Sometimes I get the feeling, that China is whispering into the Thai-Gov ear "how to deal" with citizens. Unfortunately TH try step by step to get control about every part of the people's life. Referring to China's "Smart-City Concept"

Think they may out number the billionaires somewhat so with Chinese population I'll go with 10% of the population.  Late in the day don't want to stress the grey matter with complicated equations or percentages. 😅

There’s a race for which country will have the global digital currency.  I am curious which currency the Word Economic Forum   I believe that the Chinese Digital Yuan will be the world’s currency. The USA dollar has lost its power in several countries. As Saudi Arabia is going to sell oil to China and accept Chinese currency. Which before all crude oil transactions are done in U.S. dollars. With the sanctions on Russia.  Things are changing. Also Black Roock financial is in bed with China. So this story has significant implications about what is starting to happen in the world. Here’s another story to read
