Go to www.bon.tv to watch the full episode Follow us on Weibo weibo.com China has signed a rice deal with Thailand during Premier Wen Jiaobao's official visit last week. The 260000 tons of rice worth about 228 million dollars was bought by China's private sector though with some encouragement by the government. Wen and Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding on the rice deal, which will help boost trade between the two countries. The memorandum says both sides will develop rice trading for the benefit of good relations. The Thai government has faced accusations from an opposition party and academics that its pricing policies on rice damaged the domestic market and led to the decline of Thai rice trading, and the deal has helped ease domestic political and market pressure on the Thai government. During the visit, Wen said China will offer more investment in Thailand's infrastructure construction in the future. Prime Minister Yingluck said that Thailand would like China to increase investment by 15% annually, adding that various sectors were open to Chinese investors, including rubber processing, natural plastic, automobiles, and infrastructure development for internet connectivity, high-speed trains, water management and flood prevention.
