Has China's Belt and Road initiative impacted your country? Let us know in the comments below which country you're from and what are your thoughts on the New Silk Road to connect the world.
China exports corruption practice to other countries through belt and road initiative.at the end ,the countried have to give away their sovereignty to China as they failed to pay debt taken from China.
Channel NewsAsia Nice to see Anthony Morse doing this topic again. In 2014/15, he was the one who gave us the Silk Road documentary from China. This was waaaay before mainstream media picked up on it.
+Tekhelet75 thanks for the support! We've been covering China's New Silk Road for the past 4 years. You can watch it all on our website: www.channelnewsasia.com/new-silk-road
@damn right because Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch, the Indonesian people were being brain washed by the Western Media. You guys need to be forced to AND ruled by other race in order to get respect, that why you are respected white folks than the Chinese.
You are being paranoid and brainwashed by Western Media, the Chinese have never been interfered on other internal affairs nor they sent army to get what they want, including countries surrounding their country. They are all in businesses and trades.
CNA is based in Asia it aims for public info. without bias. Very good production and informative, this host is much better than the Western journalists.
Being from the US it has been eye opening watching these Silk Road documentaries. Being from the US I always have a somewhat distrust of China and some of their policies however when I see it costs a senior citizen couple 7500$ a year to live in a condo complex with nursing staff every 3 floors there are a lot of lessons we can learn here in the US. Just mind blowing the amount of economic zones and work being done by them around the world and neighbors.
NOT true. China has built many cities Big enough for 5,000,000 people and 2,000 people live there. LOL SeanP500. I lived and worked in Thailand, Cambodia, Lao and Vietnam for over 10 years and CHINA is NOT as popular with the locals in these Countries as the Chinese Government says!!
OK, calm your hormones down and cut ties with the neo-Nazi police state in China and let the CNA shills corrupt some bad herb. You will get over the fact that the US brings peace and prosperity and China is a refuge for slave owners and misanthropes of the worst sort. That is why HK is the way it is..the people have some freedom to not cower before the stinking ChiCom farts that run the cesspool that is China. And the ChiComs can't wait to kill everyone in HK. But alas, the media is watching. Read it and weep for those brave people in HK, taking on the scum of China.
@@danieljong8442 which country has China taken. The Chinese had stationed a huge garrison in Myanmar for 500 years from dynasty to dynasty and yet they had not colonised an inch of the land. The British came in they made the whole country their colony in a swift move. China will not interfere with the affairs of all the nations they befriended. The northern Burmese minorities actually attempted to affiliate themselves with PRC but never succeeded although the people of these regions learn Chinese language and also use Chinese currency for trade and celebrate Chinese festivities.
As an Accountant and Political Economist by profession, my perception is that, since the 1980s, the USA and its Western allies have been inciting and sponsoring devastating wars aimed at regime changes in order to maintain their geo-political interests. While China on the other hand has been busy focusing on economic growth and development, infrastructure investment linking many developed and developing countries and lifting up millions of Chinese and other countries citizens out of poverty. China has never invaded and changed regimes in any country in the world. China’s win-win model of international economic relations is the best model that makes the world a better place. Bravo China. You can all read more about the following; 1-AIIB(Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank),2-BRICS, 3-China’s Model of Economic Growth and Development.
A lot of people just repeat the same old lines about "debt trap" and have no clue what they are saying. China isn't charging high interest rates. These countries know full well what they are getting into. Stop insulting them by saying they don't know what they are doing. It's nothing more than jealous and/or racism that China is able to help these small and/or poor countries build infrastructure.
@@legaleagle9319 let me be clear here, I am not a fan of big country over taking or over riding poor and small country, by any means. But sometime, we have to applaud something good happenings, because the size of development going on, in poor countries with the help China is astronomical. Regardless which country tries to develop or provides the ad or loan, there is, was and will be always some motive behind it. US or other developed countries too, don't give ad or loans unless, it benefits them emancely. In regards to Sri Lanka part, Australia leased port of Darwin for 99 years too. Generally citizen don't know, was negotiated or behind the purpose. Sri Lanka govt can see benefits of leasing port to China. That may create job, etc, etc...Surely, Sri Lankan govt must of did so due diligence, like Australia. Every cash strip government wants extra fund to development or invest in the country. Who know what Sri Lanka took the loan for. Western government like US, UK or Australia love spreading propaganda, in fits of jealousy.

