Thailand
eyes Russ
and China
Thailand’s cautious over
tures to Peking and Moscow
suggest maturity and
strength in Bangkok rather
than naivete and weakness.
After all, it is better to talk
and trade with the two Com
munist giants on a carefully
monitored basis than to fight
against insurgents that are
supplied with the weapons
and ammunition from both
the People’s Republic of
China and the Soviet Union.
In sending Deputy Foreign
Minister Chartichai
Chunhavan to China last De
cember, Thailand was only
following the lead of its chief
benefactor, the United States.
His visit followed a series of
sports exchanges and discus
sions which led to China’s first
export contract for petro
leum: 50,000 tons of diesel oil
sold to the Thais at a special
low price during the oil crisis.
The countries agreed on
principles of future trade,
including the stipulation that
such trade should be balanced
and of mutual benefit.
A second delegation from
Thailand, led by Defense
Minister Dawee Chullasapaya
— wearing his hat as chair
man of the Thai Olympic
Committee — visited Peking
early this year. Both delega
tions had talks with Premier
Chou En-lai.
China has passed the word
that it sees no problems in
moving toward better rela
tions with Thailand, which
Peking once denounced as the
“main base of U.S. imperial
ism in Southeast Asia.”
Peking expressed no objec
tions to the continued U.S.
military preseiice in Thai
land, a presence which is
being steadily reduced.
Thailand is not rushing
blindly into Peking’s em
brace. There is still the mat
ter of China’s support for Thai
Communists in the northern
provinces. But this has been
mostly confined lately to
some propaganda radio
broadcasts beamed from
China and these seem to be
diminishing in intensity.
Thai leaders are aware that
the very large and commer
cially active Chinese minority
— especially in Bangkok’s
twin city of Dhonburi — could
cause problems such as serv
ing as a conduit for agents.
At the moment, Thailand
retains strong commercial
ties with Taiwan and the
Taipei government is spend
ing considerable money and
energy to lobby against any
switch in Bangkok’s formal
diplomatic relations from
Taipei to Peking.
In addition to testing the
climate for relations with
China, Thailand has received
a delegation from Communist
North Korea, and established
formal ties during the last
year with Outer Mongolia,
Bulgaria, East Germany,
Czechoslovakia, and East
Germany.
The mayor of Moscow
visited Bangkok in February
and relations have been im
proving after two decades in
which the Russians were
treated with suspicion, to put
it mildly.
Thailand already has
formal diplomatic relations
with the Soviet Union but has
shown no interest in Moscow’s
plan for an Asian collective
security system tilted toward
the USSR.
Thailand has always been
the key domino in Southeast
Asia.
Because U.S. presence
quashed a Communist mili
tary takeover in South Viet
nam, Thailand was never
toppled in the chain reaction
of defeat that had been pre
dicted by the more aggressive
Communist line of the late
1950 s and early 19605.
