Abstract

The research mainly based on the history of the relationship between China and Thailand, especially analyzed from the educational, economic and political policy changes on the relationship between China and Thailand. The research main used literature research, interdisciplinary research and case study to demonstrate the relationship between China and Thailand from five aspects, specifically from China’s economic-growth and the role of the world, the US factors, and so on. The research concluded that the international relationship between China and Thailand is rooted in their deep history. The countries have interacted in commerce, culture, and migration. Trade between them is governed by free trade policies governing the ASEAN. When conditions favor Thailand's interest, Thailand changes allegiance significantly when the sovereignty and national security threats. It aligns with the powerful side while still maintaining contact with former allies. However, China maintains a firmer grip and control in the interaction. Through soft power policies, China attracts support from Thailand through coercive techniques of appeal and attraction. Signing favorable trade deals and ensuring a good relationship with neighboring countries dominate Sino-Thai relations. With the Confucius Institutes dominating Thailand, a different international relations policy would benefit Thailand by emphasizing assimilation instead of domination by one cultural group, and only through win-win cooperation can benefit both China and Thailand to conquer the future challenges nowadays.
