I wish there were more information about the incident mentioned in the Did You Know column 20 March 2015. As best I can tell, from 1963 Kham Ouane Boupha was on the Communist side of the Laotian conflict, yet in 1967 he supplied paratroopers for a mission in which the Lao Royalist government and the Nationalist government of Taiwan cooperated in spying on the Communist Chinese. Why would a Communist help Royalists and Nationalists spy on his fellow Communists? I'm not disputing that it happened (if a source says it did), but it seems worth explaining why. Unless I'm misunderstanding the situation, he appears to have been acting against his own side's interests. Gms3591 (talk) 10:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
It is a bepuzzlement. Best answer I could give you is, spies spy on everyone, including their "friends".Georgejdorner (talk) 22:06, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
