BANGKOK -- Thailand will host a large convention of Chinese businesses later this month, hoping to draw more investment from China in areas such as electric vehicles to boost its economy post-pandemic.

With China becoming the largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) for Thailand last year, the event should further catalyze investment inflows from Asia's largest economy.