Hi Anthony, I wish you could visit Indonesia today as it joined One Belt One Road Initiative as well as Marine Silk Road with China. All your reports on OBOR initiative are really unbiased as you interviewed both sides of the people with respectful questions.
Good show! This show is very objective and you are reporting as you see it. The world will be a better place if countries are welcoming win-win projects like the belt and road initiative projects.
Win win my ass, it pushes poor countries to make unnecessary and unusable infrastructure for the purpose of pushing them into debt traps for china to reap full benefits from.
@@kemalrifky2190 What the hell of right do you have to decide who has the right to have infrastructure and who does not have ??? Modernization should achieve every human being and must do so. Step aside Kemal.
the average retirement payment(pension/social society) is only about $4000 - $6000 a year for a person. Considering they probably need to also spend on medical services and other things, it's really not that affordable to live there. It's in Guangxi, not Yunnan.
Consider the cities is filled with 10+million people each, you have to put some effort to squeeze in. Since the real estate market is a market, the living space of city is valued and therefore becoming more expensive. However, I admit that there are serious problem within.
Indeed an eye opening coverage that shows how far and wide such initiatives will cover. No wonder some Western countries are feeling the heat that their geopolitical coverage will be greatly contained in the very foreseeable future.
Hello Anthony, you are really neutral in reporting the Belt and Road Initiative projects in ASEAN countries, I love your style of reporting from different approach on economy benefits rather than political point of view as other reporters do. You did the right things and interviewed the right people to discuss the benefits of the projects for the locals. Keep the good works !.
No he is NOT neutral. Ever noticed that he NEVER ask any Governmental officials any "HARD" questions?!!! Always "KISSING" the Local Governmental officials ASSES!! Always !!! One example. The border area with Myanmar in the Northeast near Mulli, China. He asked a question and the local Chinese official says, "Yes, we like workers from Myanmar. We can pay them 20-30% less than a Chinese worker doing the same job !!!" Why didn't the interviewer say something as simple as "That's NOT right"!! Equal work equal pay. But he never does. One of the Biggest KISS-ASSES I've ever seen !!!
@@jonness8927 The same reason with Apple, H & M, Nike manufacturing in China because of cheaper labour costs so you don't need ask that question, even some Chinese opened up companies in neighboring countries to avoid "made in China" labels to export to US. It is a courtesy not chasing the answer as a good journalist.
I love this series. Thank you so much. On perhaps a larger point, I wish more people in the world can see the reporting from CNA. People need to have more diverse sources of information and perspectives.
in the next 10 years they all speak and think in Mandarin, tai laos has lost their identity and no one will care about tai-laos anymore they all assimilated

@@Metsada007 I don't have a problem with people believing in a God, what I do have a problem with, is when it's politicized and people interprets their religious texts literally without any form of critical thought on what it says and does to people.
In Europe they are link by road and railway. In the 70’s everyone is dreaming and talking about linking Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and all parts of Asia to China and later to Europe and Russia by land. Now it the time for us to enjoy traveling and connecting to each other by rail.
Even though these people are less than one per cent of the population, it looks like they are having around half the fun! I've never seen such giant water guns! What a party!
If you don't mind your neighbors pissing in the street and throwing their garbage on the street corner every night !!! Also having 10 million neighbors. I DON'T think China is for retirement !!!! Stay away from Thailand also!
