The Belt and Road Initiative, making friends from all over the world.
China's high-speed rail connects the chain of friendship.
The construction of the Trans-Asian Railway must be accelerated.
Since 2024, with the optimization of customs clearance policies between China and Vietnam, a large number of Viet Nam tourists have entered Yunnan through the China River Estuary-Viet Nam Lao Cai Port, and traveled north to Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La and other places by high-speed train through the Kunhe Railway and Mimeng Railway. In response to the increasing popularity of motor train travel among Viet Nam tourists, the railway department launched the "Mountains and Rivers Connected - China-Vietnam Friendship" tourist train. Viet Nam tour guide said that taking the train not only shortens the time, but also makes the journey more comfortable, and at present, Viet Nam tourists join the group tour in Yunnan, first of all, they must ask whether they take the high-speed rail train during the journey. As of July 15, Yunnan Hekou North Railway Station and Honghe Railway Station will receive 10,790 inbound tourists from Viet Nam in 2024.
Truth be told, where did a country like Laos have any public works and transport railways in the past?
Strictly speaking, the whole country of Laos does not have a decent road, and the railway is like a few hundred meters of the cecum as a "railway" attached to the Thailand Railway.
Through the marriage between Chinese and Laotians, the daily videos of life posted by Chinese can know that Laos is quite primitive, and most people still like to eat wild vegetables and live a self-sufficient agricultural life.
If it weren't for China's vigorous efforts to help with construction, Laos would not have electricity now.
Public investment in Laos is unthinkable.
For Laos, the China-Laos Railway can really be said to have finally dawned in thousands of years.
As long as you keep the down-to-earth simplicity that is unique to the Laotians, a warm little day can be said to be a very certain thing.
The Philippines and Myanmar are lessons learned.
The national character of Laotians is more down-to-earth, and everyone who pays will be rewarded, basically to achieve the greatest degree of fairness, which can be clearly felt from the video of almost all Chinese living in Laos.
For Thailand, if the beautiful Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is not overthrown, the 250 km/h Sino-Thai high-speed railway in Thailand has long been opened, and a three-hour high-speed rail ride from Bangkok to Vientiane, Laos is enough!
Currently, the passage between the border between Thailand and Laos is a meter-gauge train. The railway bridge also shares the same bridge as the car bridge. The car has to stop when the train is on, and the train has to stop when the car is on.
The Thai-Laos Railway is a meter-gauge railway, which has been built for more than ten years and has finally been opened to traffic.
If it's a high-speed rail, it's definitely on fire!
The more than 600 kilometers from Bangkok to Nong Khai take a 12-hour train with a speed of 30 or 40 kilometers per hour on the meter gauge and then connect to the China-Laos Railway through the connecting line, and the comfort of the journey is very poor. 12 hours is a bit long, it would be nice to shorten it to less than 6 hours!
The real significance is container freight in Thailand.
The Laos lion opened his mouth, not only did Thailand's goods take the China-Laos railway, but they also had to pay expensive transit fees to Laos, or Thailand's agricultural products were sold to Laos at a super low price and then sold to China at a high price. This is the money that smart Laotians should make from Thailand.
Thailand's high-speed rail is still under construction and will be repaired by 2030. Thailand is in a hurry. I want to go north to China to sell durian, for fear that Viet Nam will take the lead.
In this way, before the opening of the China-Laos-Thailand railway with a design speed of 250 kilometers per hour in 2029, the old meter-gauge train and old railway from Vientiane, Laos to Bangkok, Thailand will be repaired and opened! From now on, in Laos, you can take the train to Thailand.
If you want to take a train from Kunming, China to Thailand, you only need a car connection between Vientiane Station on the international standard gauge and Vientiane Station on the meter-gauge railway.
Not only the China-Laos Railway international passenger trains, but also the cross-border traffic between Laos and Thailand is convenient.
If you go to the Mekong Night Market on the edge of Vientiane, you can see the food and the lively scene.
If you take the international passenger train of the China-Laos Railway, when you arrive at the Lao Boten station on the China-Laos border, the staff on the train will confirm with the passengers whether they have a Lao visa. If not, let go to the highway port to do it. Railway crossings are not available. Then, come back to catch the train.
For Chinese tourists who want to travel along the railway lines of Thailand and Laos, you can choose "Youdao Interpreter" for language exchange, and accommodation reservations can be made on Ctrip. However, note: foreign hotels must have a QQ email address or other email address. Otherwise, it cannot be ordered.
