Abstract

As an important node country in "Belt and Road" initiative, Thailand has maintained cooperation with China in various aspects, including economy and trade. In addition, compliance with the initiative will undoubtedly provide a broader cooperation opportunity for both two countries. However, the religious factors along the “Belt and Road” have a great influence on politics, economy and other fields. As a religiously prevalent country, Thailand is no exception. The Thai government intends to assimilate Muslims with the culture and values of Buddhism to maintain the status of Buddhism. The compulsory nature of this policy has led to constant conflict between the two religions and even triggered a crisis of terrorism. If the Thai government does not take measures, it will create uncertainties of many aspects, even affecting the implementation of China-Thailand cooperation and the development of the initiative. Therefore, the author proposes to reduce the sectarian conflicts and promote the stability of the domestic situation through the exchanges between Yunnan Muslims and Malay Muslims, the transformation of Thailand’s policy of national integration, and religious infiltration, which will all benefit the implement of "Belt and Road" initiative.
