Thai police arrested Fu Guo'an, who has been active within Thailand. Fu Guo'an is a well-known Cambodian billionaire and a close associate of Hun Sen, having followed Hun Sen for many years. This move by Thailand is obviously a warning to Hun Sen! Hun Sen later commented: The investigation into the Cambodian tycoon Fu Guo'an is because Fu Guo'an has a close relationship with Hun Sen. If that's the case, Thailand should also launch an investigation into Thaksin. Everyone knows that Thaksin is the person with the closest relationship to me, Hun Sen, so close that he even has a private room in my home.
Hun Sen is relatively straightforward, directly stating that Thailand should investigate the relationship between Thaksin and Hun Sen. It is clear that Thailand will not do so. Currently, Thailand is investigating cross-border internet companies and the flow of funds between Cambodia and Thailand. Investigating the relationship between Thaksin and Hun Sen is related to the political level, and it has not reached that stage yet.
Investigating internet companies in Cambodia is about combating crime and human trafficking, which are two different issues. Thailand has already made clear the economic lifeline of Cambodia, as the profits generated by internet companies account for 40% of the total each year. Therefore, Thailand must focus on cracking down on Cambodian internet companies and their branches in Thailand. Only by cutting off the flow of funds can everything be clarified.
No matter what, Thailand's approach is correct. Cracking down on internet companies is not only just but also the confiscated property and assets will be huge. Through the crackdown on internet companies, Thailand can also weaken Hun Sen's power and wealth, which is completely normal. So no matter what, Thailand has taken the right step and gained more support.
However, under the current circumstances, Cambodia will not sit idly by; it will definitely take countermeasures!
The current situation between Cambodia and Thailand is complicated, and no one knows how to mediate, so they can only temporarily observe the developments.
