Moreover, despite being unable to speak Chinese, many Thai-Chinese, descendants of the Chinese who migrated to Thailand, still celebrate Chinese festivals such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Qingming Festival. Chinese cultural activities organized by the Chinese government may sound attractive to Thai peo¬ple, but this does not mean that the Thai consider Chinese culture more favourably or view China more positively. Therefore, it is necessary for China to have a better understanding of Thailand’s “localized” Chinese culture before making a move to promote “official” Chinese culture in Thailand. That understanding is still lacking.
