what kind of chinese people will come to live in or country nowaday we should strict about this because Laos gonna be discover by chinses people soon and no more Lao people. if we have china town because we want to gain some good thing from them we should bring chinese people who has education and going to have a business in Laos to provide jobs to Lao people. Not to bring a big group of chinese people who wants to make money from our country and birng it back to their country or their people.
Exactly this is the big problem! One day lao people will be second class people in their own Country!!!! Chines are smart and make good business, but all the money will go to China. Look what is going on in Tibet today:
This topic is going sterile, some of you don't like chinese or think that lao people are stupid, omg too much lol for me...
What about you, if you are so clever and so smart why you don't go to Laos and be President, maybe you will make thing different over there... So lol...
Some of you don't know nothing about politic and economic and you criticize everything in Laos... OMG
You are like kid in school...
Laos is Laos and it will be never China, don't you understand that..??? lol
Laos Deputy Prime Minister Somsavath Lengsavad admits that the concession of a 1,000-hectare That Luang marshland to a Chinese company to develop into a residential and economic zone was in exchange for the new stadium and sports facilities that Chinese companies are building for Laos to use when it hosts the 25th SEA Games in December 2009. The concession has become controversial when rumors surfaced that the government has agreed to allow thousands of Chinese to settle down in the area, creating a Chinatown in Vientiane. Mr. Somsavad told a recent press conference that it is a case of turning assets into capitals, and the marshland development will be a comprehensive, joint development Blueprint of That Luang marshland development by Chinese and Lao companies between Chinese and Lao companies, with the latter holding a 5% stake. The concession is for 50 years, after which the developed area will be turned over to Laos. The concession does not include a 600-hectare lot that will be developed into a water park. Lao authorities say the That Luang marshland development is necessary to accommodate the population growth and the economic expansion of the capital city, and that affected people will be appropriately compensated.
Three Chinese companies are building this complex and the government had given them permission to develop the marsh in return. The companies had been given a 50-year concession, which could be extended by another 25 years, and would be developing the area in collaboration with a Lao company. By Souksakhone Vaenkeo
Why does lao goverment give the land to the chinese people, i dont understand!
The Lao Government does not give out land to the Chinese people. It is a Joint Venture Entreprise between the Lao Government and a Chinese Investor. The Chinese Investor will develope the marshland into a modern urban center for both commercial and residential uses.

Laos have 5% share of the operation and getting part of the land back in 50-75 years...I don't call that a joint venture. I call it....."hey, commrade A, B, C, and D,....here is some $$$$. Now sit back and shut up".
Look, I know Laos need money for the new stadium for ASEAN olympic so it is going to do what it take to build it. But does Laos really need the stadium or why does it think it can host the olympic there? And another thing, Laos can't even host the other half of the events in the olympic. That is the more reason to ask why was Laos thinking.
Definetly, I worry too because Chinese is smater than lao and they will take over in everything, like goverment, enterment, and businness.

Yo Forever416...
can i ask you something??? 416 is your area code?? Toronto, Canada?? your english seems little suspicious.. but it is good for entertainment though.. hahahhahahha like..... bu sin ness.. lol enterment... hahahah another good one
Lan Xan, I agree fully with you, there are so many other things to do than Statiums! And giving away the land for a Stadium is really a shame!!!
LOL What exactly do you people want? When the Lao Government do something positive for the country. You people still whine and whine.
The contruction of sport facilities benefit many sector of the Lao economy. To build a structure, you need labor, funding, materials and so forth. Who do you think provided the labor for the contruction? Lao people! Where do you think the building material came from? Variety of places. Most from Laos. Lao cement, Lao timber, Lao steel and etc. Material that are imported must be transport to Laos on Lao trucks. Trucks run on diesel purchases in Lao gas station. The work forces on this contruction project must eat, drink and what not. Where do you think the go and eat? Laos!