The US tries its best to cast doubt and fear of the idea of Silk Road. Shipping products between countries is nothing new in the conduct of international business. In certain part of the world, shipping is not efficient and Silk Road is more efficient. In addition, there is a huge lack of infrastructures between the countries in Central China that prevent its development. The transportation in this region is extremely high. The US tries to convince Europe with success that the Silk Road only helps China to ship its products to Europe only and nothing will come back to China. Meaning the train return trip is empty. Only Italy take a different decision to join the development of the Silk Road. Italy is not doing well in spite of all the cooperation of the Europe Union and the US. Italy has the courage to open its eyes and to do more to make the change. Naturally the rest of Europe and the US start to label Italy as a bunch of idiots.
In 5 years, ASEAN will look so different from now. There will be many cities bigger and more modern than Singapore where so much more opportunities avail themselves easily. Singapore must appreciate what is happening around her and help her citizens to reap these opportunities as entrepreneurs, artists, educators, scientists, etc. It's no more viable to position Singapore as a "hub" for everything for only the "select". There are much bigger hubs with many more talents in ASEAN countries. Whatever we want to impress the world using the old paradigm cannot work anymore. No one cares about global rankings. What people want is happiness. And this comes from helping people succeed in their dreams. Dreams are for everyone. And everyone should be able to fulfill their dream in life. How did China do this for its 1.4bl people? How are they doing it for the rest of ASIA? It's not mind-boggling or scholarly but simply helping people to be happy. Once this principle is internalised and put into plans, investors will rush in. It's not about great systems. Systems will come later to support. Systems of themselves cannot sell without addressing people's needs first. This is what China stresses over and over - "What we do must be for the people. If it is not for the people, we won't do it We won't do it for profit." And yet, profit just rolls in. It's NATURE at work - sincerity, honesty and a thought for the fellow man.
I AM WATCHING THIS IN BARBADOS IN THE CARIBBEAN, IT IS MOST INFORMATIVE, A LOT OF PROGRESS IS BEING MADE IN THE REGION, THE YOUNG WILL BENIFIT FROM ALL THAT PROGRESS, CHINA IS DEFINATELY SPENDING ON THE YOUTH AND THAT IS GOOD FOR THE FUTURE. NOT EVEN AMERICA HAS THIS PROGRESSIVE APPROACH TOWARD THE YOUTH & JOBS.
That's why the CCP has 2,000,000 Chinese citizens in Concentration camps within their own borders. Oh and don't forget Tibet which is NOT Chinese but still occupied by China !!!
Kunming to Bangkok in less than 2 days by road is a bit unrealistic, unless you don't mind spending 15-18 hours in a car per day. There is no Kunming-Bangkok expressway, this is a misnomer. Instead, there's an 879km dual carriageway road from Bangkok to Chiang Khong (location of 4th Thai-Lao friendship bridge), of which only the first 35-50km out of Bangkok (depending on which road you use) are expressway. This section takes about 12 hours to drive. Then you need to spend about 30-45 mins crossing the border, longer during holiday periods. The 226km Lao section is hardly close to being an expressway. In fact, it's riddled with potholes and is no better than a country road. The last 20km from Na Teuy to Boten on the Lao-China border are in a terrible mess, especially the last couple of km which are dirt. The whole town is being remade for the China-Lao railway. It now takes 4 hours to travel between the Thai and Chinese borders through Laos. Then another hour or so to clear both Lao and Chinese customs, though if you arrive late in the afternoon and outside of a holiday period, it could be as little as 30 mins. Only the 671km section from Mohan to Kunming is truly an expressway, and takes about 10-12 hours to drive due to the winding nature of many sections. So overall, we're talking realistically, 2.5-3 days for a Kunming-Bangkok road journey unless you're a masochist. In any case, due to restrictions on both the Thai and Chinese sides, it is no longer possible to easily drive from Kunming to Bangkok or vice versa, although with a change of vehicles at the border, it can be done quite easily. With a Chinese car, you can drive to Huay Xai, on the Thai border, and with a Thai car, you can drive up to the Chinese customs post at Mohan. To cross into China/Thailand with a Thai/Chinese car respectively, a tour is required. Should China and Thailand agree to a bilateral agreement, this could change, but given Thailand's previous experiences with allowing Chinese cars in freely until 2016, I somehow doubt this will ever occur. Also, due to policies meant to mitigate against climate change, it is unlikely that either China or Thailand will reverse course and make it easier for private vehicles to cross each other's border. More than likely, it's the opposite, with train travel to be encouraged once the HSR link between Bangkok and Kunming via Laos is completed.
