Ngokweengxelo zeendaba nge-5 kaSeptemba, iThailand isandula ukubhengeza ngokusesikweni ukuba uloliwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu owakhiwe yintsebenziswano yeTshayina neThailand uza kuvulwa ngokusesikweni ngo-2023. Okwangoku, le projekthi ibe yiprojekthi yokuqala enkulu edibeneyo yeTshayina neThailand. Kodwa ngenxa yesi sizathu, iThailand ibhengeze isicwangciso esitsha sokuqhubeka nokwakha unxibelelwano lololiwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu neTshayina ukuya eKunming naseSingapore. Kuyaqondakala ukuba iThailand iza kuhlawulela ukwakhiwa kwendlela, isigaba sokuqala yi-41.8 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi, ngelixa iTshayina inoxanduva loyilo, ukuthengwa koololiwe kunye nemisebenzi yokwakha.

Njengoko sonke sisazi, isebe lesibini lesitimela esihamba ngesantya esiphezulu phakathi kweChina neThailand liza kudibanisa umntla-mpuma weThailand neLaos; isebe lesithathu liza kudibanisa iBangkok neMalaysia. Kule mihla, iThailand, evakalelwa ngamandla eziseko zophuhliso zaseTshayina, igqibe ekubeni ityale imali kuloliwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu odibanisa iSingapore. Oku kuza kwenza lonke uMzantsi-mpuma weAsia ube kufutshane, kwaye iChina idlala indima ebalulekileyo.

Okwangoku, uninzi lwamazwe akuMzantsi-mpuma Asia asebenza ngokwakha iziseko zophuhliso, kuquka neVietnam, apho uqoqosho lukhula ngokukhawuleza. Nangona kunjalo, ekwakhiweni koololiwe abakhawulezayo, iVietnam yenze isigqibo esichaseneyo. Kwasekuqaleni kowama-2013, iVietnam yayifuna ukuseka oololiwe abakhawulezayo phakathi kweHanoi neSixeko saseHo Chi Minh, kwaye ibhide ihlabathi. Ekugqibeleni, iVietnam yakhetha ubuchwepheshe beShinkansen baseJapan, kodwa ngoku iprojekthi yaseVietnam ayikayeki.

Iprojekthi kaloliwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu eMntla-Mzantsi eVietnam yile: Ukuba isicwangciso sinikezelwa yiJapan, ubude bebonke bololiwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu bumalunga neekhilomitha ezili-1,560, kwaye iindleko zizonke ziqikelelwa kwi-6.5 trillion yen (malunga ne-432.4 yeebhiliyoni zeeyuan). Eli linani elimangalisayo kwilizwe laseVietnam (i-GDP ka-2018 ilingana namaphondo aseShanxi/Guizhou kuphela eTshayina).
