YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal advocates for democracy in Thailand and countries where he believes the Chinese government threatens people’s human rights and freedom. He is one of many netizens who got behind the Milk Tea Alliance that was formed in April 2020, when a Twitter war erupted between Chinese netizens and pro-democracy Thais.

This Gen z, online movement is calling out China’s rising power and supporting home-grown democracy movements through self-deprecating humour, trolling Chinese bots and memes.

Note: At 2:50, Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal is referred to as Student Union President. He longer holds this position.
