I’m Laotian American and I’m very optimistic about the future of Laos after it gets connected to China’s High Speed Rail system.

This will bring a lot of economic activity to a Laos which hardly gets any attention at all since it has a low population and is land-locked.

It’s great that Laos has a bullet train before Vietnam or Malaysia and this will bring a lot of money into the country.

Thank you China for this gift and helping my people live a better life.

我是老撾裔美國人，我對老撾與中國高速鐵路系統連接後的未來非常樂觀。

這將給老撾帶來大量的經濟活動，因為老撾人口少，而且是內陸國家，因此幾乎沒有受到任何關注。

老撾在越南或馬來西亞之前擁有子彈頭列車，這將為該國帶來大量資金，這真是太棒了。

感謝中國的禮物並幫助我的人民過上更好的生活。

lets bleed blue

I am happy for you and your country and would wish or hope this brings prosperity to your country,

but this train is no bullet train, bullet trains or high speed rails are considered to be above 200km/hr. Moreovers its top speed is 160, so it will run at lower than that on avg. This train’s body and design  looks like of a high speed train but its speed is restrained for some reason�

我為你們和你們的國家感到高興，希望並祝福這能給你們的國家帶來繁榮。

但這列火車不是子彈頭列車，子彈頭列車或高速鐵路被認為是時速在200公里/小時以上的列車。此外，它的最高速度是160公里/小時，因此它的平均運行速度將低於這個速度。這列火車的車體和設計看起來像一列高速火車，但由於某些原因，它的速度會受到限制。

USA: “Laos is a landlocked country, their military needs sophisticated weapons”

China: “Laos is a landlocked country, Laotian need reliable infrastructures to boost their economy”

美國：“老撾是一個內陸國家，他們在軍事上需要尖端武器”。

中國：“老撾是一個內陸國家，老撾需要可靠的基礎設施來提振它的經濟”。

USA: Let’s build more weapons for war!

China: Let’s build infrastructures to help other countries that are needed to boost trading and tourism

美國：讓我們製造更多的戰爭武器！

中國：讓我們建設基礎設施，幫助其他需要提升貿易和旅遊業的國家。

With this train connecting Laos to China

there will be millions of tourists from China to Laos.

Also there will be fast import & export between

Laos & China.

Whatever Laos import from China will also & can be re-export to other

 neighboring countries.

Laos will eventually be a HUB for Asean countries

IF OTHER COUNTRIES ARE NOT

& DO NOT WANT TO BE PART OF THE BRI.

With all these, Laos can easily pay off whatever is owning.

PEACE & PROSPERITY WILL EVENTUALLY BE IN LAOS.

這列火車連接老撾和中國，

將有數以百萬計的中國遊客前往老撾。

此外，老撾和中國之間的進口和出口的速度也將加快，

老撾從中國進口的任何東西也可以再出口到其他鄰國。

如果其他國家沒有高鐵或者不想成為一帶一路的一部分，那麼老撾最終將成為東盟國家的中心。

有了所有這些，老撾可以輕易地還清所擁有的一切債務。

和平與繁榮最終將在老撾實現。

If i were Laotian, I would start learning Chinese now. Business opportunities from all the Chinese tourists will be for the one who prepared.

如果我是老撾人，我將從現在就開始學習漢語，因為所有中國遊客的商機都將屬於有準備的人。

Indonesia is also building one of those, the Jakarta-bandung project. And with an additional extra for upgrading the train’s speed. Collaboration with japan and also china. Congrats laos!

印度尼西亞也在建設一條高鐵，即雅加達-萬隆項目。另外還有一項額外的費用用於與日本和中國的合作提高列車的運行速度。祝賀老撾！

Great infrastructure project. I wish we have the same in the Philippines. They are building a 143 km railway in Manila for $7.3B. Very overpriced. That China- Laos railway project is 3x longer and about $1.4 billion cheaper.

偉大的基礎設施項目，我希望我們在菲律賓也有同樣的高鐵。馬尼拉耗資73億美元修建了一條143公里的鐵路，這個價格太高了。中老鐵路項目的長度是那條鐵路的3倍，但價格要便宜約14億美元。

Facts for all to know Lao government wanted the railway 46 years ago but soviet union cannot provide necessary assistance

So cheers for Laos �

眾所周知，46年前老撾政府想要修建這條鐵路，但蘇聯無法提供必要的援助。

為老撾乾杯。

Lol. In Kenya we spent $3b for a railway that goes to nowhere and cannot even repay the loan. It is one of the most corrupt infrastructure projects we have ever done. Our trains are not modern and are diesel powered!!!

哈哈哈哈。在肯尼亞，我們花了30億美元修建了一條行不通的，甚至無法償還貸款的鐵路，這是我們做過的最腐敗的基礎設施項目之一。而且我們的火車不是現代化的，而是柴油動力的！！！

It will be great if it connects to Malaysia’s ECRL line which will be completed in 2025.

