China here on Saturday expressed deep concern over the situation in Thailand after bloody clashes Friday night between Thai troops and the anti-government ＂red shirts.＂
＂As a friendly neighbor of Thailand, we are deeply concerned and worried over the situation in the country,＂ Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said in response to a reporter's question.
Ma said China expected the parties involved to restrain themselves and work together toward a resumption of social stability in Thailand at an early date.
Thai troops started to seal off the ＂red shirts＂ fortified encampment late Thursday, prompting a series of violent clashes.
The anti-government ＂red shirts＂ protest in central Bangkok started on March 12 with the Rathchaprason Intersection in central Bangkok as their main rally site.