What should I say to the guy use the CAP letter name as FOREVER as a hell ?
If I say to him " SHAME ON YOU ", it would not be an apprropriate language and impolite to him because of his spelling. I should tell him go back to re-educate again and think like an adult's mind not just your body look like an adult and use your common sense to criticize someone or Lao Government as a community as a whole.

I want LPDR to stop begging for donation. I want LPDR to stop saying they can do this or that because of no money. I want LPDR to stop making stupid deal. I want LPDR to stop selling Laos natural resources I want LPDR to stop doing projects they cant afford in the first place

I've never implied that selling the country is a positive thing. Seizing the opportunity that present to us is a good policy. Sitting idle and waiting for the next Buddha to arrive is a wishful thinking. I am happy that the Lao Government is pro active about development and modernization of the country.

It is a shame that some of your Lao living abroad still harbor outdated bigotry belief despite the exposure to multicultural and open society in the West. There is no room for xenophobia in the era of globalization. ASEAN will be the next EU in the next several decades ahead.

And who are you to demand? What credential do you have? Please show us your credential and feasible proposals or solutiion to develope the country.
There are huges differences between contructive criticism and irrational whining.
What credential DO YOU HAVE to demand our answers?
As a lawful citizen of the Lao PDR I have every right to defend my country's integrity. The internal affairs of the Lao PDR are no one's business.

We do have embassies and diplomats post all over the world. If you have a good proposal for projects of any kind in Laos, please do not hesistate to contact the nearest Lao embassy or consulate in your area. Be sure to have all your written proposal and feasibility study readily available. Lao diplomats are subject to international protocol like any other diplomats around the world.

When opportunity knock, it is simply not wise to let the opportunity passed by. The next opportunity for Laos to host the SEA Game will be two decades away if we failed to act. Laos cannot simply let this opportunity slip away. We have investors that are will to take the risk and invest in our country. The benefit simply are to great to ignore. We have asset that has not yet been tap. The stadium and the That Luang Marshland Urban Development project will end up in Lao's possession at the end of the lease term. The Chinese Investor is certainly not going to take the structures back with them upon the expiration of the lease.

Defending the Integrity? Do you even know what it mean? Do you even know what you are saying?
Selling your country for little money where is integrity in that?
You people in Vientiane and Luang Prabang are living in high luxury when the people in the countryside live in despair. They have no time or can't speak out or not informed.....we are speaking for them.
You are right, the internal affair of Lao PDR are no one's business. UNLESS you are members of Lao People's Revolutionary Party.
Defending the Integrity? Do you even know what it mean? Do you even know what you are saying?
What make you think I don't know what I am talking about? Before we began any further, are you even a Lao citizen?

This is a fact of life. Even in the US there are disparity in wealth distribution. Are there not? Since, when the rural Lao people nominated you as their spokesman?

