Comment from : @jamesfederer5592

$6B? That's like half of the cost to build a railway station in rural America Debt trap or not, it's a good deal
Comment from : @wshtb

West alway talking about debt trap, losers
Comment from : @user1234-n7n

China builds infrastructure that countries wantbrbrThe USA cannot build infrastructure as its own infrastructure is still in the 18th centurybrbrCountries need ports, rail networks etcbrbrNot the latest 5th gen fighter(thats all the US ever offers)
Comment from : @JohnJones-k9d

Sri Lanka debt crisis had NOTHING to do with Chinese loans Most of Sri Lankan debt was to Western lenders, so stop lying here!

Who doesn't love this trap it's really good trap that bring development to it's people
Comment from : @erniesagoe

Great China ❤ builds and connects world, love from Pakistan ❤
Comment from : @KidsAccount-t1o

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?
Comment from : @rlobo85

Why can't USA and India build high-speed rail because the capital only pursues profits not national interests Stop poisoning others
Comment from : @Coorparooqld

Steal raw materials from poor countries and produce high cost products in your own Prefect plan 😂😂😂😂
Comment from : @TomCotton-p6y

it is so funny to see some american in comments tried to put chinese investments are worse than all the bombs they threw in Laos 🤣

6b sounds cheap
Comment from : @alii303

This video explores a controversial perspective: developing nations are often expected to endure US military actions without question, yet their acceptance of China's development projects is met with criticism
Comment from : @Earth-Oliver

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 : @michelwong1

I knew what your game is in bringing this subject to light, with a fake pretence of showing china's gains You never point and compare what USA has done for the world poor ever, except for warmongering opressing and murdering people USA and other colonizers had never looked out to help anyone but their greedy self, and you should shut your mouth and never claim lies that you are misinformed about
Comment from : @miroslavcerina98

Comment from : @heyyuyeung8729

This particular infrastructure program looks to be beneficial, not only for China and Laos, but also Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore

Comment from : @fajarcahyono3693

Maybe if Laos really fall into the debt-trap the USA can export a little bit of their democracy there to help them
Comment from : @boorrito2

Good work China, instead of funding war's you fund infrastructure 👍
Comment from : @wimokaharawira8443

Laos needs another rail line to connect to sea port in Vietnam and waterway transportation through Mekong river down stream to Phnompenh and Can Tho I think the US should help Laos develop these 2 projects

USA had bombed Laos so heavily and unnecessarily Laos was the most bombed nation in the world, 260mln bombs by USA!!! Laos had zero threat to USA Instead of congratulating Laos, the West media is bad mouthing it Tragic!
Comment from : @soonhockchua3740

When western aren't able to compete fair and square they have to make sure other can't So they create propaganda about Debt trap strange though, China BRI has more and more countries that want to have project with China Western can only criticize, but they have done nothing to help poor country except the one that has ressources to loot
Comment from : @geektechpow4537

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 ?????
Comment from : @stevenyellow7638

Americas Propoganda about China is " China Debt Trap"
Comment from : @arimjs1839

US also has massive debt, no high speed rail though
Comment from : @ruifenghuang1029

Well, Vietnam just signed-on for a similar rail project after seeing it's neighbor prosper from this so I guess that answers the question

Comment from : @yeeybe875

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 : @dariomendoza191

What people don't get is that having a debt of 90 of GDP is nothing when your country has a GDP per capita of $2000 There are straightforward economic playbooks to increase a GDP that low by 4x-5x
Comment from : @torginus

you are right about the environemental concerns but i'm still glad that they've built a railway instead of a 20 lane road for cars and trucks
