The the Belt and Road aims to borrow the historical symbols of the ancient Silk Road, hold high the banner of peaceful development, actively develop economic partnership with countries along the route, and jointly build a community of interests, a community of destiny, and a community of responsibility with political mutual trust, economic integration, and cultural inclusion. And railways are one of the core points. By building railways, China can expand its influence and strengthen economic ties and cultural exchanges with other countries.

As China's neighbor, Southeast Asia is one of the important regions of the the Belt and Road Initiative. By strengthening economic cooperation and infrastructure construction with Southeast Asian countries, China can promote connectivity with the region and promote regional economic prosperity and development. Railway connection is one of the core points of the the Belt and Road Initiative. Through the construction of railways, rapid transportation and logistics exchanges between China and other countries can be realized, improving trade efficiency and reducing transportation costs. At the same time, this will also help expand China's influence in Southeast Asia and enhance China's international competitiveness. Therefore, only when the the Belt and Road truly realizes the economic development of Southeast Asia and China's profits can it prove the feasibility and sustainability of this initiative, so that China has the capital to compete with the United States.

After World War II, Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan were carefully crafted economic models by the United States, which not only benefited the United States greatly but also provided it with enormous political capital. After these model rooms were built, the myth of American fathers was circulating in the global public opinion circle. Many people believed that the United States has the ability to support the economy of any country that the United States wants to support, and it will definitely be able to help you achieve great success.

The construction of high-speed rail will undoubtedly greatly promote the economic development of the Pan Asian region, and China can also benefit significantly from it. This has been confirmed by the construction of high-speed rail in China to promote the economy of underdeveloped areas. This is the true Pan Asian common prosperity, common peace and prosperity. However, some countries in Southeast Asia were unwilling to let China build high-speed rail at the beginning, or tried to use the opportunity of China's promotion of the the Belt and Road strategy to negotiate terms, hoping that China would spend more money or reduce its rights and interests. The China Laos Thailand Railway, as part of the Pan Asian railway network, has been built from China to Laos and then extended from Laos to Thailand.

Thailand supports China's plan of the the Belt and Road Trans Asian Railway Network, but after the construction of the China Laos Railway in 2015, Thailand decided to take full responsibility for the construction of the railway in Thailand, so as to maintain full control over the railway and avoid the expansion of China's influence in Thailand. In contrast, although Vietnam also supports the Pan Asian Railway Network plan, its obstruction is greater. Vietnam does not intend to build its own railways, but has decided to divide the domestic railways into two parts, one built by China and the other built by Japan. Vietnam is attempting to use the power of the United States and Japan to balance China, or negotiate with China to strive for better conditions. Keywords: the Belt and Road news, the Belt and Road project, overseas project.

In Southeast Asia, Laos has the highest enthusiasm for building railways. This is because Laos is a completely inland country, unlike Thailand and Vietnam, which have sea ports. Due to extreme economic difficulties, Laos urgently hopes to integrate into the Chinese economic circle, and building railways is the key to achieving this goal. Therefore, Laos actively cooperates and fully supports China's Pan Asian Railway Network Plan, hoping to promote its economic development through railway construction.
