With the support of fanatical "patriotic" careerists and politicians, the public opinion of expulsion of lone troops is gradually brewing a force.We cite the Thai language "Wanman Daily" as a representative. In the column published by this newspaper, while attacking Mr. Kunsha's armed group, the style of writing has changed: "There are also quite a few ethnic minorities (referring to the Chinese) living in Thailand, who are allowed to live in Thailand out of humanity and in accordance with the regulations of the United Nations agency on refugees, but these ethnic minorities must be under the guardianship of Thai officials , and must refrain from any political activities to affect Thailand's international relations with its neighbors.

"Thai officials should tell them that they must abide by Thai laws and must accept the guardianship of Thai officials. If they dare to offend Thailand's sovereignty, the Thai government will not allow them to continue to live." Then the allegations were made: "What Kunsha and the like (referring to the lone army) have shown is that they forgot the favor of the Thai government to allow them to take refuge after they escaped from the dire straits, and instead confronted the Thai government. We ask the government to treat every asylum in Thailand Ethnic minorities declare: They are not allowed to occupy every square inch of Thailand’s land.”

The newspaper warned the Thai government saying: "Lebanon is the best example. Every time their government took in foreign fugitives to take refuge in their country, but they couldn't control them. The refugees provoked the government instead, but the Lebanese government was helpless. It is exactly like the fable of the farmer and the poisonous snake. The farmer couldn't bear it. A venomous snake was cold, and he held the snake in his arms to keep it warm, but the revived venomous snake bit the farmer to death." The paper called on the government to take drastic measures:

"Thailand has not been at war for a long time, but it does not mean that it is afraid of war. We are always ready for war to defend the country's sovereignty and independence. Therefore, it is not easy for a few people to try to occupy our country. The Thai government should put the country Sovereignty is separated from humanitarian principles." Finally, the finishing touch, the threat says: "For the sake of national security, we will put humanity at risk." Readers, please pay attention, this is a signal. In a dictatorial country, after this signal, the national communication tool will bark like a hundred dogs, immediately causing "patriotic" epilepsy, followed by a righteous bloody massacre.The Jews were almost exterminated by the Nazis, and it was after this signal was sent that all attacks were unstoppable.Thailand is a democratic country, and the results cannot be seen immediately, but once the psychological impact matures, the outcome will also be unmanageable.When an independent country with a population of 40 million wants to resolutely expel foreigners who "traffick in drugs", no one can stop it, and there is no face to stop it.

For the Miao descendants of the solitary army, this is really "sitting at home, and the disaster comes from the sky". "Revolutionary Army", I couldn't help being surprised when they were mixed together. For many years, they have been content with the current peaceful status quo, and they can't even dream of how such rumors of possible catastrophe would happen. We cannot complain about the public opinion in Thailand. If we were Thais, our reaction would be even stronger.Thai politicians, like politicians in any other country, only see the interests within three inches of their eyes.If they see three inches away, they will find that after expelling the lone army, the defense line in the northern border of Thailand will be destroyed, wolves will be lured into the house, ethnic conflicts will break out, Thailand will fall into civil war, and finally collapse.

Not only the Thais can't figure out the relationship between Mr. Kunsha's armed group and the lone Hmong, even the Chinese in Taiwan can't figure it out either.On the third day after the publication of the third report, a letter was delivered by a special messenger. The letter was written by Ms. Wang Kezhi, a Christian. She had just returned from the northern border region of Thailand. Of course they didn't enter the Golden Triangle, but outside the Golden Triangle, they were terrified.She has done devotional service in several refugee villages in the lonely army, and she has a deep feeling.After praising me for a while, she blamed me for putting her in a situation where the "drug lord" and the lone army were seen as one.

The letter said: "In the past few days, when I opened the newspaper, I suddenly saw the astonishing headline of "Golden Triangle? Border Region? Deserted City". After reading the content carefully, I was restless all day. Therefore, I wrote a letter urgently and hoped that it will be in your hands as soon as possible. "The influence of this book on young people of this generation is obvious to all. When it was published, I was only seven years old, and I didn't know the grand occasion reported there. But since I was in middle school, after reading this "banned book" at that time, it made me I will never forget the Thai-Myanmar border region and the local Chinese. During the Spring Festival this year (1982), I finally went to northern Thailand with a few sisters to serve them.

"Undoubtedly, my feelings for the Chinese people in the Thailand-Myanmar Border Region all stemmed from a book. Thanks to its dissemination, I, a young man who has never suffered, can understand the suffering and responsibility of the Chinese people."
