According to CCTV reports, on June 11, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked whether China has any comments on the Thai courts' decision to sentence criminals involved in the 2015 Bangkok terrorist attacks to death.
Spokesperson Lin Jian said that we have noticed that the Thai side has also made a judgment regarding the related case. The terrorist attack and explosion back then resulted in the deaths of 20 people, including 7 Chinese citizens, and more than 100 people were injured. The perpetrators were completely inhumane and committed heinous crimes. The Chinese side supports the Thai side in carrying out legal proceedings to punish the criminals severely.
On August 17, 2015, an explosion occurred near the Phra Phrom Wat temple in the center of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. Among the victims were not only Chinese citizens, but also citizens from countries such as Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.
