Thai and China agree to carry on a long-standing friendship, expanding bilateral cooperation and planning for the future development of relations.

 

Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O’Cha said during an official meeting with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday, July 5th, that Thailand attaches great importance to the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative. He also praises China’s great achievements in eliminating extreme poverty.

 

Thailand expected to learn from China’s development experience, understand the trends of the era, seize the historical opportunity, and push Thai-Chinese cooperation forward in all aspects.

 

Wang Yi stated that China and Thailand have developed strong and stable relations, which benefit from strategic guidance from the leaders of the two countries, a long-lasting friendship that is close like a family, and a strong political trust between the two countries.

It must be a hard job to be on everyone's side, but hey, somebody's got to do it.

[RocketDog]

Traditional friendship = exploitation followed by subjugation. Always has for China and always will.

 

Very slowly the world is seeing this.

Yes, thanks for the biolab virus that wrecked the world for 2+ years.

[Laughing Gravy]

Thailand should be very careful, as the Chinese do not do anything for nothing. It will come at a steep price.

Thanks China...you're awesome.

China has taken over Thailand and the Thais don't even know it.

The Chinese leader is a monster that comes in a disguise of a friendly teddybear. But he has a plan, of that I am sure. Asians have been known to plan long term in comparison to the Western world where the US doctrine of fast profit / benefit is in place.

So a plan like Putins? To reestablish the Mongolian Empire?

It surely stems from the history. Not unlike Putins idea to collect areas on earth to form a big empire "which belongs together". Thinks what they did with Tibet. Furhtermore the teddybear believes that he should show the world that his ideology is best for humankind compared to democracy. This does not include freedom of expression. He knows that too well but thinks his way is a better way (for the stupid masses ????). Remember as well Mao ? "Religion is poison". If you equate "religion" with the attempt to benefit people in such a way that they are happy then this says it all.

 

It is a very complicated matter since "our" ways are as well far from being perfect so you will always find something to point at to say "This is no good".

 

If he wants to reestablish the Mongolian Empire ? If he could he would and even beyond I think. At least he might be dreaming about it.

A few of y'all need to unplug from MSM.

 

Thailand & China together ... how would that ever be a bad thing.

... Make enemies with the worlds #1 manufacturing country ????

... Top tech and producer of alternative energy components for home

and vehicles.  Compare prices here for solar & EVs to your home country.

... Top supplier of raw materials so Taiwan can make all those components, chips that keep the world functioning.

 

Without China the cost of everything would be way beyond what you are all crying about now.

Thailand is a small country and heavily depend on trade and FDI and need to have friendly reletionship and bilateral cooperation with all major economic superpower.

I wonder if they got around to discussing the Covid 19 pandemic, where it originated and the devastating cost and inconvenience inflicted on the globe!

I have no problem with China being a top manufacturer and a top polluter - of their own country. I do have a problem with them infiltrating foreign countries to steal trade - and other - secrets and using finance leveraged extortion to strong arm their foreign partners.
 

I’ve lived and worked in China and have seen firsthand the inner workings of the CCP and it is no joke. You can even go on the FBI’s website and peruse hundreds of open ‘espionage’ cases against CCP operatives, if you’d like to see just the ‘tip of the iceberg’.

What other country (G20) doesn't use the same type of tactics.  

How many regime changes has US, UK, NATO sponsored.

 

What western country doesn't export their trash and pollution elsewhere.

 

Casting stones in glass houses comes to mind.

I’d prefer to use the term ‘two wrongs…’

 

Add to this: China sprung covid on the world, Uyghur persecution, rampant air and water pollution - along with various other human rights atrocities and I believe I’m entitled to ‘cast all the stones’ I want.

Do you buy their products, or products with their parts in them ?

Almost impossible not to.

 

Then you seem to support everything you oppose about them.

Covid originated in China - but they locked down the country. It was sprung on the world by the idiotic policies of WHO and, not last, a certain US president. The persecution of minorities in China is appalling, I agree, still it pales to what countries such as USA, Canada, Australia did to the native populations. Human rights again I agree, but just look around the world, both far and near, and you'll find similar - not that I want to excuse the chinese.

 

In the end, if you hate China as a principle, it's your prerogative - though a bit puzzling that you accepted to live there to earn your living. Personally, I think that Thailand is doing the right thing, trying to please both superpowers with the knowledge that it cannot afford to openly oppose either one.

Aw, that is soooo heart-warming ????

 

So... for how long exactly has this magnificent friendship been standing?

 

After all, up until the early 1950s Chinese immigrants were regarded by the nationalist Thai governments as little more than second-class human beings -- and treated as such. Then the Korean War tagged along, which saw considerable Thai contingents fight the People's Army to the teeth in the rugged, cold northern parts of the country. And subsequently, from the Vietnam War up until the mid-1980s Thailand fought its very own communist insurgency, repeatedly accusing China of aiding and supporting the rebels.

 

Oh yes, what a long-standing friendship through thick and thin indeed.

Pffft….China closed down, all right. They literally, locked people in their homes so they couldn’t leave to even buy groceries - how civilized. They also tried to cover it up, as opposed to allowing other countries like the US to react. The US was one of the first countries - if not the first - to block flights from China early on and it’s president was accused of being xenophobic for doing so. Get your ‘facts’ in order. 

 

And let’s not try to compare the US and Canada 200 years ago to today’s China.

Why would Xi want to bring back the not Chinese Mongolian Empire that viciously controlled China?

Simply rhetoric. It is about building a larger and larger sphere of influence. Call that Mongolian Empire or not - same principle
