The Chinese embassy implores against defaming Chinese firms following the collapse of an unfinished State Audit building during last week’s earthquake in Bangkok.

 

The contractor, ITD-CREC, is a joint venture between Italian-Thai Development Plc and China’s Railway Number 10 Engineering Group, with the latter holding a 49% stake. The embassy highlights the substantial benefits of Sino-Thai infrastructure collaboration.

 

The calamity spurred criticism of Chinese companies involved, especially after the incident claimed lives. The incident prompted a swift investigation by the Thai government to uncover the causes.

 

 

 

The embassy assured the venture adhered to strict legal and engineering standards and is cooperating fully to ensure the investigation’s fairness and accuracy.

 

Chinese companies have significantly bolstered Thailand's economy by generating employment and investing heavily in local industries.

 

While advocating for legal accountability in corporate practices, the embassy opposes the unjust vilification of Chinese firms. The Chinese embassy commits to fostering beneficial relations and cooperation to advance prosperity for Thailand and China.

So why did the Chinese officials try to steal the construction documents just after the collapse? and delete all details of the construction from it's website. More Chinese tofu dreg rubbish.

'investing heavily in local industries' by fraudulent transactions, avoiding taxes, illegal employees and lots of brown envelopes ad infinitum.

 

The Revenue Department has filed a criminal complaint against Xin Ke Yuan Steel Co, which supplied steel for the construction of the State Audit Office (SAO) building before its collapse, for fabricating more than 7,000 invoices worth over 200 million baht.

"Made in China" still has the same negative connotation it had 20/30 years ago. 

Defending the  reputation of Chineese in Thailand is a lost cause

If the Chinese firms sold substandard, faulty steel, then they should be held criminally responsible.

Sorry CCP, you don't get to censor news and social media like you do in China.

I implore the Chinese Embassy to condemn the poor workmanship and that people and documents disappeared as quickly as the building came down.

Of course they do! As always! Can't be seen losing face, now can they?! 

 

Didn't expect anything else. When the investigation then inevitably comes to the conclusion that they skimped out and it's their fault, they're gonna cry bias and defamity

Just wondering, will the new submarine be using the same quality steel

Thats assuming it ever gets built

Of course China has to defend its companies ... especially when those companies are State Owned Enterprises which are owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

 

The Chinese Communist Party has a long history of "defending" its crimes, eg The Great Leap Forward, The Cultural Revolution, The Beijing Massacre, ......

Yeah but they are the masters here. The message basically tells Thai authorities to shut their mouths or else.

yes,.    only 1 pile of devastating rubble to clean up

I didn't know this. 

 

 

At a time when China is expanding its soft power programme to increase its global influence, the wise thing for Emperor Xi to do would be to extend apologies and promise to improve the standards of Chinese companies operating overseas.

 

The reported response above only helps explain why China's reputation is declining globally and anti-China sentiments are expanding.
