Snatching Thai jobs? The Chinese Embassy responded that Chinese businessmen and tour guides are at the Thai Economic Business Store | China | Thailand
Q: Recently, there has been news on the Thai internet that Chinese businessmen and tour guides are doing business in Thailand and stealing Thai jobs. Many Thai netizens are demanding that the Thai government strictly investigate and ban illegal Chinese shops. What is the attitude of the embassy?
Answer: China and Thailand are friendly and have close economic and trade relations. China is Thailand's main export market, as well as a major source of foreign investment and tourists. The trade and investment cooperation and personnel exchanges between the two countries are mutually beneficial, which is conducive to the development of each country and the well-being of its people.
We have noticed recent comments on the Thai internet. We believe that individual issues that occur among individual Chinese citizens should be viewed with an objective and rational attitude, and individual phenomena should not be compared to the entire Chinese citizen and enterprise in Thailand.
It is worth noting that some external forces with ulterior motives have been using their online navy to hype up related issues, smear China, sow discord between the Chinese and Thai people, and undermine Sino Thai cooperation for a period of time. We firmly oppose this and will work with all sectors of Thailand to jointly maintain the good development momentum of bilateral relations.
