Thailand’s Royals, Xi Jinping, China & the Fake Thai Leftists Who Oppose Them

Genuine far-left activists are perhaps the most difficult group to reach in regards to the political crisis in Thailand. Superficial ideological cues are used in place where analysis, money and contact tracing, and a thorough, objective view at opposition objectives should be.

Thailand’s royal family has cultivated close ties with China as has the current Thai government and military against whom US-based protesters are protesting.

Scratching just beneath the surface reveals the truth and serves as a warning to the left against confusing US-backed oppositions camouflaged as leftists with actual leftists.
