Chinese millionaires in private jet will be first tourists allowed in under STV

[Narratio]

I want somebody to explain to me how a Communist country like China can possibly have millionaires... oh yeah, and keep a straight face while explaining it. When that's done, I need them to do the same thing for Thai millionaires who got their money while working on low wage civilian government or military jobs. I'll provide popcorn.

Well that's pretty simple. Communism as per Marx's ideas is an ideal, a theory. It's practical implementation is an autocratic oligarchy that is CCP. Good cadres get rich.

Pretty simple really.  Since economic reforms in the late 70's China allowed private enterprise and is now considered a mixed socialist market economy with a thriving and open investment culture and free enterprise.  

There, I did it, and I kept a straight face.

They are all cousins. Let's also not forget the quiet but sinister role Thailand played in the spread by allowing Chinese from Wuhan to transit through Thailand to many other parts of the world even as other countries were banning flights from China. 

......quiet but sinister role......

Wow.  

No doubt Fex Bluse had his finger on the global medical pulse back in those early days before the world knew what was about to hit it.

Fex Bluse for President!

Disgusting, some secret deals obviously being done here between Thai officials and these Chinese wealthy. Land and property prices are now easy pickings for this crowd. Not only have they unleashed this devastating virus they are now beginning to cash in on the suffering of those who have fallen victim to their virus, while the Thai officials sit back and take their cut.

     Last week I recall an article that Australian police searched one of these Chinese luxury jets, they arrested a cousin of President Xi, on some form of arrest warrant, and found other items of interest, that are still being investigated.

     Can't imagine Thai police being so diligent. I believe money laundering was involved.

who are cousins? china now has expanded in manchuria, tibet, east turkistan, mongolia, all tbese countries have distinct cultures from han china, china centuries before was tiny, many of the people on these lands have much darker skin, cultures and languages and religion from the vedic cultures, the last 150 years had seen the chinese master race move into power in the top and middle classes, and the darker skin locals are treated like slaves

Didn't I read that these visas were for a minimum stay of 3 months?  How is that going to be enforced?

Seven samur... no that were the ones who occupied China. I guess these will fly in the air and throw daggers.
