250 millions??? I thought 250 billions, that would be very scary. 250 millions is relatively very small.
Laos will own the Thais 3-4 billions for the construction of Sayabouly dam. Laos will pay back by selling electricity to Thailand for years to come.
Laos will own the Chinese 7-8 billions for the construction of high speed train. Laos will spend years to pay back the money by letting the Chinese exploit the big potash reserves and other mineral resources and logging Lao forests.