While China is busy building infrastructure to make trading easier, The US is slapping tariffs on just about everything, making trading harder. My, how have the tables turned.

Dude, the border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia ended in 2011; however, only last year there was a minor conflict between Cambodia and Laos though. The Thai/Burmese border is every bit as porous, if not more so, than the Chinese/Burmese border. It's possible to cross, with the permission of the Thai authorities at a number of locations along the border. These aren't official crossings, but they do allow day time access to villages on the Burmese side. There is also a shortcut through Burmese territory for Thai cars to get from one part of Tak province to another. No passport, visa or other permissions are required. However, access is only possible during the dry season.
China has built high speed rail,tunnels to Ruili and factories on the border with Myanmar.China is building a high speed rail,factories in Laos and Thailand.Vietnam has asked China to build two high speed rail lines to Hanoi and Hai Phong

China's One Belt One Road initiative is as much about the ability to move troops as it is to move goods. The French lent money to the Russians to build railroads to speed mobilization in case of war with Germany. The Nazis built the Autobahn to move troops across Germany. The Chinese are investing in infrastructure in specific countries in order to facilitate the movement of troops and equipment into the Middle East and Europe because they understand that in the event of war with the West, a land based war that plays to the size of their army is their best strategy. India understands this. That is why they do not wish to participate.
This BRI will benefit more the chinese BUT it is a win-win situation coz they will create by using their own people(by that the government can give jobs to their people) BUT your country can use it in a long run(having quality trains and roads) Lets looked at the bigger picture here, all these agreement have motives in it.but its a business you can invest without losing your company. Actually Im still self studying this BRI as I have still doubt about it coz of debt and other things like culture and stuff but lets see what china can bring

It's in Guangxi, not Yunnan.
Consider the cities is filled with 10+million people each, you have to put some effort to squeeze in. Since the real estate market is a market, the living space of city is valued and therefore becoming more expensive. However, I admit that there are serious problem within.
China has 1.4 billion people, but those 20-30% (still a lot )folks are just as rich as most people in the world.
Indeed an eye opening coverage that shows how far and wide such initiatives will cover. No wonder some Western countries are feeling the heat that their geopolitical coverage will be greatly contained in the very foreseeable future.
Hello Anthony, you are really neutral in reporting the Belt and Road Initiative projects in ASEAN countries, I love your style of reporting from different approach on economy benefits rather than political point of view as other reporters do. You did the right things and interviewed the right people to discuss the benefits of the projects for the locals. Keep the good works !.
No he is NOT neutral. Ever noticed that he NEVER ask any Governmental officials any "HARD" questions?!!! Always "KISSING" the Local Governmental officials ASSES!! Always !!! One example. The border area with Myanmar in the Northeast near Mulli, China. He asked a question and the local Chinese official says, "Yes, we like workers from Myanmar. We can pay them 20-30% less than a Chinese worker doing the same job !!!" Why didn't the interviewer say something as simple as "That's NOT right"!! Equal work equal pay. But he never does. One of the Biggest KISS-ASSES I've ever seen !!!
@@jonness8927 The same reason with Apple, H & M, Nike manufacturing in China because of cheaper labour costs so you don't need ask that question, even some Chinese opened up companies in neighboring countries to avoid "made in China" labels to export to US. It is a courtesy not chasing the answer as a good journalist.
Thank you to the Asean leaders
Please Mr Vorachith take care of the Lao’ s peoples make Lao better
Thank you with love from Lao
I love this series. Thank you so much. On perhaps a larger point, I wish more people in the world can see the reporting from CNA. People need to have more diverse sources of information and perspectives.
Long live my Dai , Tai , Thai people where ever you are don't forget your language and culture.
