sorry Junta but you are getting into bed with the wrong country when it comes to communication media networks and internet

 

PM Chan (O) Cha - you need to really give this a lot of thought before you take Thailand into the dark ages - it is 100% not the way to go, you should be looking west if you want to modernise the Network infrastructure here not north

He doesn't want to modernize the network infrastructure. He wants to modernize the censorship and spying capabilities that the Chinese use on their own citizens.

Sounds like one of those titles for the shortest book ever written.

Was there no "cooperation in mass communication" before this?

 

Why didn't they take the shortcut and invited a delegation from NK?

More memorandums of talk and no action.

The Center of Cooperation.  We bend over for everybody.

Maybe China and Thailand can share the same internet single gateway.

I find it hard to believe that the word cooperation is in the Chinese playbook. Domination I can understand. 

ROFL.   Ah, yeah, we seem to be having a tiny problem with this whole single internet gateway thing .... and maybe a few other things...   Could you maybe set that up for us?

 

Shouldn't the headline read: "Thailand, China discuss cooperation in mass surveillance"?

Photo caption.

 

Thai man on left:

 

"I'm still going to be able to see X-hamster and Youporn, right?"

 

Snoopers charter and better if we get the Chinese to pay ...Why won't they talk to their own internal providers AIS, TRUE, TOT ..Etc

This has a feel of Turkey (country) about it ...Crackdown time

Sorry, Smedly, but it doesn't work that way. You are either behind the junta 100% or its enemy. Their policies aren't a menu you get to pick and choose from...

the rules according to you ? right

 

I think you need to go preach your nonsense to someone else because you are playing well above your  station, I see things as I see them not how the likes of you tells me, now run along and play somewhere else this is an adult forum 

 

I have a name for you but as it would be breaking forum rules I'll leave you to guess

Yes, they had a cooperative mass debate, banged a few heads together, got on view on how each other did it and will take it back to the PM so he can try, himself being an expert on the issue in hand.

No, the rules according to them, hence the threats, 'Attitude Adjustments' and jailings, not to mention the single gateway and now this.

Feel free to call me any name(s) you wish. It's all good and I'm sure more than a few of the mods would agree with you...

That's how you would like to encourage folks to think. Folks can make up their own mind without your attempts to make rules.

 

Although you don't want to know about it (doesn't suit your agenda, and that of a few others), you might like to remember there's also a pragmatic view. You could call it the best of two undesirable scenarios.

Censored they are, but much of China has blazing internet and online commerce that is much better than the west. Taobao and Tmall blow Amazon and Ebay away. The ease they can do things from a single app is amazing. Banking, investing, taxis, movies, hotels, air tickets, and so on, all from one flawless app. 

 

Ten Cent (owner of WeChat) already bought the Thai site Sanook.com, so they are clearly moving into the Thai market, which will result in a total take over. But it will also result in better online products.

 

Thailand is better off having the Chinese run this place than the Thais.

We're about to get a censored internet like it or not. May as well have the experts build it. At least then it will work.
