International Railroad Discussion > China’s Sprawling Rail Projects Around Asia

There are an impressive number of new rail projects in Southeast Asia! Those displaced in Laos, however, never received appropriate compensation and if they complain they go to prison. So it's not all positive...

That's always been the problem with taking money from China. Their money always comes with many strings and don't even think about defaulting on your "loan".

they loan africa money for ports , they default, bam china has a naval base if they want i imagine

It amazes and deeply saddens me that our nation has shipped so many jobs to China, given their political base, and their behavior towards other nations.  This proves it even more.

Our country shipped manufacturing jobs to China because all the American company owners could see was lower costs for them.

In hindsight, it wasn't an organic process. Having the Yuan/Dollar exchange rate artificially pegged at the time "motivated" corporations to outsource, so it was a manipulated event to satisfy global control (power) against specific enemies. The tables have turned, and let's see who'll make adjustments first (it's equivalent to half time in an NFL game now).

I made a reference to a certain political candidate who warned about this, but the post was deleted, so it will remain unmentioned.
