It will be majority-owned by China, financed by Chinese funds, and built by China Railway Group.[1][3] BackgroundLaos is the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia, which hinders trade of goods. A railway link through Laos would greatly reduce cargo transit times and transportation costs between Laos and China. The railway would also be a link in the Kunming–Singapore railway network, as well as a program within the One Belt One Road Initiative. HistoryThe first talks about the railway linking Laos and China were in 2001, Laotian and Chinese politicians both confirmed the plans in 2009. After the corruption scandal of China's minister of railways Liu Zhijun, the start of construction was delayed until early 2016.[4] The railway is built to China’s GB Grade 1 standard (suitable for 160 km/h passenger and 120 km/h freight trains), construction began at Luang Prabang on [https://laotiantimes.com/2017/02/20/everything-you-need-to-know-laos-china-railway/ December 25, 2016]. FinancingThe cost of the project is estimated as 5.95 billion US dollar, to be financed 12% by Laos directly, 28% by China, with the remaining 60% being financed by loans.[4] Infrastructure47% of the railway will be in tunnels and 15% will pass over viaducts, spread over 75 tunnels and 167 bridges.[4] As of 2017 year end, the construction phase is 20% completed.[5] There are 32 planned stations along the route.[6] The final station would be Thanaleng railway station, not Vientiane Station (under construction).
