Chapter 138 Interview with the Thai Economic and Cultural Delegation

(December 21, 1955) We in China can trade with Thailand.Thailand wants to sell hundreds of thousands of tons of rice to China, and we can buy it.We can also buy some rubber.What do you need? Steel, iron, we have both.We also have light industrial products.As for daily necessities, you should set up your own factories to produce them.We can help you set up light and industrial factories.At present, we can help you set up cotton mills, paper mills and sugar factories.You can exchange it with rice and rubber.If you need, we can also send technicians to help you design the factory, and they will come back after completion and hand over the factory to you.

I would like to express my gratitude to Prime Minister Luang Phibun, Superintendent of Police Nai Pao and Nai Lian for their compliments.We hope that everyone will cooperate and unite, and that Luang Phibun and Nai Pao will unite.There are no secrets in China. We don't have one thing in front of us and another behind our backs. We only have one thing, not two.You can learn this from them when you go to India and Burma.The more you get in touch with us, and the longer you spend, the more you will understand. Will China invade you? You can watch it for ten or eight years.You can also see whether China respects you or not, whether it treats you as brothers.You can see it clearly by looking at how old he is.There is another point, whether we are reasonable or not, you can also see.Some people say that the Communist Party is unreasonable, unfaithful, and not easy to provoke. It is not easy to be friends if we have had troubles in the past. You can also read it! The United States has the biggest trouble with us, and we still want to To be friends with the United States means that the United States does not do anything.We want to do it, but it doesn't do it, so what can we do? We have to wait.

You must be cautious in what you do. The United States will kill you, so be careful.You originally proposed to come secretly, but after we understood your difficulties, we agreed.We must slowly and gradually improve Sino-Thai relations.Luang Phibun Tong Nai Pao should be united, and unity is beneficial to Thailand.The United States wants you to discord and quarrel internally.It creates this faction against that faction, and that faction against this faction, in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.It was good for you to come this time, and you will come again when you have a chance.We can also send people to visit you, as long as you want, we can go; if you are inconvenient, we don't have to go.If we go, the United States will find trouble with you and cause you difficulties, so we don't have to go.We don't talk about communism in your country either, we only talk about peaceful coexistence, friendship, and business.We do not provoke others against his government.Prime Minister U Nu was afraid that we would provoke the Burmese Communist Party to oppose the U Nu government. We said, we only recognize your one government, and a country cannot have two governments at the same time.You also have the Communist Party in your country, and we will not provoke them to oppose your government.

There are overseas Chinese in Thailand, those who have joined your nationality are considered Thais, and those who have not joined the Thai nationality are Chinese.If there were not many overseas Chinese, people would be afraid.The Communist Party organization of our overseas Chinese has also been abolished, in order to eliminate the suspicion of the government of the country where the overseas Chinese are located, so that everyone can trust each other.Whether we say one thing and do another thing, you can also read it.There is no evidence for what you say, and you can still look at the facts in the future.After watching for a long time, you will see clearly.