After this we can take a train to China.

如果這條鐵路能連接到2025年完工的馬來西亞ECRL線路那就太棒了。

這樣以後我們可以坐火車去中國。

I hope Amtrak can improve on their high speed railway infrastructure, they have the trains for it but the tracks aren’t fitted for them! As much as I hate the biden administration, his the only president who is a big fan of amtrak so let’s hope something can be done to rake up that 62mph average speed! �

我希望美國鐵路公司能改善他們的高速鐵路基礎設施，他們有足夠的火車，但是軌道不適合他們！雖然我很討厭拜登政府，但他是唯一一位大力支持美鐵的總統，所以讓我們希望他們能採取一些措施來提高一下62英里/小時的平均速度！

Apparently, instead of staying poor, People in Laos choose to live a modern life with debt, which is the same thing when you choose to use your credit cards.

顯然，老撾人不想繼續貧窮，而是選擇過着有負債的現代生活，這與你選擇使用信用卡是一樣的。

I don’t care what anyone says? China is the only nation helping Laos improve their statuiton and poor economy.

我不在乎別人怎麼説，但中國是唯一一個幫助老撾提高地位和改善經濟的國家。

Now the big question is what china will take over after Laos default on its loans

現在的大問題是，在老撾債務違約後，中國將接管它。

You have to view infrastructure (Road + rail) like the veins in a human body. They transport things around and makes everything work.

你應該將基礎設施（公路+鐵路）視為人體的靜脈血管，人體通過它們把東西運來運去，讓一切都運轉起來。

Today I still wonder. Why can Laos buid a whole express rail transit while Hanoi, Vietnam can’t even build a metro?

今天我仍然在想，為什麼連老撾都可以建造一整條快速鐵路，而越南河內甚至無法建造地鐵？

I’m from Cambodia and there is a rails way idk if it silk road rail way or Asean rail way but it about a couple of hundred meters from my house . Very excited .

我來自柬埔寨，我這邊有一條鐵路，我不清楚是“一帶一路”的鐵路還是東盟鐵路，但離我家大約只有幾百米。我感到非常興奮。

I hope it’ll be worthwhile for Laos. It’s a very expensive project for a small, low-income country like Laos. The cost of this project is almost 1/3 of Laos’ entire GDP or 1.8 times the country’s annual total government budget. I don’t think any country has ever spent that much on a single project in world history.

我希望這對老撾來説是值得的。因為對於像老撾這樣的低收入小國來説，這是一個非常昂貴的項目。這個項目的成本幾乎是老撾全部GDP的1/3，或者是該國年度政府總預算的1.8倍。我認為世界歷史上沒有哪個國家曾經在一個項目上花費那麼多錢。

Does the non skillled labour came from china or local LAOS people ? Hopefully the locals could pay the ticket, if it not, it is just another BIG WHITE ELEPHANT project by CHINA CCC, it is already happen in SRI LANKA. airport without plane, only security guards, in Malaysia, it is coming soon. Any transportation infrastructure project must affordable to be paid by locals.

非技術工人是來自中國還是使用的老撾當地人？我希望是當地人，如果不是的話，那麼這只是中國建築公司的另一個大白象項目，這在斯里蘭卡已經發生過了。在馬來西亞，沒有飛機只有保安的機場很快就會出現了。任何交通基礎設施項目都必須讓當地人負擔得起才行。

在美國，我們以50億美元的價格建造了10公里的高速鐵路。

I think the 2020 pandemic has taught a lot of people the importance of multiple streams of income,unfortunately having a job doesn’t mean security…no rich man or woman made it through salary,investing now will be wise

我認為2020年的大流行讓很多人認識到了收入來源多樣性的重要性，因為不幸的是，有一份工作並不意味着有安全感……沒有哪一個有錢的人的錢是靠拿工資賺來的，現在投資才是王道。

raise concern? no one else but only west  “raise” concern, why west does not concern how  much debt it imposed on developing countries with  highest interest debt  through US controlled world Bank and WMF in last 60 years  or its  weapon deals forced other nation to buy

引起關注？除了西方之外，這不會在其他國家“引起”關注。為什麼西方不關心它在過去60年裏通過美國控制的世界銀行和IMF以最高利息向發展中國家強加了多少債務，或者它們迫使其他國家購買了多少西方的武器？

This is not an investment for the convenience of Laos citizens and the economic development of Laos. It’s just an investment for exploitation, like many 19th and 20th century many imperialist countries built railroads in their colonies. In summary, China’s infrastructure investment will seriously undermine Laos’ sovereignty in the long run.

