The China-Laos Railway, also known as the China-Laos Railway Project or the Kunming-Vientiane High-speed Railway, is a proposed high-speed rail connection between China and Laos. The railway will run from Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan Province in China, to Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. The project is a part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to promote economic development and connectivity among countries in Asia and beyond.

The proposed railway will have a total length of approximately 500 kilometers and will include the following railway stations:

1. Kunming South Railway Station: The starting point of the railway, located in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China. It is an important transportation hub in Southwest China and serves as the terminus for several high-speed rail lines, including the Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway.
2. Yuxi Railway Station: Located in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, China. It is an important city in Yunnan and serves as a stop for several high-speed rail lines.
3. Mengzi Railway Station: Located in Mengzi County, Yunnan Province, China. It is a small town in Yunnan and serves as a stop for the proposed high-speed rail line.
4. Mohan Railway Station: Located in Mohan County, Yunnan Province, China. It is a small town in Yunnan and serves as a stop for the proposed high-speed rail line.
5. Vientiane Railway Station: The terminus of the railway, located in Vientiane, Laos. It is the capital city of Laos and serves as an important transportation hub for the country. The proposed high-speed rail line will connect Vientiane with other major cities in Laos, such as Luang Prabang and Savannakhet.

Please note that the China-Laos Railway project is still in the planning stage, and the exact route and schedule may change from time to time. It is important to check the latest information on the official website or relevant news sources for the most up-to-date information.

List of stations

There are 32 stations along Boten–Vientiane railway line, though only 20 stations are actually under construction, including 10 passenger stations and 10 cargo stations:

The Boten–Vientiane railway (often referred to as the China–Laos railway) is a 414 kilometres (257 mi) 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge electrified railway under construction in Laos, between the capital Vientiane and the small town of Boten on the border with China. It is the most expensive and largest project ever to be constructed in Laos.

In the north the line will be connected to the Chinese rail system in Mohan, through the Yuxi–Mohan railway. In the south it meets the existing metre-gauge railway in Thanaleng, linking it via Nong Khai in Thailand to Bangkok. A high-speed, standard gauge extension to Bangkok is also under construction – and scheduled for completion in 2028. When finished, the Boten–Vientiane railway will form an important part of the Kunming–Singapore railway.

China aims to build a 5,500-km trans-Asia railway, which begins in Yunnan’s provincial capital Kunming and travels through Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia, before ending in Singapore, according to Ding He, a deputy project manager for the China–Laos railway project. The Boten–Vientiane railway is part of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Background

Laos is the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia, which gives it a competitive disadvantage in trade. During the French rule, the French failed to materialize a possible plan to build a railway in Laos, with only the 7 km Don Det–Don Khon railway being completed. 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 of China.

The railway is also expected to boost tourism, with passenger traffic to account for the majority of traffic on the line. The Thai province of Nong Khai is also expected to gain more visitors through the railway, as well as fruit exports from Thailand to China benefiting from reduced transportation costs.

History

The first talks about the railway linking Laos and China were in 2001, Laotian and Chinese politicians both confirmed the plans in 2009. Lao politician of Chinese descent Somsavat Lengsavad was reportedly the driving force behind the project on the Laotian side. After construction work worth US$1.2 billion was awarded to the China Railway Group in September 2015. After the corruption scandal of China’s minister of railways Liu Zhijun, the start of construction was delayed until early 2016.

Construction began at Luang Prabang on December 25, 2016. At the end of 2017, the construction phase was 20% completed, and in September 2019 progress was reported as 80% completed. Unexploded bombs that have been dropped during the Vietnam War will also be removed along the route.

As of June 2020, Chinese state media reported that the US$6 billion project was 90% done. Work crews started laying track in Laos in March 2020, five years after breaking ground. With all of the many dozen tunnels and bridges completed, service is set to start in December 2021. In April 2021 the northernmost section in Luang Namtha Province was 97% complete. Track laying of the last started section in Oudomxay Province, would be completed in May, leaving the project well on track for a 2021 opening. Track-laying was officially completed on October 12th, 2021. The first EMU was delivered to Vientiane on October 16th 2021, and the line is on track to open on 2 December 2021, coinciding with the 46th anniversary of the Lao PDR.

List of stations

There are 32 stations along Boten–Vientiane railway line, though only 20 stations are actually under construction, including 10 passenger stations and 10 cargo stations:

Financing

The cost of the project is estimated at US$ 5.965 billion or RMB 37.425 billion. The railway is funded by 60% of debt financing (3.6 billion US$) from the Export-Import Bank of China and the remaining 40% (2.4 billion US$) is funded by a joint venture company between the two countries. China holds 70% of the stake of the company. Of the rest of the stake, Lao government disburses 250 million US$ from its national budget and borrows 480 million US$ further from the Export-Import Bank of China.

