heybruce Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 "Shi said Thai police refused to accept her report of her husband’s disappearance, asking her to contact the Chinese embassy." So, does anyone think Thailand was complicit in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Lets hope Thailand has not gone back to the Thaksin days of politics where dozens of Human Rights activists had gone "missing" Prayut is surely better than that.

Minnie the Minx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The story doing the rounds of the bookseller who fled to Thailand and turned up in mainland China, problem is, the Thais say he had no exit stamp on his passport so how did he leave Thailand? This is no different, he will turn up back in the mainland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thailand is China's lap dog. It is not possible for Chinese agents to go to Thailand, illegally pick up a man, and escort him (against his will) out of Thailand - without Thai officials being complicit. What Thailand allowed is kidnapping and it's illegal in nearly every country. If China asked Thailand to lick its shoes, Thailand would grin and say, "How shiny do you want them licked, oh great money maker?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howitzer Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Every country in the world has been willing to ignore China's renege on the agreement with the UK on Hong Kong, extra territorial claims, the invasion of Tibet and Taiwan's democratic freedom in exchange for trade with China. Yes every country has ignored what China has done to HK. It has taken a while but eventually the Red jack boot came down on their neck. The UK knew in time this would happen but sold the people out anyways. They kiss each others you know what for trade. Now China is trying to threaten Taiwan in the same way but the young people there are to smart. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. I am amazed that China does not try and go back in time and claim all the lands conquered by Genghis Khan. They have no shame only territorial greed. Oh please any country claims territory what about russia over crimea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he was abducted. What else could have reasonably happened? China is forever extending its iron fist to stifle dissent. They sent undercover tough guys over, found the guy, and forcefully took him back to China. In a more civilized country, border guards or other officials would interfere/intervene to protect a person from being kidnapped. In Thailand, it's a mai pen rai because, Buddha forbid, we never ever want to do or say anything which may cause a Chinese official to lose face. I just read a narrative, true story, about a BBC reporter who was in Beijing, blocks for Tianamen Square, when the shit hit the fan, years ago. She said many trucks filled with Chinese soldiers (trucked in from far away, so they would have no compassion for locals) - the soldiers were standing in rows in the back of the trucks, picking off anybody (locals, kids, students) with their automatic weapons. The politburo are a mean bunch of cold-blooded bastards. They told the soldiers they were going to Beijing to battle insurgents. Even houses and apartments were sprayed with bullets, killing and maiming many ordinary people inside. Within minutes, the hospitals were filled to overflowing. That couldn't have happened in Europe or N.America. China is run by some mean-spirited paranoid old men with freon for blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a person fleeing Chinese goons who was concerned the Thai government might cooperate with China try to leave the country through a laxly run border crossing into a backwards third world country? I don't know, maybe he thought he was more likely to be picked up if he remained on Thailand or tried to leave using an international airport.

Sutty Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Western countries are accepting millions of asylum seekers, and yet refused this Seems no poster asked this question except me... Probably because as I understand it you have to be in a country to claim political asylum, ergo trying to claim political asylum in the west whilst in Thailand is a no go, short of a western goverment giving him permission to enter and stay at there respective embassy here, which I doubt very much would happen.

I need not become aware as half no three quaters of what you read is from these do Gooders who will write anything to brain wash people into feeling sorry for them or fund them.

Your rational makes absolutely no sense! I know you like slagging off Thailand and this government but in this instance there is NO evidence that he went "missing" in Thailand. Actually it's much more likely he was picked up at the Laos border. I am no expert on fleeing a country without being noticed, are you? Perhaps this missing Chinese rights activist is a novice as well. From my experience with border crossings the land borders with poor nations tend to be the most laxly operated and the best bet for not being flagged in some computer. If I thought Chinese spooks were after me and the Thai government was assisting them I'd head for a land border, as this man did. I would definitely avoid international airports. Did you read the full article? It states: "Li travelled this year to Thailand, a long-time hub for Chinese fugitives trying to make it to the west, where he boarded a train to the north-eastern border to enter Laos. His wife has since been unable to reach him. “He got on a train from Bangkok to Nong Khai at 8.36pm on 10 January. We had been in touch those days. The next day, around 7.40am, we lost contact,” Shi said. Li Xin has been missing for 10 days after leaving Thailand for Laos with the hope of returning to Thailand to apply for political asylum, said his wife, Shi Sanmei." Perhaps he had not learned of recent disappearances of Chinese from Thailand. He is from a country as enthusiastic about censorship as Thailand, after all. It appears he was going to Laos for visa reasons in order to extend his stay in Thailand while attempting to apply for political asylum in the west. You and a few others seem desperate to find a reason to believe the junta is not assisting China in violations of law and human rights. You're not convincing too many people. This case looks as suspicious as the Hong Kong bookseller who disappeared from Thailand and appeared days later on Chinese television confessing to past crimes. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/887390-hong-kong-bookseller-who-disappeared-from-thailand-held-in-china/?p=10321914&hl=%2Bchinese+%2Bbook+%2Bmissing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
