Vietnam's delay in the Trans-Asian Railway made Laos think that the Vientiane hub was better than Hanoi

Twenty years ago, the Third Ring Road of Chengdu was used by farmers to dry the bud valley. At that time, the scolding was overwhelming. After a few years, some people complained that the road was too narrow.

So, shouldn't China make high-speed rail popular? There are many industries and jobs that can be driven by the construction of high-speed rail.

In densely populated areas, building high-speed rail can speed up the flow of people.

If there are people, there will be development. In this way, the flow of people is distributed along the high-speed railway, driving clothing, food, housing, travel, shopping and entertainment, so there is a kilometer of high-speed rail, if the first-class seat of high-speed rail is calculated according to 0.74 yuan, the overall income can eventually be 8 yuan.

More than a year after the opening of the China-Laos Railway, this year's tourism in Xishuangbanna is simply explosive!

The China-Laos Railway will surely benefit the people of China and Laos.

Everyone loves good things.

The speed of the China-Laos Railway is fast enough at 160 kilometers per hour.

It was supposed to be the first Vietnam to open the North-South high-speed railway, but it chose Japan, and it is still far away.

It is the China-Laos Railway that makes Laos' infrastructure, especially railways, "soar"!

This is the strength of China! The ratio of bridges and tunnels of the China-Laos Railway is 87%, which is several percentages higher than that of Guizhou, which shows the great difficulty, and the high level of design, construction and construction.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. China advocates that everyone can earn money together, and what the United States wants is that the United States makes everyone's money. If it weren't for the United States' uproar, China would not have been able to connect the whole world by rail in 20 years! At that time, you could see the global landscape by high-speed train.

The United States is mainly strong in chips, large aircraft and other high-tech to suppress China.

On high-speed rail, the United States is far behind the world, and it is France, Japan and other countries that compete with China in the world.

Like Vietnam is typical, bidding with Japan, and finally Japan successfully signed a contract for the North-South high-speed railway in Vietnam, but Japan's procrastination is far away. Indonesia also started with Japan winning the bid and eventually passed it to China.

Cambodia is in the south of Laos. Cambodia is working hard to build a railway from Sihanoukville ~ Phnom Penh to connect Pakse ~ Vientiane in Laos and get out of the traffic dilemma.

Vietnam's delay in the Trans-Asian Railway made Laos think that the Vientiane hub was better than Hanoi

In this way, it would be better if China's railway network were extended to ports on the coast of the Indochina Peninsula. Goods from southwest China can be transported to seaside terminals via this railway, making it easier to export to Southeast Asia.

Laos has a port, but it is a river port, not a maritime port.

With a speed of 160 kilometers per hour, the China-Laos Kunwan Railway is the fastest railway in Southeast Asia and is used for both passengers and cargo. There are more freight cars than passenger cars, but passenger trains are faster and freight trains are slower.

It has been more than a year since the China-Laos Railway was opened to traffic. Laos has accelerated the development along the line, expanded regional connectivity, and continuously improved the comprehensive efficiency of the railway. The China-Laos Railway greatly facilitates people's travel, promotes commodity production and export, attracts a large number of tourists to visit Laos, and achieves a double harvest of economic and social benefits.

Along the China-Laos Railway, Cambodia is bordered to the south, Vietnam to the east, and Thailand to the west.

Before the completion and opening of the China-Laos Railway, Laos originally had a 3.5-kilometer railway, which was an extension of the Bangkok-Nong Khai meter gauge railway in Thailand. The extension was built before 2015 when the Kunman Highway was built, with a dual-purpose bridge between Nong Khai and Vientiane. The lower layer is a meter-gauge single line, the upper layer is a road double line, and a 3.5-kilometer extension line and a railway freight station have been built in Vientiane, all funded by the Thai side. The current China-Laos Railway can be directly connected to Thailand by changing tracks at this freight station. At the same time, the Thai side also built a Vientiane East Passenger Transport Station for Laos a few years ago, and the railway passenger transport from Laos to Thailand used this station. The Vientiane Station built with Chinese assistance is the starting and final arrival station of the China-Laos Railway passenger transport.

If the Thai section of the China-Laos-Thailand Standard Gauge Railway is completed in 2028, the entire line will not need to change tracks; And the operating speed and capacity of the Thai section will be greatly improved, and the role of the railway channel will be huge!

Southeast Asian Railway is meter gauge, Japan Railway is 1.2 meter gauge, and China Railway is 1.435 m gauge. The gauge is not the same.

Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam seize the opportunity to have modern quasi-gauge railways. Otherwise, it is marginalized.

Vietnam's delay in the Trans-Asian Railway made Laos think that the Vientiane hub was better than Hanoi

Therefore, Vietnam with more than 90 million people, Myanmar with more than 60 million people, and Cambodia with 20 million people will not be bad in terms of benefits.

