General Cheng remains one of Laos's most powerful figures for a multitude of reasons. He runs the Mountainous Area Development Company (BPKP), one of the biggest logging companies in Laos. While they face accusations of destroying the forest, the company itself claims it is the forest's guardian: "It's not so high, 600,000 cubic metres - it's not too much. There's only one factory in Malaysia, only one factory," says one director on the company's production. Cheng also conveniently runs the Human Resettlement Programme, set up to relocate local people from the forest where his company logs. The programme exists to protect the forest, as the traditional "slash and burn" method used by locals is destroying the forest. Many locals have been moved to villages created by BPKP, but with no land, no job prospects, and no chance of selling the house given to them by BPKP, the future looks bleak. Cheng not only wields influence over business; he owns his own private zoo, which he claims protects vulnerable species affected by logging, and a school populated by village children taken from their families by the BPKP. ABC Australia interviews Cheng himself, and well as individuals involved in his various ventures, in a profile of man with ever expanding influence.

General Chan is proof that idiots rule
Only one man destroying the whole natural world of laos including its people its animals its vegetation and decides himself for so many creatures and lives. This is horrendous and horrific. This should be stopped and there should be a revolt against such havoc..
This is what every country does wanting to move out of the dark ages and move ahead- it's so sad, but it's what happened every time.. Not the fault of the General for wanting better for his people when he is following EXACTLY what the west did and still does to get ahead.
Well said ... we want them to keep their traditions and ways... but they want candy bars, electronic toys and adult toys.... lol
no, he wants everything for him, a dictator..
Except the "west" has nothing to do with this video
So, what has happened in the 22 years since then?
Everything got better.
Wow- Mother Earth and her indigenous people being wiped out😣
