The United States Behind the Political Turmoil in Thailand

On February 21, 2020, the Constitutional Court of Thailand (CCT) announced the dissolution of the Future Forward Party (FFP) and banned the party leader Thanathorn and 16 executives from politics because the party received an “illegal donation” used as the illegal political capital contribution for the 2019 general election, which violated the election law of Thailand. On August 10, 2020, a democratic rally participated primarily by students at Thammasat University in Bangkok proclaimed the Thammasat Manifesto, calling for the reform of the ten declarations of the Monarchy and the 2017 military-backed Constitution along with statement made on Facebook and other prevailing social media. On October 21, demonstrators held a large-scale protest rally in Bangkok. The Thai Prime Minister revoked the emergency measures imposed on Bangkok on October 22, but the anti-government protests did not hold back. Since the human rights lawyer and political activist Arnon Nampa has made public appeal on the reforms of the Monarchy in August 2020, the number and determination of protesters have been showing non-receding trends. Many Thai youth demanding for the reform of the Thai monarchy attempt to call for transformation outside the parliamentary system. Although both the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok and the Associated Press declared that they had nothing to do with the turmoil, they stated that they "do not oppose the turmoil." The U.S. Embassy in Thailand made a special announcement on September 11, 2020 to “refute” this remark, claiming that the U.S. government had no connection with the recent protests in Thailand. However, signs have shown from various aspects that the United States is deeply involved in the political turmoil in Thailand. Michael George DeSombre is the U.S. ambassador to Thailand, who has been active in Hong Kong for many years, and the American citizen Brian Patrick Kern, "thug strategist" in Hong Kong riots and the former Amnesty International member, appeared in Bangkok. They are the henchmen of the United States orchestrated to reinforce the capability of organized unrest. The National Endowment for Democracy funded the Thai Union for Civil Liberty, online media platforms of major social, economic and political issues, the Foundation for Community Educational Media (FCEM), the Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) and other human rights and democracy related non-governmental organizations in 2019. The Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs stated in the article "Relations between the United States and Thailand" (published on the homepage of the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok) on July 5, 2020: "Over 30 exchange programs of NGOs in Thailand are funded by the U.S. government, connecting Thai youth, students, educators, artists, athletes and emerging leaders with their counterparts in the United States and the ASEAN regions, who have participated in everything about strategic focuses from citizen participation to economic sustainability.

GAH shall made a pre-payment of not more than 30% of the order amount upon confirmation of each batch order with the remainder to be paid within thirty days after delivery.It is also agreed that RFG and TTT shall guarantee the quantity of goods shipped from Thailand and exercise strict quality control based on the requirement of the logistics partner as well as during transportation and warehousing.Led by the Group's CEO, Mr. Cheng Meng, an industry veteran in the durian industry, the Group has entered into various agreements to sell over 1,480 containers of fresh durians from Thailand to major Chinese fruit importers since December 2020. The total contract value of these agreements is estimated at approximately RMB 962.0 million as announced on 13 February 2021.Together with these latest two purchase contracts, the Group has entered into purchase agreements to collectively purchase 870 containers of fresh durians from various sources in Thailand to fulfil the sales orders. Shipments of the fresh durians have already started since 20 February 2021 and will continue throughout 2021.In 2019, Thailand exported US$1.46 billion worth of durians to overseas markets, a rise of 54.6% from the previous year, with China, Hong Kong and ASEAN nations accounting for 98% of export volume.(1)According to data from China Customs, China's imports of fresh and frozen durians in the first half of 2020 reached US$1.62 billion, corresponding to a 73.5% year-on-year increase and almost reaching the US$1.82 billion imported during the whole of 2019.

