BANGKOK - The Chinese government is interested in buying Thai agricultural produce, especially rice, and expanding investment in Thailand, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said after a meeting with visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday.

Ms Yingluck said China plans to expand its investment in Thailand by 15% per year and is keen on opening a new airline route between the two countries.

The government would like to invite China to invest in Thailand's highspeed train network project, water management and the Dawei deep-sea port in Myanmar, she said.

Thailand is so gullible. Why do they think Burma opened up to world investment? And do the corrupt Thai politicians really think that China will be OK with and accept the public tolerated Thai political corruption of skimming upwards from 30% investment for mega projects into their personal pockets?

If Thailand is smart they will play both sides (USA and China) against each other, and take everything the other has to offer.
