34 China has tightening up relationship to Thailand China's policy of proactive strategies. Long-term ASEAN and its neighbors in the region. Located in the heart of ASEAN, Thailand Build networks with other countries in the region, Thailand is also a longtime ally of the United States. The Chinese government has a policy of not criticizing Thailand. Future strategic relationship Thailand - China will be more systematic.
35 China looks at Thai economy: Thailand is more important. Thailand s strength Thailand is a prime location as market base. (Vietnam as a production base. Singapore is finance and accounting bases). Thailand is a major food manufacturer for China. China is a major trading partner of Thailand, as Thailand is China's third largest trading partner in ASEAN. Thailand s Weakness Thailand has the people with knowledge of social science rather than science. Thailand s SME still lack the knowledge to take advantage of the Framework Agreement. Thailand has less skill language with English and Chinese. Thailand faced by SME's cost competitiveness of the CLMV. 35
36 In addition, Thailand is a country to invest. 1. The size of the market, high consumer price level stable and high levels of market opening 2. Thailand infrastructure is better than many countries in the region. 3. The level of openness and optimism. 4. Bilateral Cooperation Thailand - China. 5. Long experience of FDI from abroad. 36
