Wahi a nā hōʻike media ma Sepatemaba 5, ua hoʻolaha kūkala ʻia ʻo Thailand e wehe ʻia ke ala kaʻaahi kiʻekiʻe i kūkulu ʻia e ka hui ʻana o Kina-Thailand ma 2023. Akā ma kēia kumu, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Thailand i kahi hoʻolālā hou e hoʻomau i ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi loulou kaʻaahi kiʻekiʻe me Kina i Kunming a me Singapore. Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻia e uku ʻo Thailand no ke kūkulu ʻana i ke alanui, ʻo ka hana mua he 41.8 biliona yuan, ʻoiai ʻo Kina ke kuleana no ka hoʻolālā ʻana, ke kūʻai ʻana i ke kaʻaahi a me nā hana kūkulu.

E like me kā mākou i ʻike ai, ʻo ka lālā ʻelua o Kina-Thailand e hoʻopili i ka ʻākau hikina o Thailand a me Laos; ʻo ke kolu o ka lālā e hoʻohui iā Bangkok a me Malaysia. I kēia mau lā, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Thailand, ka mea i manaʻo i ka ikaika o ka ʻoihana o Kina, e hoʻokomo i kahi kaʻaahi kiʻekiʻe e pili ana iā Singapore. ʻO kēia ka mea e hoʻokokoke aku ai i ka Hema Hema a pau, a he kuleana koʻikoʻi ʻo Kina.

I kēia manawa, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina ʻo Asia Hema e hana ikaika nei i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā ʻoihana, me Vietnam, kahi e ulu wikiwiki ai ka ʻoihana. Eia naʻe, i ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kaʻa kaʻa kiʻekiʻe, ua hana ʻo Vietnam i ka hoʻoholo kūʻē. Ma kahi o 2013, makemake ʻo Vietnam e hoʻokumu i ke kaʻaahi kiʻekiʻe ma waena o Hanoi a me Ho Chi Minh City, a noi aku no ka honua. I ka hopena, ua koho ʻo Vietnam i ka ʻenehana Shinkansen o Iapana, akā i kēia manawa ʻaʻole i pau ka papahana o Vietnam.

ʻO ka papahana kaʻa kaʻa holo kiʻekiʻe ʻĀkau-South ma Vietnam ʻo ia: Inā hāʻawi ʻia ka hoʻolālā e Iapana, ʻo ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi o ke ala kaʻa holo kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o 1,560 mau kilomita, a ʻo ka huina kālā i manaʻo ʻia he 6,5 trillion yen (ma kahi o 432,4 biliona yuan). He helu kilo kēia no ka ʻāina ʻo Vietnam (2018 GDP e like me nā panalāʻau ʻo Shanxi/Guizhou wale nō ma Kina).
