A Thai immigration center accused of aiding the Myanmar junta’s conscription drive deported another 200 Myanmar nationals to regime authorities in Kawthaung town, Tanintharyi Region, in late February, sparking international protests. All but four of the deportees were reportedly conscripted by the regime.

A recent investigation by The Irrawaddy exposed how the junta is using Ranong Immigration Center as a recruitment hub, forcibly conscripting hundreds of its detainees amid recruitment struggles at home.

In speaking they don’t like China but aren’t worried

I think the threat is discussed in intelligence circles just because they should be prepared and I feel like it would become a bigger issue if China backed Junta were to consolidate power. Which is why Thailand would want to play both sides in secret

Yes there's no need to worry for now since China isn't on your border. I assume you're Thai?