Ubon94 yes, i love you from a Thai man.
Lao, too. Brother!
in the next 10 years they all speak and think in Mandarin, tai laos has lost their identity and no one will care about tai-laos anymore they all assimilated
My wife is "Lisu" (N.W. Yunnan province) and they are neighbors with the "Dai" in China !! Lisu are also in Northwestern Thailand, Northeastern Myanmar and the far Northeast of India.
@@somsatxayalat I am American and I love Lao !!! I have many friends there.
Love China from Singapore, you're our motherland
agreed
wow that’s surprising me
That is because China is not a country but a culture. The US is a country.
Quite surprised there is finally someone that recognizes this

Westerner don't believe one country two systems will occur in Hong Kong, but it does.
You can find both socialism and capitalism in China and works fine.
Different culture , different races,different religions live together peacefully.
You can find any terrain on the earth in China.
Any invader from outside finally became Chinese in history,we share the same culture.
This culture last over 3000 years and still keep going.
China is not just a Nation State,china is a civilization,china is a world.
This is China!
china is a cult
China is a country, with its finely unified culture being firmly accepted and respected by most of its population, and is interested by others beyond its border.
Yes it's help to grow the economy of my country🇵🇭
no
Yes
中国人总是觉得，如果自己的客户有钱了，那我们的生意可以做的更好。而美国人觉得，那些穷的国家应该保持他们的传统（穷），来体现他们的富有。
是的，帮助非洲，非洲富了会买更多我们的东西，帮巴基斯坦修水电站，因为巴基斯坦一个两亿人左右的国家，如果电力有了保障，大家都会花钱买电器了，制造电器的不用说，都是中国的。
I'm waiting for the day when I can travel from China to Singapore by bullet train and it will become a reality.
You and a bunch of other tourist! Won't see "ANY" Locals on the train with you because they can't AFFORD a ticket for the train !!! FACT !!!!
Wonderful presentation. Keep up the hard work.
I would like to see Anthony in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia regarding to Belt and Road Initiative projects in those countries.
CHINA & SERBIA = cooperation & friendship !!!!!
Beautiful documentary and great work !
Very informative video. Thank you CNA!
China best country in the world!!!!!!!!!!
South East Asia,china,japan,korea should unite like eyourop union.
Yes!
Japan and China won’t unite I think bcz of WW II of what Japanese done to China.. Japan is expected to stick with US…

Religion is still a huge problem, but I believe we can eventually overcome that too in the long term. When we get rid of religion and nationalism, we will reach the stars.
@@Metsada007 I don't have a problem with people believing in a God, what I do have a problem with, is when it's politicized and people interprets their religious texts literally without any form of critical thought on what it says and does to people.
These kids are so cute ! I see happniess in their face. Really happy for them.
If we open up schools to train those kids to become engineers, accountants and doctors who would want to risk their lives to traffic drugs?
It’s such an interesting initiative
Absolutely appreciate this show
very nice border, very peacefull and integrated.
Another great video. Anthony Morse is perfect. Building Bridges. big hug..
In Europe they are link by road and railway. In the 70’s everyone is dreaming and talking about linking Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and all parts of Asia to China and later to Europe and Russia by land. Now it the time for us to enjoy traveling and connecting to each other by rail.

Even though these people are less than one per cent of the population, it looks like they are having around half the fun! I've never seen such giant water guns! What a party!
$7800.00 per year to stay at a retirement villa, its worth retiring now!!
If you don't mind your neighbors pissing in the street and throwing their garbage on the street corner every night !!! Also having 10 million neighbors. I DON'T think China is for retirement !!!! Stay away from Thailand also!
Unlimited growth without destruction of the planet, animal, as its people is not possible. But both Powers are exactly doing that!

And the sooner the USA Bombs China the better for the World. It's coming so we might as well just finish it. Russia too while we're at it!!!
The OBI has reached every part of ASEAN.There are high speed rail and highways in Laos,Thailand,Myanmar,Malaysia,Vietnam,Philippines,and Indonesia
There are NO OBI projects in Thailand today! April/2021. Name one ? Probably not in Vietnam also or the Philippines.
