TOKYO -- Thailand looks to extend as much tax relief as possible to manufacturers setting up shop in the country, the head of a special economic zone there told Nikkei in a recent interview.

Kanit Sangsubhan, secretary-general of Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor, said the tax breaks are designed to attract businesses seeking an alternative production hub to China amid Washington's trade war with Beijing.
