(C) Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was still
in China November 9, according to a political officer at the
Thai Embassy in Beijing. Namon Yuthavong (protect) told us
that Thaksin remains in China and has been traveling around
and meeting with Chinese businessmen. Namon said Thaksin
showed no signs of leaving China soon, according to her
Ambassador who is a personal friend of Thaksin's (reftel),
and Thaksin acts like "he has no place else to go."
