Published 5 years, 4 months ago
Description
Inspired by Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, Thailand's youth organized mass protests to demand reforms from the culturally revered monarchy. Political scientist Pavin Chachavalpongpun joins Deep Dish to explain how social media makes these protests different than past movements and why the United States should see Thailand as a foreign policy priority when negotiating a rising China.
