Thaksin was ousted by a military coup last September 19 but remains worrisome for the people in power in Bangkok as he continues with his relentless attacks against the government from different cities around the world.

Thaksin is reportedly in the process of setting up a satellite television network cased in China to sustain his assault against the government.

The Council for National Security (CNS) was irked by Thaksin's latest interview, which appeared in a recent edition of Time magazine's Asia edition, in which he made a reference to the monarchy.

Thaksin told Time that Thais had thrown their support behind the coup after it was endorsed by His Majesty the King.

Local media portrayed the comment as offensive to the monarchy.

The junta accused Thaksin of trying to link the monarchy to the coup - an allegation they have consistently denied.

However, Zhang said Chinese authorities were not aware of Thaksin's new plan.

When asked whether Beijing would order the private sector, which runs the television industry, to bar Thaksin from broadcasting his message against the junta, the ambassador replied indirectly that China was a sovereign country with full authority to enforce its laws.

"China will not allow anybody to use our territory to oppose Thailand and Thai citizens. China will not interfere in the domestic affairs of any country," Zhang told the Nation Channel.

The programme will be aired on "Siam This Morning" on Channel 5 at 6.15am today.

Thaksin was in New York when the coup occurred and has not been allowed to return to Thailand. He has since travelled to the UK, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan and Australia to state his case.

Speaking freely with journalists in those destinations, he has insisted he has no intention of returning to politics but also expressed confidence he could win an election if he did choose to run.

Ambassador Zhang said China could not bar Thaksin from entering China, saying he enjoyed the same privileges as other Thai nationals.

"As long as we are unable to reject the entry of Thai citizens, we are also unable to bar him from entering China, be it for tourism or something else," said Zhang.

"I hope the Thai people will understand. We will not allow anybody to spoil relations between the two countries, and he has not met any Chinese officials," he said.