這不是為了方便老撾公民和老撾經濟發展而進行的投資。這只是一種剝削性的投資，就像19世紀和20世紀許多帝國主義國家在其殖民地修建鐵路一樣。總之，從長遠來看，中國的基礎設施投資將嚴重損害老撾的主權。

The whole 1000 km railway fare is about 400 CNY, I.e. $60 US dollars, considering that nyc taxi fares starts at $2.50 plus $1.56 per km, 1000kms can easily costs $1562.5 in total, 25 times more expensive.

整個1000公里的鐵路票價約為400元人民幣，即60美元。對比一下，紐約市出租車的起價為2.50美元加上每公里1.56美元，1000公里的總支出很輕鬆就達到了1562.5美元，這是鐵路票價的25倍。

As an example, Sri Lanka is currently facing high international sovereign debt, but it is Japan, the World Bank  who are the largest debtors, and the debt of the Chinese-run Hambantota port accounted for only 5% of Sri Lanka’s external debt . Take Africa as an example: multilateral financial institutions and commercial creditors hold more than 3/4 of the overall external debt of African countries. The global financial system represented by the World Bank and the IMF is designed to perpetuate the North-South divide, perpetuating the dependence and subjection of the Southern hemisphere (emerging economies) to the Northern hemisphere (developed countries). Seventy years after Bretton Woods, they have also failed to have a positive impact on African economies. Most countries in Africa, including Zimbabwe, are trapped in a severe debt trap from which they are still trying to escape until now. What were the consequences of colonial expansion from the 16th century onwards for the colonies?The hype about floods in China resulted in floods in Western Europe and India following, and the hype about an energy crisis in China resulted in an energy crisis around the world following. The vested interests, the rule makers never want others to do better than they do, but when Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman？

例如，斯里蘭卡目前面臨着高額的國際主權債務，但最大的債務方是日本和世界銀行，而中國經營的漢班託塔港的債務只佔斯里蘭卡外債的5%。

以非洲為例：多邊金融機構和商業債權人持有非洲國家全部外債的3/4以上。以世界銀行和國際貨幣基金組織為代表的全球金融體系旨在使南北分裂永久化，使南半球（新興經濟體）長期依賴北半球（發達國家）並使其服從北半球。佈雷頓森林體系建立70年後，它們也未能對非洲經濟產生積極影響。包括津巴布韋在內的大多數非洲國家都陷入了嚴重的債務陷阱，直到現在它們仍在試圖擺脱這一陷阱。從16世紀開始的殖民擴張給殖民地帶來了什麼後果？關於中國洪水的炒作導致了西歐和印度的洪水，關於中國能源危機的炒作導致了世界各地的能源危機。既得利益者、規則制定者永遠不希望別人做得比他們好。

China needs to stop showing how much it cost in US dollars. People need to be educated in China’s currency . First, start showing in both, side by side so people can get a sense of how both currencies compare.

中國需要停止展示它用美元計價的成本，人們需要學着用人民幣計價。首先，一開始可以展示這兩種貨幣，並排展示它們，這樣人們就可以瞭解這兩種貨幣的比較情況。

0:40 “… it also raises concern about Laos being able to repay Chinese loans”

So you all know, the so called Sri Lanka Hanbantota Port project, for which Yindians claim as a Debt Trap, was a study made by Canada and seconded by Denmark. China’s only role in this project was lend money to Sri Lanka. But once money was given, IMF + World Bank bullied Sri Lanka to pay them money owed to them. THUS Sri Lank had no money to operate Hanbantota port properly.

0:40“……這也引起了人們對老撾能否償還中國貸款的擔憂”。

大家都知道，所謂的被印度人稱其為債務陷阱的斯里蘭卡漢班託塔港口項目，是由加拿大進行的，並得到了丹麥的支持的一項研究。中國在該項目中的唯一作用是向斯里蘭卡提供貸款，但一旦錢給了他們，國際貨幣基金組織+世界銀行就威逼斯里蘭卡償還欠他們的錢。因此，斯里蘭卡沒有足夠的資金來正常運營漢班託塔港。

Many comments don’t understand what goes inside the country.  It’s a debt trap.  Laos is defaulting on its 2021 loan of more than half a $billion and so the next yrs to come.  Laos credit rating got downgraded by all the world’s credit agencies.  Average factory workers make less than $120 monthly but 1kg of tilapia fish cost around $2 and electricity with one wall AC unit, small fridge, e-pot, 2 lights on at night will cost them $30.  Just think about it.  It’s corrupted to the core.

許多評論都不清楚老撾發生了什麼。這是一個債務陷阱，老撾在2021年正在拖欠超過5億美元的貸款，因此接下來的幾年也將如此，世界上所有的信用機構都下調了老撾的信用評級。那裏的工廠裏的工人的平均月收入不到120美元，但一公斤羅非魚的價格約為2美元，一個壁掛式空調、小冰箱、電飯鍋和兩盞夜燈的供電成本為30美元。想想看，它已經腐敗到核心了。