Virus issues bubbling up in Bangkok

The Yonex Thailand Open kicked off yesterday in Bangkok with a schedule of 38 first-round matches, but even as players battled it out on court after a long Covid-enforced hiatus, their eyes were focused on one score instead. That was the number of shuttlers who tested positive for Covid-19 at the first tournament of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour's Asian leg this year. Midway through the opening day, four players had tested positive: former world No. 1 Saina Nehwal and her Indian teammate H.S. Prannoy, Germany's Jones Ralfy Jansen and Egypt's Adham Hatem Elgamal. Their matches, along with that of Nehwal's husband Parupalli Kashyap - who was quarantined in his hotel room - were initially declared walkovers, as the badminton bubble in Bangkok threatened to burst. But Nehwal, Prannoy and Jansen, who had all contracted Covid-19 late last year, were allowed back into the tournament after returning positive antibody blood tests. Elgamal was forced to withdraw as he tested positive but had no antibodies for the virus. Despite a partial lockdown in the Thai capital this month following a resurgence of the pandemic, the Yonex Thailand Open is the first of three consecutive tournaments played in strict bio-secure conditions and behind closed doors, culminating in the World Tour Finals from Jan 27. Over 200 players from 22 countries are competing in the Yonex Thailand Open, including Singaporean shuttlers Loh Kean Yew, Yeo Jia Min, Crystal Wong and Jin Yujia. Ahead of the tournament, Thailand badminton chief Patama Leeswadtrakul had given the assurance that it would be the "safest in the world". This was after the Chinese team had pulled out due to travel restrictions. Japan also followed suit by withdrawing its team after world No. 1 Kento Momota tested positive. According to the tournament protocol, players were required to undergo two Covid-19 tests each week during their 14-day quarantine in the lead-up to the competition. The Indian team have been categorised as high-risk by Thai health authorities and all players and staff are quarantining in their hotel rooms. India's world No. 14 Kidambi Srikanth described tests conducted at the event as "unacceptable" after he was left bleeding from his nose. "We take care of ourselves for the match, not to come and shed blood for THIS," he tweeted with an image of blood dripping down his face following a swab test. "I gave four tests after I have arrived and I can't say any of them have been pleasant. Unacceptable." Singaporean's top male player Loh, 23, admitted to The Straits Times about feeling unsettled by the developments, but said that he can only press on while taking the necessary precautions. "Anyone would definitely be concerned about the situation," said the world No. 38. "It has been the most unusual build-up routine in my career. We are required to stay in our hotel rooms at all times except for training at the court and fitness centre. We get tested once every few days and it is important for each of us do our part to stay safe." FEEL THE DRAUGHT I was slower at adjusting to the wind conditions... months of not competing dulled my senses quite a bit. NATIONAL SHUTTLER LOH KEAN YEW Yesterday, Loh narrowly lost to Indonesia's world No. 7 and Asian Games champion Jonatan Christie 13-21, 21-10, 21-16 after a gruelling 65-minute match. He did not show much ring rust initially as he reeled off seven straight points to take the first set, but he was undone by his unforced errors. He said: "I was slower at adjusting to the wind conditions... months of not competing dulled my senses quite a bit. Jonatan played a great game - he was much more consistent than I was. "It was a good match and I would rate myself seven out of 10. I still have a lot to work on, especially my mental aspect. At the highest level, it is all about the mental game." In the women's doubles, Wong and Jin also ran Thailand's Laksika Kanlaha and Atitaya Povanon close before losing 12-21, 21-15, 21-18. Singapore's top female shuttler Yeo Jia Min will face Thailand's world No. 5 Ratchanok Intanon in the first round today.  • Additional reporting from Reuters