If you knew that I am right then why are you insist on interfering with our internal affairs? Are you even a Lao citizen? If not then we do appreciate your concern but it is none of your business.
if this happend Some day in future laos will be part of China
Laos has been in existence for several centuries despite numerous threats to our security and culture and yet the Lao flag still fly high as we speak. Thanks goodness we don't have people with inferior complex and xenophobic worldview like you, in the Lao Government.
Your inferior complex sentiment also exposed your lack of knowledge of the political reality of today's world. With the creation of the United Nation, the days of world conquerer and empire builder are obsoleted.
I have read many opinions and many discussions here, I don't want to write too long and say too much about both sides of your arguments here, all I want to say for short and meaning is that for better or worst " I LOVE MY MOTHER-LAND ". I' ve never seen my country grown in building, infrastruction and the highest growth rate in ASIAN according to the " Source: Philippine Daily Inquirer by Michelle V. Remo, April 3, 2008 ", since I was small kid before I left. I don't want to say the word " PROUD " of you Lao Government yet but all I can say KEEP UP the good work and you are moving in proper and not perfect direction yet. We are far behind the rest of our neighbours.
For those who criticize and call Lao PDR as a communist country; take a look at Communist Soviet Union is no longer exist. Lao PDR have no word of communist in it. For someone who educated in the West, he/she says is my Freedom of speech think again some phone-line(s) being tapped by government now and even building the Wall now. Tell other tear down the (Berlin) wall..Huh. Tell other respect Human Right..Huh. Sometime they are confusing of calling the CHINA : The CAPITAL Communist China or The Socialist Communist China..Umm. Trillion dollors had gone without any profit return, economy in a blink of Recession and corruptions rose !!! They are fear no one but they are fear in themself.
According to psychological theory : when someone lied, he/she have tendency to lie again; when someone s**t, he/she will s**t again.
Let take a look at EUROPE now , they are growing and more Eastern want to join them.
Whatever serve the our country well do it but be smart, keep your head up and learn from them and don't let them fool us. Teach our children well and remind them they must be a FIRST CLASS to none!! Do whatevernecessary to improve our motherland !! And Remember Investments can be risky if careful thinking and planning is implemented !!
LET MOVE ON..LET UNITE, DIVIDED WE FAIL, let engage in proper, formal and educational ways of discussions. Do not hostile and use the inflammable languages toward each others!! Use a common sense and respect each other as community as a whole.
In the future, If I'm still around I want to see ASIAN be as an Unite Asian ( E. A.) and the same currency as E. U. <= correct me if I'm wrong !
Are they Chinese soldiers? Why are they holding what appear to be a monk robe? Are they planning to wear it and go undercover? Maybe to incite trouble to get the crowd angry?
Lan Xan, I agree fully with you, there are so many other things to do than Statiums! And giving away the land for a Stadium is really a shame!!!

You don't have to be surprise of 300,000 chinese pleople. They invaded our country long time ago. In 1960, about 450,000 Hmongs live in Laos. Hmongs came from China. They are chinese people.
After World War II, king of Loas refused to accept compensation from Japanse. Now, why don't laos goverment use $260 million dollars that still availabe to buy stadium or to build university. Beside, Laos Americans can sui U.S for Vang Pao's case(civil or felony) that never brought to justice(unconstitution). Hmong's leader never appreciated Laos Americans for not taking any action to against their leader who wanted to kill innocent civillians in Vientaine for his own gain. Vang Pao's people called Laos stupid because we're not supporting them to destroy Viet. Vientiane. In the history, vietnamese were chinese(Hmong) enemy. Even now, they still dislike eachother. When hmong's leader against loas goverment, he meant Vietnamese people. Viet and Chinese(hmong) try to take over Laos. In vientiane city, who owns the business and who owns small house on the counryside.
When i come to read some news here, i think some of you don't know nothing about politic or business, you are like children just born...
Only thing you can do is criticize everything in Laos, even lao people...
Who are you ? How old are you ? What do you do like job ? How many children have you ? Do you live in Laos ? What can you do to help lao people ?
You are just behind your computer like babies, crying after something that you don't own... But you want it at all like babies crying for his toys...
You want Laos to change, to be a democratic country (what is democratic country anyway ?), to fight against poverty, fight against corruption, make Laos to be a better place to live...
But you can't do nothing, nothing, you are just like nothing...
Laos doesn't need you, because you are useless, so useless...
I'm so sorry for you....
finally, someone speak up about the people that come in here or any other lao forum to cry about things like baby...
I am totally agreed with you many of thse people do not know anything about politics or business...I also suspected that many of them are Lao kids -born/grew up in USA that have no idea what's going in Laos ..only source they heard it from is word of mouth or newspaper. and I've never seen a constructive criticism about laos ......
Please my young brotha and sista ...think before you talk ...!!
Very mature of you, Por Sil See! It's not going to do you any good denying your deficiency in English. Please don't get me wrong. I am merely trying to help you out.

Everything is too late to talk about it just let them have it. It's Ok for laotian pleople to be their slave as janitor and kalee. What can you do your prime minister is Chinese. He has laos name it doesn't mean he's Laotian. He's Chinese. Real Laos don't do that to thier own blood.
