@Nous98 The Chinese are playing the West at their own game and seem to have become quite successful at it. Indeed, they may even be winning. The Japanese set the precedent but were made to pay the price for competing successfully with the West by being goaded into war by the Americans. Let's hope that this time around the West will be too weak and divided to prevent the rise of Asia.

@408Magenta Agree with what you say, but as to the question why it is quite easy to answer. Thailand has a monarchy and aristocracy that are naturally deeply conservative, reactionary and thus stand against everything that communism, socialism and, indeed, any revolutionary or radical movement stands for. Monarchy and communism are natural enemies, as are religion and communism (militantly atheist).

@dotamaze So? That is not a morally sound argument for colonialism.
