China Daily, December 30, published an article saying: "At the beginning of this year, Thailand was associated with keywords such as 'fraud' and 'danger' in the eyes of many Chinese people. However, as tensions escalated along the Thai-Cambodian border, public opinion shifted subtly, and more and more Chinese netizens began to associate Thailand with anti-transnational telecom fraud operations, leading to a significant reversal in attitudes toward this Southeast Asian country."
Comments: Thailand, still facing an image crisis due to the 'fraud' and 'danger' labels at the beginning of 2025, has anchored its core direction of combating transnational telecom fraud through tough measures such as power cuts, network shutdowns, and cross-border joint law enforcement. It has demonstrated its determination through practical achievements, such as the joint repatriation of over 7,600 suspects by the China-Myanmar-Thailand trilateral cooperation, and accurately addressed the deep-seated resentment of Chinese people towards transnational crimes. This national image restoration based on actions ultimately led to a clear shift in public opinion from negative resistance to active recognition.
