Don't go thorough middlemen, go straight to the source. Eastern Europe is insane for your Hondas Accords and other models which you cut short and will be more than glad to accommodate all your needs as far as direct manufacturing and growth within. Chinese belt initiative has its really weak spots and wherever by whomever you were pushed out must feel on own skin belt initiative. Honda Uyghur and Toyota Lèse-NO-majesté MUST PREVAIL IN THIS NEW WORLD - EVERYWHERE NOT ONLY IN CHINA AND ON THAILAND. There seems is no difference between Chinese so called communism and Thailandese so called royalism. Goes same for South Korea - two countries, I do incorporate into NATO. When will you have Model Mazda Taiwan on sale !!???
GENEVA – UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk said today the Thailand Constitutional Court's ruling to dissolve the Move Forward Party (MFP) and ban its senior figures from political life was deeply troubling and undermines democratic processes and restricts political pluralism.
The court found MFP – a party that had won the most seats in the last election – guilty of jeopardizing the constitutional monarchy and national security on account of its advocacy for reform of the country’s lèse-majesté law. As well as disbanding the party, its executives were barred from politics for 10 years.
The High Commissioner said UN human rights mechanisms have long expressed concern that this prohibition, set out in article 112 of the Criminal Code, is inconsistent with Thailand’s obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and should be reviewed.
“This decision seriously impacts fundamental freedoms of expression and association, and people's right to participate in public affairs and political life in Thailand,” said Türk. “No party or politician should ever face such penalties for peacefully advocating legal reform, particularly in support of human rights.
“I call on the Government to find pathways to ensure a vibrant, strong and inclusive democracy that promotes and respects the rights to freedom of expression and association, and end the use of lèse-majesté laws to suppress critical voices.
A diversity of voices and opinions is fundamental to ensuring respect and protection of human rights and achieving peaceful social and economic development.”

NATO Chief: West Should 'Impose A Cost' On China For Its Support Of Russia
WASHINGTON -- NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on June 17 that China was providing technology to Russia that is prolonging its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and called on Beijing to face the consequences of this support.
"Beijing cannot have it both ways. At some point -- and unless China changes course -- allies need to impose a cost. There should be consequences," Stoltenberg said at the Wilson Center in Washington.
Stoltenberg said that in the past two years 90 percent of Russian microelectronics originated in China, and that China was working to improve Russian satellite capabilities.
"Threats are not regional," Stoltenberg said. "China is fueling the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II, and at the same time it wants to maintain good relations with the West."
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby also said China was continuing to provide Russia with components for military equipment and weapon systems.
Speaking at a briefing on June 17, he said microelectronics had helped "shore up...what would have been a truly crumbling Russian defense industrial base." Kirby added that the United States had raised the issue with China.
Stoltenberg noted that NATO faces threats from China related to Russia along with threats from China related to the Indo-Pacific and the Arctic.
Russia has also built up relations with North Korea, and on June 17 the Kremlin announced that President Vladimir Putin will embark on a two-day visit to North Korea starting on June 18. Putin is expected to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for talks focused on expanding military cooperation.
The deepening relationship is a concern for the United States, Kirby said.
"We know North Korean ballistic missiles are being used to hit Ukrainian targets," he said.
Both Pyongyang and Moscow have denied accusations about North Korean weapons transfers, which would be in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
Stoltenberg said the "growing alignment between Russia and its authoritarian friends in Asia makes it even more important that we work closely with our friends in the Indo-Pacific."
Non-NATO members Australia, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand will attend the July 9-11 NATO summit in Washington as observers.
The secretary-general said Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine will be the "most urgent topic" for discussion at the summit, along with NATO defense spending.
