China-Laos railway completed

Both China and Laos reached a milestone this week as a high speed rail through Laos was completed.

Part of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), this 6 billion USD, 414 kilometer, high speed railway took nearly five years to construct.

Despite this win for Beijing, the advent of the Coronavirus most likely will slow down other Southeast Asia infrastructure plans financed under China.
