The Belt and Road Initiative is an important strategy proposed by the Chinese government to promote economic development between China and countries along the routes by building infrastructure and promoting trade and investment cooperation. In the process, projects such as hydropower stations built by China have brought great changes and improvements to countries such as Laos.

First, Chinese-built hydropower stations have transformed Laos' electricity supply. Power outages have plagued residents and businesses in Laos before. However, with the construction of hydropower stations in China, this problem has been solved. Today, the electricity supply in Laos has improved significantly, and residents and businesses no longer need to worry about frequent power outages. This has not only improved local production efficiency and quality of life, but also provided strong support for the economic and social development of Laos.

Secondly, the Chinese-built hydropower station has also promoted the economic development of Laos. The completion of hydropower station makes the local energy resources more abundant, but also drives the development of related industries. For example, the construction of hydropower stations has promoted the development of the local hydropower equipment manufacturing industry, creating more employment opportunities and economic benefits for the local area. In addition, the construction of hydropower stations has also promoted economic exchanges and cooperation between Laos and other countries, injecting new impetus into Laos' opening up and development.