The US tries its best to cast doubt and fear of the idea of Silk Road. Shipping products between countries is nothing new in the conduct of international business. In certain part of the world, shipping is not efficient and Silk Road is more efficient. In addition, there is a huge lack of infrastructures between the countries in Central China that prevent its development. The transportation in this region is extremely high. The US tries to convince Europe with success that the Silk Road only helps China to ship its products to Europe only and nothing will come back to China. Meaning the train return trip is empty. Only Italy take a different decision to join the development of the Silk Road. Italy is not doing well in spite of all the cooperation of the Europe Union and the US. Italy has the courage to open its eyes and to do more to make the change. Naturally the rest of Europe and the US start to label Italy as a bunch of idiots.
Build Roads, Trade, Get Rich For All. Simple as that.

In 5 years, ASEAN will look so different from now. There will be many cities bigger and more modern than Singapore where so much more opportunities avail themselves easily. Singapore must appreciate what is happening around her and help her citizens to reap these opportunities as entrepreneurs, artists, educators, scientists, etc. It's no more viable to position Singapore as a "hub" for everything for only the "select". There are much bigger hubs with many more talents in ASEAN countries. Whatever we want to impress the world using the old paradigm cannot work anymore. No one cares about global rankings. What people want is happiness. And this comes from helping people succeed in their dreams. Dreams are for everyone. And everyone should be able to fulfill their dream in life. How did China do this for its 1.4bl people? How are they doing it for the rest of ASIA? It's not mind-boggling or scholarly but simply helping people to be happy. Once this principle is internalised and put into plans, investors will rush in. It's not about great systems. Systems will come later to support. Systems of themselves cannot sell without addressing people's needs first. This is what China stresses over and over - "What we do must be for the people. If it is not for the people, we won't do it We won't do it for profit." And yet, profit just rolls in. It's NATURE at work - sincerity, honesty and a thought for the fellow man.
World is one. The best religion is humanity.
I AM WATCHING THIS IN BARBADOS IN THE CARIBBEAN, IT IS MOST INFORMATIVE, A LOT OF PROGRESS IS BEING MADE IN THE REGION, THE YOUNG WILL BENIFIT FROM ALL THAT PROGRESS, CHINA IS DEFINATELY SPENDING ON THE YOUTH AND THAT IS GOOD FOR THE FUTURE. NOT EVEN AMERICA HAS THIS PROGRESSIVE APPROACH TOWARD THE YOUTH & JOBS.
I would see some things like that from UK after 500 years of robbery around the world
Stop calling Southeast Asian Indochina 🤦🏻♂️
Chinese culture prompts progress and peace.
That's why the CCP has 2,000,000 Chinese citizens in Concentration camps within their own borders. Oh and don't forget Tibet which is NOT Chinese but still occupied by China !!!
love this video.
May be some how poor compared to the west, but for sure, They are happy, innocent and good people! Love Asian people from Africa!!!
Kunming to Bangkok in less than 2 days by road is a bit unrealistic, unless you don't mind spending 15-18 hours in a car per day. There is no Kunming-Bangkok expressway, this is a misnomer. Instead, there's an 879km dual carriageway road from Bangkok to Chiang Khong (location of 4th Thai-Lao friendship bridge), of which only the first 35-50km out of Bangkok (depending on which road you use) are expressway. This section takes about 12 hours to drive. Then you need to spend about 30-45 mins crossing the border, longer during holiday periods.
The 226km Lao section is hardly close to being an expressway. In fact, it's riddled with potholes and is no better than a country road. The last 20km from Na Teuy to Boten on the Lao-China border are in a terrible mess, especially the last couple of km which are dirt. The whole town is being remade for the China-Lao railway. It now takes 4 hours to travel between the Thai and Chinese borders through Laos. Then another hour or so to clear both Lao and Chinese customs, though if you arrive late in the afternoon and outside of a holiday period, it could be as little as 30 mins.
