@Disc 2 - How does DEM damage sino-thai relationship when they are merely exposing a hoax and false statements made by the PTP regarding to which countries are buying the rice? It would have no effect on China and their relationship other than making the PTP look bad for making false statements. China will ignore it or warn PTP to stop issuing false statements.

Just like how Philippines came out and denied Thailand sold rice to them in a G to G deal.

"If the government's claim regarding the rice sale under the G-to-G deal was a hoax, relations between the two countries could be affected, he warned."

Dems are the actual ones who tried to damage the sino-thai relationship in this case.

Government is moving some rice but at a loss. None of the rice has been sold at above market price. Even the International Rice Research Institute publish articles stating the Rice Scheme as unsustainable and will put the country in more debt, on top of that it barely benefit the farmers. Its a loosing policy, PTP knows it.
