"He expressed concern about the indirect impact of these tariffs. As Canada and Mexico grapple with increased tariffs, they may redirect their exports to other nations rather than the US, causing disturbances in the supply chain and potentially triggering a commodities price war, said Mr Chaichan.

Thailand enjoys a trade surplus with the US totalling $35 billion, but faces a trade deficit of $45 billion with China, leading to an unfavourable trade balance, he said."

... A surplus of Chinese goods is being redirected to Southeast Asian nations because of the tariffs, creating price competition and possibly harming small businesses, while increasing Thailand's trade deficit with China. He said

 limited access to soft loans, 

outdated manufacturing, 

insufficient investment in R&D, 

a shortage of skilled labour in tech-driven industries, and 

lack of a unified industrial policy 

all hinder growth..

"sending [the 40 Uighurz] to a third country does not end there because it has huge consequences. When I said that no country is "determined to seriously accept", it means that there is no country that says that they

 will accept and 

are ready to help negotiate and lobby for China to be willing to accept Thailand to send to that third country 

or that they are ready to accept and if Thailand is retaliated by China, they are willing to lend a hand to help us. 

I believe that there are none. 

In my opinion, just saying they are ready to accept is not enough. Or in a sense, just saying is like not saying at all because it can't really be done"

The ultimate story of 'Kanya Charoensuphakul', a national artist on her 77th birthday

If Mother Earth were to be compared to a human woman, her body would be like a seriously ill patient. Her skin would be covered in wounds that could not be healed. It is time for all of us to embrace and care for her. Therefore, the teacher created this piece of art and named it “The Pain of Mother Earth .”

Chinese Imperialism!?!?

"“It is concerning because Mr. Liu Zhongyi’s  [Cinese anti - call center gang authority] visit is considered to be too frequent, which reflects that the Chinese government is beginning to 

guide, 

control, and 

play a stronger role

in both the contexts of Thailand and Burma. This can be seen from his ability to enter and exit both countries easily. Although there may have been coordination at the ministry or police unit level, it has led news followers to question whether Mr. Liu Zhongyi has played too much of a role.”"

Slow work but fast claims! The government is lying and claiming the results of the crackdown on the Myawaddy call center gang.

"The crackdown on the call center gang began to show results after the Chinese government sent "Liu Zhongyi" to deal with it himself. And as expected, the "Ung Ing" government immediately claimed credit for the work, citing a survey from a no-name poll that the public admired the serious and decisive action taken, even though before this they had passed the buck back and forth before cutting off the electricity and signal to the Burmese side"

 "Por: Chiranan Pitpreecha

First Rain

The first rains in May

Stream down, red

Steel rains, violent

Bodies-piercing, blood-flowing

Like water, flooding the streets

A rank stream of blood.

How many stars fell and crashed?

How many hearts are broken and crushed?

The wound of our native soil

When will it ever heal?

What devilish power

Dare kill the people?

Fighting blood lives on,

Death rousing people

The soul enduring,

Protecting the justice of the people.

The first rains seep into the ground and disappear into the earth

Leaving meaning and memory

Enriching the earth with their moisture

Nourishing the crops of democracy.

Chiranan Pitpreecha was born in Thailand in 1955. She was a well known figure in the 1970s student movement in Thailand. Following the violent suppression in 1976, she, along with thousands of Thai students, fled to the jungle and joined the Communist insurrection. Almost immediately after she returned from the jungle in 1981, under the protection of amnesty law, her poem, Cracked Pebble was selected "The best Poem of 1981" by P.E.N"

Twisted Vines

Originally composed by: Sunthorn Phu

Poetic Translation: Ken Mathis Lohatepanont

 Do not trust others, he said:                     

be afraid of the human mind.
Even the most twisted of vines                 
seems benign compared to the soul.
Two people do have pure intent:              
Your parents, who love with hearts whole.
But destiny’s yours to control                    
It’s your role to think on your own.
Beware of even the friendly                      
Cautiously think through all you’ve known.
Knowledge is not enough, alone:
The capstone is learning to survive

Tradução do tailandês via google translate

E ensina que não se deve confiar nos humanos.

 Tão profundo e indescritível,

 As videiras retorcidas e emaranhadas

 Não são tão tortas quanto um dos corações humanos.

 Este ser humano que ama

vive em dois lugares

 O amor parental é muitas vezes frutífero

 Um refúgio torna-se o próprio corpo.

 

Nascido como sujeito,

pense e depois fale.

 Se alguém te ama, você vai amá-lo.

Se alguém te odeia, você vai odiá-lo de volta.

 Pense bem, meu neto.

 Conhecer alguma coisa

não é tão bom quanto o saber.

 Saber como se proteger

melhor coisa a fazer.
