Isaan sailor Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 When you hitch your economic wagon to the ChiComs, you’re in for a bumpy ride. The Baht remains uncomfortably high. The Mekong has lost precious volume. Your exporters project a contraction this year. Thousands of Wuhan tourists have just arrived. How can a small country expect to compete with China? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a small country expect to compete with China? Considering Wuhan was closed on Wednesday, how did Wuhan empty itself in to Thailand? Canoe? The high baht has nothing to do with China and everything to do with the dollar. The Mekong is low because of a drought, within China as well as Laos and Thailand. Any more horse apples to share with us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal Debt here is a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
