The Devil wears Prada here.......

I would hope that the Thais are smarter at the egg distribution......however, the Chinese basket is attractive to some lesser people

The MOU will allow each country to accomplish intellectual property infringement on each other sooner.

Lets hope that Thailand doesn't invent something, the Chinese will steal it , like they tried to do with Japanese techknowledge for their H/S train , ( first time out of Japan) they actually tried to take Japan to court for breach of copyright and tried to patient it as their own.

I think that largely the Thais are safe.

Invent something? Can they patent coups and lese majeste law?

So, in the future every Chinese Professor will have 3 Thai assistants communicating with them in a mix of Thailish and Thaidarin.
