Crime Russian Man Assaulted and Robbed in Pattaya
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A 54-year-old Russian man was reportedly assaulted and robbed after entering a wooded area to relieve himself off a street, close to Wat Boonkanjanaram 7, in the Pattaya area. The incident was reported to police at approximately 00:30 on 9 June by the victim, Mr. Guvoy, who filed a complaint with Pol. Sub-Lt. Phuttharak Sonkamhan, an investigator at Pattaya City Police Station, Dongtan Curve sub-branch. According to the initial account provided by the victim’s wife, the attack occurred earlier on 8 June. Mr. Guvoy had entered the wooded area adjacent to the soi to urinate and was standing smoking a cigarette when he was ambushed by two assailants, believed to be a teenage male accompanied by a younger boy. One of the attackers struck him on the head with an unidentified object, causing him to lose consciousness. While the full extent of the stolen items remains unclear due to the prolonged period of several hours, the victim said he was unconscious, but confirmed that personal belongings were taken during the attack. Upon regaining consciousness, Mr. Guvoy sought help from friends and his wife, who then accompanied him to file the police report. Pol. Sub-Lt. Phuttharak has since reported the matter to his superior, Pol. Col. Anek Sarathongyu, superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station. A criminal investigation unit has been dispatched to the scene to gather evidence and track down the suspects as swiftly as possible. The investigation remains ongoing.

Trump Predicts Positive Outcome as US and China Resume Trade Talks in London
Trump is a terrible negotiator and picked the wrong fight. China is going to stick it to him in a big way. And though I have long despised the CCP, I am rooting for them now, as is much of the world. Mr. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the pillars of American power and innovation. His tariffs are endangering U.S. companies’ access to global markets and supply chains. He is slashing public research funding and gutting our universities, pushing talented researchers to consider leaving for other countries. He wants to roll back programs for technologies like clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing and is wiping out American soft power in large swaths of the globe. China’s trajectory couldn’t be more different. It already leads global production in multiple industries — steel, aluminum, shipbuilding, batteries, solar power, electric vehicles, wind turbines, drones, 5G equipment, consumer electronics, active pharmaceutical ingredients and bullet trains. It is projected to account for 45 percent — nearly half — of global manufacturing by 2030. Beijing is also laser-focused on winning the future: In March it announced a $138 billion national venture capital fund that will make long-term investments in cutting-edge technologies such as quantum computing and robotics, and increased its budget for public research and development. The Chinese electric carmaker BYD, which Mr. Trump’s political ally Elon Musk once laughed off as a joke, overtook Tesla last year in global sales, is building new factories around the world and in March reached a market value greater than that of Ford, GM and Volkswagen combined. China is charging ahead in drug discoveries, especially cancer treatments, and installed more industrial robots in 2023 than the rest of the world combined. In semiconductors, the vital commodity of this century and a longtime weak point for China, it is building a self-reliant supply chain led by recent breakthroughs by Huawei. Critically, Chinese strength across these and other overlapping technologies is creating a virtuous cycle in which advances in multiple interlocking sectors reinforce and elevate one another. Yet Mr. Trump remains fixated on tariffs. He doesn’t even seem to grasp the scale of the threat posed by China. Before the two countries’ announcement last Monday that they had agreed to slash trade tariffs, Mr. Trump dismissed concerns that his previous sky-high tariffs on Chinese goods would leave shelves empty in American stores. He said Americans could just get by with buying fewer dolls for their children — a characterization of China as a factory for toys and other cheap junk that is wildly out of date. The United States needs to realize that neither tariffs nor other trade pressure will get China to abandon the state-driven economic playbook that has worked so well for it and suddenly adopt industrial and trade policies that Americans consider fair. If anything, Beijing is doubling down on its state-led approach, bringing a Manhattan Project-style focus to achieving dominance in high-tech industries. Mr. Trump’s blinkered obsession with short-term Band-Aids like tariffs, while actively undermining what makes America strong, will only hasten the onset of a Chinese-dominated world.- 1
