A video of Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been shared in Chinese-language social media posts that claim it shows Paetongtarn saying she is ready to rescue Chinese citizens from Myanmar if Beijing gives the order.
But the claim is false. Paetongtarn was in fact discussing the latest trafficking case that happened at the Thai-Myanmar border and how Thailand would handle the situation with care to avoid damaging its tourism industry.
