As Singapore assumes chairmanship of ASEAN-China relations in 2018, we take a look at how the Silk Road is impacting Indochina. Starting in Yunnan where a mega dam is transforming the entire Indochina ecosystem; we move on to Myanmar- home of a huge petrochemical/ port project; onwards to Laos and Cambodia- two of China's most steadfast ASEAN allies; and finally to Thailand where a new mega rail project is underway. Host Anthony Morse comes from Myanmar/ Thailand and this will be an especially personal trip to meet his family/ friends whose lives are impacted by the Silk Road.

The New Silk Road Season 4 - Episode 3
Genre: Documentary
Runtime: 0h 47min
Language: English

Episode 3: Laos
Why is Laos such a steadfast ally of China? We travel through the country to find out- China invests in, and controls many major sectors of the Laos economy. The largest malls and Cineplexes are Chinese built, the Laos satellite is operated by the Chinese, Chinese tourism facilities and schools litter the country, and now, the biggest industrial investment in the country is also from China. Is this heavy reliance on China a boon or bane for Laos? Is Laos the new investment hotspot? What does this mean for the rest of Indochina and also ASEAN?
