Why are there so many Chinese in Thai politics?

Why are there so many Chinese in Thai politics?

From 1932, about half of the 33rd Prime Minister of Thailand is Chinese! In recent 10 years, several prime ministers such as Chao Wali, Thaksin Shinawatra, Samak and Abhisit all have Chinese ancestry. Former Prime Minister Banharn Sirpa-Archa, Chinese name Ma Dexiang; Former Prime Minister chuan leekphai, whose Chinese name is Lu Jiwen, is the third generation Chinese in Thailand.

The reason is that in the past, China people immigrated to Thailand because of the inspiration and love of King Zheng Zhaowang, and they have already participated in the political and economic life of Thailand prematurely. According to historical research, most China people come from Guangdong and Fujian. At the beginning of the 20th century, chaozhou people was dominant, accounting for 40%, others such as Hainanese 18%, Hakka 16% and Fujian 16%. Later, quite a few of them were senior generals of King Zheng Zhaowang, who made historic contributions to safeguarding Thailand's sovereignty and unity!

It is an indisputable fact that with the development of political democratization in Thailand and the enhancement of Chinese economic strength, Chinese people's right to speak has been respected. Looking at the trend of global politics, economy has always dominated politics. The rapid development of Chinese economy in Thailand will inevitably promote its political rise.