Only the 671km section from Mohan to Kunming is truly an expressway, and takes about 10-12 hours to drive due to the winding nature of many sections. So overall, we're talking realistically, 2.5-3 days for a Kunming-Bangkok road journey unless you're a masochist.
In any case, due to restrictions on both the Thai and Chinese sides, it is no longer possible to easily drive from Kunming to Bangkok or vice versa, although with a change of vehicles at the border, it can be done quite easily.
With a Chinese car, you can drive to Huay Xai, on the Thai border, and with a Thai car, you can drive up to the Chinese customs post at Mohan. To cross into China/Thailand with a Thai/Chinese car respectively, a tour is required. Should China and Thailand agree to a bilateral agreement, this could change, but given Thailand's previous experiences with allowing Chinese cars in freely until 2016, I somehow doubt this will ever occur. Also, due to policies meant to mitigate against climate change, it is unlikely that either China or Thailand will reverse course and make it easier for private vehicles to cross each other's border. More than likely, it's the opposite, with train travel to be encouraged once the HSR link between Bangkok and Kunming via Laos is completed.
While China is busy building infrastructure to make trading easier, The US is slapping tariffs on just about everything, making trading harder. My, how have the tables turned.
God Bless
In India in Tirhut region of north Bihar similar water festival is celebrated in mid April,playing with ware. It is called Jur shital,blessed with cool water.So far yet so near
Blame to the US in contrast to blessing to China; Belt and Road initiative playing a whole lot of influence indeed; the course of mankind history being changed by this; Xi Jin Ping going to be recorded in the book of world history as the inventor and initiator of this unbelievable brilliant idea; it really being a dong feng (DF=east wind, adopted to name all Chinese missiles) A voice of someone watching this global event from Thailand

Dude, the border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia ended in 2011; however, only last year there was a minor conflict between Cambodia and Laos though.
The Thai/Burmese border is every bit as porous, if not more so, than the Chinese/Burmese border. It's possible to cross, with the permission of the Thai authorities at a number of locations along the border. These aren't official crossings, but they do allow day time access to villages on the Burmese side. There is also a shortcut through Burmese territory for Thai cars to get from one part of Tak province to another. No passport, visa or other permissions are required. However, access is only possible during the dry season.
cambodia has confilict with vietnam all the time
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. INTERESTING.
Im excited To the Silk road but im philippines
As the saying goes.dont underestimate your enemy...
China has built high speed rail,tunnels to Ruili and factories on the border with Myanmar.China is building a high speed rail,factories in Laos and Thailand.Vietnam has asked China to build two high speed rail lines to Hanoi and Hai Phong
no, vietnam did not, china would not either,
Good show
ASEAN all signed up for the OBI.Even Vietnam is building two high speed rail from Loa Cai and Dong Dang to Hanoi and Haiphong

🙏👌👍🌹why western journalists do not report the bright side of belt & road?🤔
Because the ONLY bright side is for the Chinese Government !!!
can see many of china construction developer appearing at my country from different cities and states, wonder it is a good things or not. I'm from Malaysia
China's One Belt One Road initiative is as much about the ability to move troops as it is to move goods. The French lent money to the Russians to build railroads to speed mobilization in case of war with Germany. The Nazis built the Autobahn to move troops across Germany. The Chinese are investing in infrastructure in specific countries in order to facilitate the movement of troops and equipment into the Middle East and Europe because they understand that in the event of war with the West, a land based war that plays to the size of their army is their best strategy. India understands this. That is why they do not wish to participate.
beautiful
This BRI will benefit more the chinese BUT it is a win-win situation coz they will create by using their own people(by that the government can give jobs to their people) BUT your country can use it in a long run(having quality trains and roads) Lets looked at the bigger picture here, all these agreement have motives in it.but its a business you can invest without losing your company.
Actually Im still self studying this BRI as I have still doubt about it coz of debt and other things like culture and stuff but lets see what china can bring
Support and love China 👏👏👏👍👍👍