There is no railway connection between the Vientiane Railway Station of the metre gauge railway and the Vientiane station of the China-Laos Railway in the international standard gauge.
In the future, it will be necessary to build two railways in one station, which will be more effective.
The railway integration of Thailand and Laos is about equal to economic integration.
Under the leadership of the China-Laos Railway, the trend of these two countries taking the locomotive of China's economy is becoming increasingly prominent.
Laos and Thailand are close to China!
Thailand has finally figured it out and opened an international passenger train to Laos for the benefit and convenience of the people.
Of course, Thailand's meter-gauge railway was left over by the colonizers a hundred years ago, but it is now being reopened.
From the meter gauge railway station to the Vientiane railway station of the China-Laos Railway with international standard gauge, you have to change the car once, isn't Thailand too troublesome?
The existing meter-gauge railway between Thailand and Laos is slow and carries few passengers, and the nong of Thailand to Vientiane, Laos is still a small bridge, and the meter-gauge train will leave the station to the new railway station of Vientiane of the China-Laos Railway after getting off in Vientiane, and transfer back and forth.
It is hoped that China, Laos, Taima, and Malaysia will build a unified international standard gauge railway as soon as possible, so as to realize the arrival of Kunming-Singapore in the morning and evening or in the evening.
Don't forget the original intention, keep the mission in mind!
Once the Kunming-Vientiane-Bangkok international standard gauge railway is opened, there will be nothing to do in Viet Nam.
If you can earn RMB, who will want Viet Nam dong?
It's better than nothing. The cross-border meter-gauge railway between Thailand and Laos was opened, which is better than nothing.
Viet Nam forget it. Keep waiting, don't worry.
Let Viet Nam find Japan Shinkansen strings up and down and toss!
In response, Japan could not afford to build the more than 1,500-kilometer Shinkansen line from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh, and the Viet Nam government cried and fainted in the toilet.
Will too many Viet Nam find a place to cry?
For the construction of the Trans-Asian Railway network, if Viet Nam cooperates, the connection from the Pucho Special Economic Zone in Laos to Vinh An Port in Viet Nam will give Laos the nearest access to the sea!
The policies of China and ASEAN countries should be divided into 369 and so on, with the Philippines being the lowest, Viet Nam being medium, and Laos and Cambodia being considered high.
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia are in the upper middle.
The strategic determination is sober and firm, which is to break the situation with the opening of the China-Laos Railway + the extension of the central axis of the Laos-Thailand connection + the strong chain of Singapore-Malaysia-Thailand into a network + the end of Jakarta-Bandung to go to sea. For this line, Thailand is the key, and the Sino-Thai high-speed railway wastes a lot of time.
The China-Laos-Cambodia Railway on the left and the China-Myanmar Railway on the right come to help.
The hypocritical Viet Nam may converge on urine and will take the initiative to connect with China. Otherwise, they will their tails and try to eat at both ends.
Viet Nam will not allow Laos to have easy access to the sea. In this way, it is a pragmatic choice to speed up the construction of the China-Laos-Cambodia railway directly to Sihanoukville, which can build a high-speed railway and reduce costs. In this way, Thailand and Viet Nam will get nervous.
Once the China-Laos-Cambodia railway is fully opened, there is not much time left for Viet Nam.
Viet Nam has a low eye, a big appetite, and is always wary of China, coupled with the civil hatred and maritime disputes between the two countries. Or let the Viet Nam high-speed rail hang up and talk slowly?
Don't forget the 2014 Viet Nam official incident of large-scale smashing, looting and burning of Chinese companies.
For the idea of Viet Nam's high-speed rail, according to current news, Viet Nam is ready to contribute 70% of its own, and the remaining 30% of the funds come from abroad. Viet Nam has set a timetable for the construction of the high-speed rail project, but has not determined whose technology and financing model it will adopt. To this end, Viet Nam has reached out to many countries, but has decided on cooperation partners.
The Chinese ambassador to Viet Nam returned home just a few days ago. Before leaving Viet Nam, when he was invited to have a high-level discussion with Surin, Surin just wanted the ambassador to return to China to bring words, and let China contribute money and technology.
If Viet Nam fully meets China's conditions, it can build a high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour in three directions from Nanning, Kunming and Guiyang to Hanoi.
Among them, the most important is the high-speed railway from Nanning to Hanoi.
