It will become a stronghold of the chinese influence in laos in which no one , I repeat - NO ONE - will be able to mess with them and will eventually look and feel like another province of china south of yunnan. Don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this out.
Wow, it is really good project for our country, especially for Bokeo people. If this kind of projects is in every province of Laos, our people life would be improved definitely soon. " No matter of colour of a cat, as long as the cat can help catch a mouse we always welcome"(TSP)
i visited south china few years ago, many big buildings, hotels.... but the real life of most people in that province even much worse than laos. there are so many poor people. we should be proud to be lao in real laos.
We, the Lao people never afraid of influence from another nations, as you know many big nations around Laos, but we can preserve our traditional and cultures in the Lao way. Laos is not lonely, he is the member of Asean.