Even if the China-Myanmar railway in Yunnan takes the Qingshui River out of the country to Lashio, because the Wangjiazhai Tunnel of the Lincang to Qingshuihe Expressway has been under construction for many years, waiting for it to open to traffic after the end of 2023. Therefore, the construction of the Lincang-Qingshuihe railway, which is already under construction in the EIA, should be more difficult than that of the Linqing Expressway.

Compared with Yunnan and Myanmar, Yunnan has a poor geographical location and poor terrain conditions, while Myanmar has a good geographical location and good terrain conditions. However, Yunnan has been building highways, railways, and high-speed railways, and the Myanmar government has not focused on building roads, and Myanmar is busy with wars and elections. As a result, compared to GDP per capita, Yunnan is $9,000 and Myanmar is only $1,200. Therefore, Myanmar must focus on economic construction projects, otherwise the gap with Yunnan is getting bigger and bigger.

There is an agreement on the national border between China and Myanmar. If the Burmese military junta, condemned by the United States, insists on focusing on economic construction, it must build the China-Myanmar railway.

After the completion of the China-Myanmar Railway, all parties in China and Myanmar will share a win-win situation.

Progress has been made in the shaft and inclined shaft of the construction face of the Gaoligongshan Railway Tunnel from Baoshan to Ruili, and the Baorui Railway may be opened to traffic after 2025.

Myanmar is studying the feasibility study report on the Mujie-Mandalay section, which will be passed by the EIA in July 2023 at the earliest, and open to traffic as soon as 2027.

As for the China-Myanmar railway from Mandalay to Kyaukpyu port, which China is looking forward to, the results of the study have not yet begun.

Therefore, it will take longer for the China-Myanmar railway from Baoshan to Ruili to Mujie to Lashio to Mandalay to Kyaukpyu Port to be opened.

Vietnam is wary of China. Vietnam's idea of asking Japan to build the North-South high-speed railway is very good. Is there still money in Japan? How many years does Vietnam want to build this project of north-south high-speed rail? It is estimated that by then, all countries in Southeast Asia will have high-speed railways and are interconnected, and Japan has not actually begun construction.

Vietnam's embarrassment to Japan is still aimed at trapping Chinese companies in the debt trap of Vietnam's South Hanoi light rail.

Therefore, the quasi-gauge railways in Cambodia and Laos should be set up first. The twisted Thailand-China-Thailand high-speed railway can be twisted to death.

Now, the cost of quasi-gauge high-speed rail is getting higher and higher. In another decade, China will not be able to do anything.

At present, China's dollar is still rich, and it is difficult to say in the next decade.

Cambodia seizes the opportunity, that is, China ~ Laos ~ Cambodia Phnom Penh This railway runs through the Indochina Peninsula!

Once built, it will end up with Laos, Cambodia and China profiting. In this way, the economic integration of Cambodia, Laos, China.

After the money was in place, the railway was opened to traffic for three or four years. The China-Laos railway method can continue to be used, with China contributing 70% and the countries concerned contributing 30%, which will be operated by the China Railway Corporation. Finally, when the country concerned is able, it will repay the Chinese investment.

The beautiful mountains, rivers and minerals of Laos, the lakes, beaches and rice of Cambodia will welcome Chinese businessmen and tourists.

The annual per capita GDP of Cambodia and Laos will not be about $2,000 now, at least $7,000, catching up with the lowest provinces in China with an annual per capita GDP of $12,800.

In that way, Cambodia and Laos will not be blind to the tropical rainforest so good geographical conditions to live a poor life.

At that time, Cambodian Laotian people can also come to China to travel to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an and other places, and Cambodian Laotian people will not even travel to China next to them in their lives.

The construction of Cambodia's quasi-gauge railway to Thailand and Laos is conducive to the development of land resources and fishery resources in the Cambodian plain.

With the quasi-gauge railway built by China, Cambodia's ecological economy has developed rapidly. Cambodia's rice production in 2022 is expected to be 9.61 million tons.

Currently, Cambodia produces an average of 3.295 tonnes/ha during the rainy and dry seasons. Among them, the yield of rainy season rice was 3.052 tons/ha and the yield of dry season rice was 4.46 tons/ha.

Cambodian rice yields 878 kilograms per acre per year.

China's rice mu yield is generally about 500-600 kg per season. If there are two crops of rice and three crops of rice, the yield will generally double or so. Cambodia also has a 10 per cent potential if rice is produced according to Chinese technology, at the minimum yield. In addition, Cambodia also has the potential to grow rice in large plains.

Cambodia has great potential to develop into an ecological agricultural country and meet China's needs.

Many Chinese are looking forward to eating real Cambodian rice from Southeast Asia.