Shuttling to the unknown

A strange feeling settled in the Singapore shuttlers as they set foot in Changi Airport's unusually empty departure hall yesterday for the first time in over 10 months. While they were anticipating their trip to Bangkok for the Jan 12-17 Yonex Thailand Open and Jan 19-24 Toyota Thailand Open - their first competitive action after a Covid-hit season last year - there was also apprehension at the uncertain times that lay ahead. Even before the Thai capital welcomed the sport's top players, the tournaments were hit by withdrawals, with the Japanese team pulling out after world No. 1 Kento Momota tested positive for the coronavirus on Sunday. The Chinese contingent, which includes Olympic champion Chen Long and women's world No. 2 Chen Yufei, are also not travelling to Bangkok due to China's virus regulations. Badminton Association of Malaysia coaching director Wong Choong Hann tested positive for Covid-19 and is in self-isolation, but Malaysia's shuttlers will compete in the two events. National shuttler Yeo Jia Min, the world No. 26, said: "I feel very excited (to compete again). At the same time, there'll be quite a lot of things that may be different and there are a lot of things to be careful about. "Before the last few days, I didn't have many concerns about going to Bangkok, but after hearing that athletes are getting infected, I'll be very careful when I go there." The 21-year-old is among Singapore's contingent of five, which comprises men's singles player Loh Kean Yew, women's doubles pair Crystal Wong and Jin Yujia, and singles coach Kelvin Ho. Upon arrival in Bangkok, they are required to undergo a 14-day quarantine and will be allowed to train at specific time slots once they test negative for Covid-19. During the tournaments, they do not plan to leave their hotel, the Novotel Bangkok Impact, except to travel to the tournament venue at Impact Arena, which is a five-minute drive away. Both competitions, which are not Olympic qualifying tournaments, will be held behind closed doors. While the Singapore Badminton Association has tried to simulate a competition environment by holding an internal tournament last month, the players expect to have to shake off some rust. Jin, 23, whose last competition was the Badminton Asia Team Championships last February, said: "I feel excited to compete again, but at the same time, because we haven't competed in almost a year, we've kind of lost (the feeling) of standing in such a big hall and such a high level of competition." FINDING OUR FEET Because we haven't competed in almost a year, we've kind of lost (the feeling) of standing in such a big hall and such a high level of competition. JIN YUJIA,  Singapore shuttler, on the challenges of returning to action. Crystal Wong, 21, added: "I'm looking forward to seeing where we stand against other top opponents because during these few months, we've been training quite hard so hopefully we can see improvements in our game play." The pair will face Thailand's Laksika Kanlaha and Atitaya Povanon in the Yonex Thailand Open, before taking on Denmark's Alexandra Boje and Mette Poulsen in the next tournament. Yeo will face world No. 5 Ratchanok Intanon, the 2013 world champion whom the Singaporean has not beaten in two outings, in her opener next week, before taking on Indonesian and world No. 35 Ruselli Hartawan in the first round of the following tournament. Teammate Loh, the world No. 38, is also in for a tough first match against Indonesia's world No. 7 Jonatan Christie. But the 23-year-old is relishing the challenge, saying: "I'm an underdog as compared to him. I want to win because after preparing and not competing for so long, I would love to play more rounds." In the first match of the Toyota Thailand Open, Loh will face Thailand's Kunlavut Vitidsarn, the world No. 29. There is also much at stake this season for Loh and Yeo, who are aiming to compete at the Olympic Games in July. But their journey to Tokyo is riddled with uncertainty. The top 38 singles players in the men's and women's Race to Tokyo rankings will qualify and while Loh and Yeo are 16th and 17th respectively, they are unsure of which tournaments will take place in the last few months of the qualification window, which closes on May 2. Qualifiers for the July 23-Aug 8 Olympics restart on March 2 at the Swiss Open. Loh said: "We're going to play it by ear and see the situation around the world. If we can, we'll go to get more Olympic points for qualification."

Momota’s comeback halted by positive virus test

TOKYO • Badminton world No. 1 Kento Momota tested positive for Covid-19 yesterday, prompting the withdrawal of the Japanese national team from the Jan 12-17 Thailand Open. National broadcaster NHK said he tested positive at Narita Airport ahead of the team's departure for Thailand. An official from the Japan Badminton Association confirmed that none of the other 22 Japanese players tested positive, but said the entire team would withdraw nonetheless. Its spokesman told Agence France-Presse: "Momota has tested positive for the coronavirus, and the association has decided not to send any players, including Momota, to Thailand." Momota had been looking forward to his international comeback in Bangkok after almost a year out following a car crash that left him with serious injuries. The 26-year-old won his first competition - the domestic All-Japan championships - late last month since being involved in an accident after winning the Malaysia Masters last January. The crash killed the driver of the van that was taking him to Kuala Lumpur International Airport and left Momota fearing for his career following a fractured eye socket. His injury coupled with the coronavirus pandemic meant last season was a write-off, so the left-hander, who won a record-breaking 11 titles in 2019, was keen to test himself against top international players in Bangkok. Momota had been drawn to face 33rd-ranked Thai Khosit Phetpardab in the first round and his pullout will be a big blow to Thailand Open organisers. While the rescheduled Super 1000 tournament - it did not take place last year because of the pandemic - will be held behind closed doors and in bio-secure "bubble" conditions, the absence of the world champion will likely hurt TV viewing figures. The Thailand Open is set to be the first Badminton World Federation World Tour event to be held in Asia since the Covid-19 shutdown in March. It is also one of three tournaments taking place in the country this month, following massive disruptions to last year's schedule. AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
