Thailand-Myanmar Earthquake: A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar yesterday, killing over 1000 people. The earthquake caused widespread devastation throughout the country. A 33-story skyscraper in Bangkok collapsed as a result of the earthquake. This building, which has been under construction for three years, has a connection to China. Following collapse, the Thai government launched an investigation into the construction firm.
Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul visited the collapse site on Saturday and demanded an immediate investigation into the incident, leaving many wondering what went wrong at the skyscraper, which was being built in a joint venture with a Chinese company. A Chinese-backed construction firm is being examined in connection with the matter.