Debt trap concern

The cost of the railway has contributed to a significant increase in Lao debts to China. This has led to concern that Laos could fall into a Chinese debt trap or default on its debts. In 2019, the Lowy Institute estimated Laos’ debt to China at 45 percent of its GDP. In 2020, Fitch Ratings assigned Laos a ‘CCC’ credit rating, mentioning its excessive debt amount.

Infrastructure

Forty-seven percent of the railway will be in 75 tunnels and 15% will pass over viaducts spread over 167 bridges.^[13] There are 32 planned stations along the route. The final station would be Thanaleng station, not Vientiane Station. Xay Village in Xaythany District is to be the site of Vientiane Station, the largest station on the railway. The station will consist of four platforms with seven track lines and two additional platforms with three lines reserved. It is expected to connect with other railway lines planned for Laos. The station will accommodate up to 2,500 passengers with a total area of 14,543 square meters.

The railway is being built on a single track with passing loops electrified line to China’s Class I trunk railway standards, suitable for 160 km/h passenger and 120 km/h freight trains, making Laos the first country to connect to the Chinese railway network using Chinese technology.

Rolling stock

CR200J Fuxing higher-speed trainsets for passenger service, and HXD3CA locomotives for freight, will be used by Laos Railways on Boten-Vientiane railway.

VIENTIANE, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) — Lao Prime Minister Phankham Viphavanh said on Wednesday that the China-Laos Railway will open on Dec. 2 this year as scheduled.

Dec. 2 this year will mark the 46th anniversary of establishment of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.

The prime minister made the confirmation amid growing concerns that the escalating COVID-19 outbreak might affect the planned start of railway services. Currently, many provinces and Vientiane are under lockdown that restricts people’s movements.

Local online newspaper Vientiane Times quoted Phankham as saying that the government will go ahead with the opening as planned. He told reporters both online and off-line that “(I) confirm that the railway will surely open on Dec. 2.”

The Lao government is drawing up plans for the opening and operation of the railway under conditions that comply with COVID control measures to ensure the safety of everyone concerned.

The plans will address “how we can open services for tourism,” he said, adding that the authorities are working out measures to be introduced at the Laos-China border for the inspection of goods and passengers prior to entry and exit.

Initially, railway operations will focus on freight transport. Services for tourists will be offered later depending on the circumstances in which traveler safety can be assured with respect to COVID-19 epidemic.

When it is able to operate normally, the Lao prime minister said, the railway will greatly benefit Laos given its significant role in bolstering tourism and the transport of goods.

It is expected that the 422.4-km railway will cut the cost of transport through Laos by 30-40 percent compared to travel by road, thus giving a boost to trade and investment, Vientiane Times reported.

The railway would be a significant force in enabling Laos to be part of a new global supply chain, according to Vientiane Logistics Park Co., Ltd., the developer of the Thanaleng Dry Port and Vientiane Logistics Park.

Chanthone Sitthixay, chairman of Vientiane Logistics Park Co., Ltd., said the transport of goods from Southeast Asia to Europe via the railway would take just over 10 days, much shorter than using the sea route which takes about 45 days, and he predicted that countries in the region would choose to ship their containers via the railway.

Initially, at least 300,000 containers from Laos, mainly from the Thanaleng Dry Port, are expected to be shipped via the China-Laos Railway to Europe through China each year. Later, shipments are estimated to rise further to between 1.2 and 1.8 million containers a year, according to Chanthone.

The China-Laos Railway is a strategic docking project between the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative and Laos’ strategy to convert itself from a landlocked country to a land-linked hub.

The electrified passenger and cargo railway is built with the full application of Chinese management and technical standards.

The project started in December 2016 and is scheduled to be completed and opened to traffic in December 2021. Enditem
News from http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/asiapacific/2021-10/07/c_1310229333.htm

VIENTIANE, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) — The Lao government has ordered full-scale preparations for the opening of the China-Laos railway, as Laos and China count down to Dec. 2, the planned date of its inauguration.

The cabinet gave the order at its monthly meeting for October, which ended last Friday, local daily Vientiane Times reported on Monday.

Chaired by Lao Prime Minister Phankham Viphavanh, the cabinet meeting told authorities in charge to accelerate action to fulfill plans to attract investment in facilities alongside the railway.

The meeting called on the relevant departments to prepare for the construction of expressways as well as repair damaged roads.

Authorities were told to take more effective action to improve the business environment by streamlining bureaucratic procedures and removing barriers to business operation.

The streamlined “China-standard” bullet train, or electric multiple unit (EMU) train, for the China-Laos railway arrived at the newly built China-Laos Railway Vientiane Station on Oct. 16.

News from http://www.news.cn/english/asiapacific/2021-11/01/c_1310283192.htm

China Railway Group has laid the final 500m-long section of “seamless rails” on the 471km-long China-Laos railway in time for the project to meet its target opening on 2 December, the country’s national day.
The work was carried out by the company’s subsidiary, the China Railway No 2 Engineering Group (CREC-2) in a southern suburb of Vientiane, the capital of Laos.

