Ngokweengxelo zeendaba ngoSeptemba 5, iThailand isanda kwazisa ngokusemthethweni ukuba umzila wesitimela ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu owakhiwe yintsebenziswano yaseChina-Thailand uya kuvulwa ngokusemthethweni ngo-2023. Okwangoku, le projekthi ibe yiprojekthi yokuqala edibeneyo yaseChina neThailand. Kodwa ngenxa yesi siseko, iThailand ibhengeze isicwangciso esitsha sokuqhubeka nokwakha unxibelelwano oluhamba ngesantya esiphezulu kunye neChina ukuya eKunming naseSingapore. Kuyaqondwa ukuba iThailand iya kuhlawula ukwakhiwa kweendlela, isigaba sokuqala yi-yuan ye-41.8 yebhiliyoni, ngelixa i-China inoxanduva loyilo, ukuthenga uloliwe kunye nemisebenzi yokwakha.

Njengoko sonke siyazi, isebe lesibini le-China-Thailand ye-high-speed rail iya kudibanisa enyakatho-mpuma yeThailand kunye neLaos; isebe lesithathu liya kudibanisa iBangkok neMalaysia. Kule mihla, iThailand, eziva amandla eziseko zophuhliso zaseTshayina, yagqiba ekubeni ityale imali kuloliwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu odibanisa iSingapore. Oku kuya kwenza wonke uMzantsi-mpuma Asia usondele, kwaye iChina idlala indima ebalulekileyo.

Okwangoku, amazwe amaninzi akumazantsi-mpuma e-Asia aqhuba ngokukhutheleyo ukwakhiwa kweziseko zophuhliso, kuquka neVietnam, apho uqoqosho lukhula ngokukhawuleza. Nangona kunjalo, ekwakhiweni kololiwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu, iVietnam yenze isigqibo esichaseneyo. Kwangoko malunga ne-2013, iVietnam yayifuna ukuseka uloliwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu phakathi kweHanoi kunye neSixeko saseHo Chi Minh, kunye nokubiza umhlaba. Ekugqibeleni, iVietnam yakhetha iteknoloji yaseJapan yaseShinkansen, kodwa ngoku iprojekthi yaseVietnam ayizange ime.

Iprojekthi ye-North-South ye-high-speed rail e-Vietnam ithi: Ukuba isicwangciso sinikezelwa yiJapan, ubude obupheleleyo bomzila wesitimela esinesantya esiphezulu malunga neekhilomitha ze-1,560, kwaye ixabiso lilonke liqikelelwa kwi-yen ye-trillion ye-6.5 (malunga ne-432.4 yeebhiliyoni ze-yuan). Lo ngumfanekiso weenkwenkwezi welizwe laseVietnam (i-GDP ka-2018 ilingana namaphondo e-Shanxi / Guizhou kuphela e-China).
