assistance in a timely manner, the curbing of the negative spill-over effects and sustaining global economic recovery and, finally, the safeguarding of hard-won peaceful development in the region and the world.

 

These common aims were first defined by President Xi Jinping, during his summit with EU leaders last week.

No splinters on a bamboo fence.

It's worse than that, Thailand hides behind the fence.

Perhaps they are 'straddling' the fence this time around.

I count, "providing timely humanitarian aid" as something ...?

In not condemning Putin's unprovoked and undeclared invasion of Ukraine both Thailand and China are complicit in the murder of thousands and displacement of millions of innocent people and $billions of damage. Hang your heads in shame.

 

Thailand, China share some common aims on Ukraine
lets not it’s down the barrel of a gun maybe the unknown source got it wrong.

Do what, exactly? Supporting peace talks is the only sensible option, along with humanitarian aid. At the end of all this--and it is impossible to foresee what outcome--Ukraine may well need a UN peacekeeping force. That can be perceived as much different than NATO.

It's very sad to see what's happening in Ukraine, and any other war zone. War is hell, and it's sickening to see how the media and Hollywood glorifies it.

 

That said, Ukraine really has nothing to do with Thailand. I don't blame the Thais for not engaging in direct action, or taking sides in ways that go beyond concern and calls for talks that lead to an end to the fighting.

Sounds like one of those beauty pageants where every chick answers "world peace" when asked what they hope for.

But what were Thailand's views??

 

I read that the views were espoused by Xi to EU leaders....so they are China's stated views. Nothing to do with Thailand.

 

So what humanitarian assistance is being given by Thailand and China? 

I wonder if the Thai guy took it up without any lube? 

Thailand's policies & media coverage of the Russia Ukraine war mirrors Chinas. Surprise. what surprise?!

 

Press releases about buying F35's when the US had not offered them for sale. Is best understood under this 'harmonization' of relations between China and Thailand.

Only the Chinese are most definitely not sitting on fence but rather surreptitiously supporting Russia whilst pretending to support a rules based global order.

You are of course correct, but they have to say what is expected, and here, you can have these few kilos of surplus rice nobody else wants. Such is the state of the world...

Both Thailand and China have no respect for human rights .so the murdering of civilians in a war isn't a big step forward for them

If it is secret how the Chinese are supporting Russia in the invasion of Ukraine how are you able to know ?

Protecting takeovers by the Communist Chinese?????

On the surface, we will see that doing nothing is bad .
But if we look deeper, we will find that doing nothing is better than supplying kerosene to burn the house down.
It's obvious that the US started the fire n is sustaining it to weaken the economic n military might of Russia which it considers to be a systemic rival.
The bad thing is that it's using Ukranians as a pawn n people are dying everyday n  the whole world is made to pay more for everything due to it's selfish geopolitical action.
Ukraine was already not a rich country to begin with n this devastation will likely require 30 years of rebuilding .
You bet the US n the West will not be the ones paying for the bulk of it !!

When you are fighting a rival that you mathematically cannot win, it makes sense to talk peace asap to reduce the loss of lives n economic damage.
As it stands, the US has the most to gain as it could end up not only weakening a systemic rival but making money from arms n many things else.
UK has nothing much to loss as it has it's  own North Sea Oil .
It will likely be the European countries who will succumb first as the EU politicians will be voted out of office if they cannot bring down inflation n the euro will devalue if they are forced to buy gas n other russian imports  with rubles.

Making use of people's country as a venue to fight a war to weaken a rival is obviously unethical.
It becomes immoral when you are using that country's citizens as human pawns to fight too ..

It is only obvious that America started this particular fire if you are one of those who regards the USA as, if I might coin a phrase, "the great Satan".

 

It rather reminds me of an American chap who joined a discussion I was having with a couple of friends. The Ukraine war, he announced was all the work of the CIA, and the NAZIS and the Jews we are also  responsible! The Jews apparently have always been closely allied with Nazism!

At that point he became decidedly swivel eyed, so we changed the subject...