The railway, like most modern lines, is using “continuous weld” technology to reduce the number of rail joints, and therefore decrease the system’s maintenance needs and improve the smoothness of ride.

According to the joint venture Laos–China Railway Company (LCRC), which is overseeing the railway’s construction and operation, CREC-2 completed its last weld on Thursday.

Work on the scheme began in December 2016. Xiao Qianwen, the LCRC general manager, told the Xinhua news agency on Friday that the Chinese engineers have built 75 tunnels, 165 bridges and 20 stations since May 2020. It is presently undergoing final inspections.

When commissioned, the electrified line will run from the town of Boten on Laos’ border with China to Vientiane at a speed of around 160km/h.

The project is expected to have a cost of about $6bn, of which $3.6bn is being covered by a loan from the Export-Import Bank of China, with the remainder being raised by LCRC. This is about a third of Laos’ GDP, which has raised concerns about repayment.

Laos is the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia, and its economy is dominated by subsistence rice farming that is largely outside the money economy. Even so, its GDP has been growing at a rate of 6% in recent years, and the project is expected to increase this by boosting the tourism industry, presently the country’s most dynamic sector.

Soulivath Souvannachoumkham, director-general of External Finance and Debt Management at the Laotian Ministry of Finance, told The Bangkok Post: “One of the major policies of the government is to develop the country’s land links. And we have realised that it is difficult to achieve the target outlined by the government without the railway.

“We all know that one of the bottlenecks to the economic development of Laos is that we don’t have sea transport, making it difficult for shipments between cities and districts, and for trade and economic development. Once the railway is completed, it will help reduce transport costs by about 50%.”

The completion of the railway will deepen China’s influence over the landlocked nation of seven million.

The multibillion-dollar Laos-China railway is set to begin operations by the end of the year as scheduled, a Lao official said last week, completing the first link of a long-envisioned rail line connecting southwest China with Singapore.

The announcement was made by Minister of Planning and Investment Sonexay Siphandone on August 11 during a meeting of 10th Laos-China Railway Project Construction Committee, according to Pasaxon, the newspaper of the ruling Lao People’s Revolutionary Party.

Sonexay said that as of July 25, construction of the railway, which runs from the town of Boten on Laos’s border with China to the capital Vientiane, was 93.82 percent complete. “The Laos-China Railway will be completed in November, and will be open and ready for use by Laos National Day on 2 December,” he said.

Sonexay also told the meeting that Chinese operators are bringing in locomotives, electric multiple unit trains, and other equipment to conduct the first trial run of the railway in October, before opening it to the public on December 2.

An effective extension of China’s high-speed rail system into Laos, the Laos-China Railway is a striking example of Chinese technical prowess, and a headline project of Xi Jinping’s world-spanning Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The standard gauge single-track line cuts through 417 kilometers of rugged terrain from Boten to Vientiane, including 61 kilometers of bridges and 75 tunnels with a total length of 198 kilometers.

As the Vientiane Times helpfully noted, “The Laos-China railway is a strategic part of China’s [BRI] and the Lao government’s plan to transform Laos from a landlocked country into a land link within the region.”

The fact that the railway is set to be completed on schedule testifies to the fact that despite the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, Beijing remains committed to deepening the economic and physical integration between China and the nations of the lower Mekong region.
Get briefed on the story of the week, and developing stories to watch across the Asia-Pacific.

Over the past two decades, this process of integration has broken down a once-nearly impermeable barrier of mountainous terrain dividing China from mainland Southeast Asia, opening the region to a southward wave of Chinese migration and capital investment.

The impending completion of the Laos-China Railway is therefore set to bind the country of seven million people ever closer to its giant neighbor. This is true obviously in a physical sense: the railway is likely to increase the number of Chinese nationals traveling to Vientiane, which already boasts a large resident Chinese population, while boosting Chinese tourism to the former royal capital of Luang Prabang. But it is also true in a financial one.

In a 2018 report, the Washington-based Center for Global Development concluded that Laos was the one Southeast Asian country risking significant debt distress as a result of loans from China, in large part due to the railway project. A study published in 2019 by Sydney’s Lowy Institute estimated Laos’ debt to China at 45 percent of GDP.

Since both of these reports were published, the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have transformed Laos’ debt squeeze from a potential crisis to an actual one. In September of last year, due to dwindling foreign reserves, Laos was forced to cede majority control of its national power grid to a Chinese company.

I’ve tended toward skepticism on claims that China is engaged in “debt-trap diplomacy,” and that the BRI is little more than a scheme to enmesh developing nations in skeins of dependency. But there is no doubt that heavy debt burdens, whatever their source, can endanger the sovereignty of developing nations, especially in straitened economic circumstances.
