on of the interviewed Laos representative said everything, US criticizes the china deal but do not make a better counteroffer if you want a country to be in a debt trap you do not make a project that will make the other governem make more money, like improving transportation transportation by rail is 15 times cheaper than by truck makes the country more competitive by lowering the cost of their products that would be a very bad trap do reporters on WSJ with their Havard degrees don't know that? they are publishing that because is what their public want to hear? or the US government is financing those videos?

People keep forgetting that the US was forced to drop bombs on Laos to stop the Ho Chi Minh Trail that went into Laos My mom was in Laos during the US bombings and said it HELPED SLOW DOWN THE SPREAD OF COMMUNISM All I keep reading in the comments section on this video is how China and Vietnam are so good I laugh at that because it’s Vietnam’s fault that the bombs were dropped and China “helped,” Laos built a railway…yeah…and choked Laos with an enormous financial debt that Laos can’t afford to pay I’ve lived in the US long enough to see both sides of the coin as I’m a Lao American Comment from : @JennaSakura |

I’m so confused …in USA after you graduated school you’re in debt school loans and you lucky got a job you’re in bigger debt of car loans and fewer years later if you can afford to borrow money to buy a house you’re in biggest debt in the rest of your life and after you died you still in debt…so what’s different in USA and other countries debt trap ?????

Sounds like US bombs in Laos is fine, but Chinese railway for boosting Laos economic growth is pretty harmful? Comment from : @KwakYork |

The loans of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group have political conditions with ulterior motives, while China's loans will not require democratization😂While IMF and World Bank loans come with ulterior political conditions, Chinese loans do not require democratization, opening up military bases, or depositing oil revenues in New York banks😂 Comment from : @StevenJingSunny |
