Agence France-Presse report in the day of speculation, “the Thai soldiers were involved in that affair with the Myanmar drug traffickers.”

China’s domestic public opinion on the “acceptance of a simple soldier involved in the trial on the return to barracks” very unhappy, and Thai soldiers in the country’s unique position and whether the drug-related problems also will be cause for concern.

political power powerful Thai military

political landscape in Thailand, has been the most powerful military force. Thailand is Southeast Asia’s first country to introduce the Western democratic system. June 1932, dissatisfied with the feudal autocracy and acceptance of Western ideas of the Democratic Party (Thailand’s first political party) at the coup, to set up a batch Yepa wind temporary military government, headed by Lieutenant Colonel, Thailand signed the interim constitution, to confirm a constitutional monarchy, the system still in use. Although some analysts believe the military is a modern Thai political system, “midwife”, but such a system change is achieved through a military coup, which left to the Thai political after-effects are difficult to cure. Occurred 20 times in Thailand coup, the military coup there 18 times, nine of which are the direct leadership of the military, the military agent for the 16 session of the government, the military just out of the seven Prime Minister, the Thai military’s influence. The proliferation of civil profound. It can be said with the hands of the “hard power”, the Thai military can freely decide the political direction of the military in 2006 against former Prime Minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra’s military coup is the best example. At that time, he believed the power of the military to support their confidence, even before the coup in advance to get the message, but when Marshall became commander Sonthi still be able to send troops to occupy important places in a short time, and the royal family and the people in Thailand can understanding, support to power.

support Thaksin “Red Shirts” power on the rise last year, Thailand’s natural reaction to a strong military. At that time the “Red Army” launched massive demonstrations, occupied commercial, television, etc. to land, the Thai police can not afford to stop. Eventually, the Thai military forcibly cleared to run for the army and the “Red Shirts” at various locations in Bangkok conflict. Both sides use rubber bullets, tear gas and stones, sticks and other weapons after a fierce dogfight, “Red Shirts” surrender. August 8 this year, Thaksin’s sister, the British pull? Shinawatra has been elected Prime Minister of Thailand. Elected to the British pull the natural dictates of public opinion in Thailand, it may also herald from another side of the image in the minds of the people the military increasingly weakening trend. In fact, when the Thai military to corruption as the star ousted Thaksin, and a year later, the coup leaders had already heard the locals Sonthi and other military officers, “not clean” all the arguments. However, the overall view, the Thai military in their home or very authoritative, this may be the Thai government, the police in dealing with Chinese crew members were killed cases, need to address the reasons for caution.

drug may also be drug-related

in northern Thailand, police fight against drug crime has been regarded as a stabilizing factor. According to the Thai government statistics, each year about 1 billion into Thailand, where ice from the mainland, but the region is an important source of opium and heroin. As the anti-drug form of severe form of the Thai police, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Thai military three condominium situation. Therefore, especially in northern Thailand near the “Golden Triangle” region, Thailand, police and armed drug traffickers in fierce fighting is not uncommon.

However, the Thai military and police there are a lot of internal problems. The end of 2009, Thai police had released results of a drug, 40000 drugs, three M-16 assault rifles, 3,000 rounds of ammunition and bombs. What is embarrassing is that two out of five people arrested are resigned to the police, and one of them is a drug gang leader.

Thai border guards were accused of the killings of the Chinese crew members after the murderers, who in the end there is not anything to do with the drug traffickers have become the focus of media attention outside. Asia-Pacific Academy of Social Sciences researcher Xu Liping told “World News” reporter, said, “Thai soldiers arrested for drug trafficking, is not no such possibility.” Xu Liping explained, because the drug is a lucrative industry, in fact, the Thai police have history of drug involved. In short, drug-related problems, the Thai military and police are not entirely innocent. Xu Liping said, “Corruption in the Thai army is very serious, they can do business, start a company, to compensate for the lack of military budget, but to provide a breeding ground for breeding corruption.”

Thus, the Even if the nine Thai soldiers, “the Chinese crew killed purely personal conduct,” but can not rule out associated with the drug traffickers.
