Just because it’s not about America, one of Americas allies, one of Americas enemies, a country that America is bombing it doesn’t mean it’s not of interest to the rest of the world.
One restaurant owner doing something shady is decidedly not newsworthy at the international level. The local police is going to go enforce legal tender laws, and that will be the end of the story. The only context in which this is news is within some kind of “China is encroaching into Thai sovereignty” narrative, but for that you’d need …more than the sketchiness of one restaurant.
This is world news?
Is the USA the only place allowed here?
Just seems non news worthy. The restaurant only accepts Chinese currency. That’s barely local news worthy.
Who said anything about the USA?
Did you actually read the article?
All news is world news.

Thailand is still part of the world, for now anyways.
