Thailand has cut electricity, internet and fuel supplies to five border areas in Myanmar, in an attempt to choke scam centres, which have put a damper on arrivals of foreign tourists, particularly those from neighbouring China. This comes as Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra begins her official visit to China, which is supposed to kick off the 50th anniversary of bilateral ties. Saksith Saiyasombut shares what the prime minister hopes to achieve on her trip.
