Your research obviously has led you to believe what you want to believe instead of empathizing with other people's personal experiences. Your grand idea of making China a better place isn't going to work. You are putting hope and optimism in a group who don't know how to carry out properly a cause which is supposed to be for the better.

I'm sure you have many people on your side, and after many years of working in China you will have accomplished many things that many of us cannot do since we are no longer working there. Yet also be assured that there will be many more people who will have bad experiences with China and with being treated poorly. I myself didn't want to post on these boards for fear of retaliation, yet I decided to in the end because REALITY IS REALITY.

There will always be people like you as well as people like me who disagree on how to approach a problem. I stand by what I believe in and you can believe whatever it is you believe in. Rest assured though I could not care less about what you think of me.

Btw I have never even been to Thailand, your assumptions are way off the mark. Don't assume other people should stay retired just because they may have said something you're afraid of
