The Chinese embassy in Bangkok has condemned Thai politicians for showing support for Hong Kong activists involved in anti-government
protests, saying it could harm the relationship between the two countries.
The criticism was echoed by Thailand's army chief, who on Friday spoke of "hidden agendas" in meetings between opposition activists.
The embassy criticism, in a statement on its official
Facebook page late on Thursday, came days after Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong posted a picture on social media with prominent Thai opposition politician Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.
