The decision to allow the trade center to continue operating has sparked criticism from Thai middlemen who import goods from China to be resold in Thailand. They fear that Chinese traders will use the shopping center to trade directly with Thai buyers

Assuming the business is properly registered, eliminating rent-seeking middlemen would seem to be a net gain for consumers...but a loss for the middlemen themselves, of course.

So what we are saying is the place will cut out the middlemen and make goods cheaper for consumers? I want cheaper Man Utd shirts and designer rip-offs!

Thailand needs to decide how much foreign investment and control and influence they want or need.  There is lots of money in the world that could swoop in.  China already has probably more in Thailand then most people realize.
