Dear Mr. Lee
I've read the thread above with much interest.....and I
personally think that
Chinese foreign policy and her closed ties with SEA nations during
that period
(1950' s to 1975)Thailand, was definitely one of SEA nations. failed
to mention.
Your article definitely omitted that China completely failed to
established her political sup****ts CPT(the Communist Party of
Thailand) particularly where she's a the strong hold in ISAN?
.......though Chinese General Chen Yi....did mentioned of Chinese
Political and
military sup****ts the CPT and it's never been materialized ?
