Online news:

China has revoked its travel warning for Thailand, issued last week amid fears of a possible terrorist attack, Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said on Friday.

Mr Surapong said the revocation came after he and Prime Minster Yingluck Shinawatra attended a Chinese New Year event at the Chinese Embassy on Wednesday and asked Ambassador Guan Mu to lift the travel alert.

Mr Guan promised to discuss Ms Yingluck’s request with Beijing, Mr Surapong said.

There are terrorists on the loose somewhere in Bangkok and Thailand. And all Surapong's concerned about is still the tourist dollar or RMB. Just because YS has conned the Chinese into lifting their ban will not make the problem disappear.
