Cambodia's war, railway construction is still far away!

The plan for the China-Laos-Cambodia railway cannot be built on schedule,

The China-Laos-Thailand-Cambodia railway can be built, but Thailand is not willing anymore!

Before the war, it was easy to talk about it, but after the war, it's impossible to talk about it!

In fact, there are many behind-the-scenes explanations regarding this Cambodia-Thailand war. The first is that Thailand's crackdown on internet companies has violated Cambodia's interests. The second is that the accelerated construction of the China-Laos-Thailand railway has made Cambodia feel marginalized, so they want to use the war to hinder the speed of Thailand's railway construction. There are various kinds of secrets, but they are not all correct. Some may be true.

After this Cambodia-Thailand war ends, the result is that Cambodia wants to build a railway, which has become very difficult. Although the planning is good, the China-Laos-Cambodia railway plan has already been rejected in advance because it is not possible to recover the cost.

Laos and Cambodia are too poor. After the completion of the China-Laos-Cambodia railway, it will have almost no significant economic value, and it will be very difficult to recover the cost. Therefore, it will not be built for now. Even Vietnam's high-speed rail project from North to South has been put on hold, so it is even less likely to build the China-Laos-Cambodia railway.

Additionally, the China-Laos-Thailand railway is being built with full effort. Once it is completed and opened, building the Cambodia-Thailand railway from Bangkok to Phnom Penh is also possible. However, Cambodia seems to lack patience, as it will take at least ten years before it is opened. Moreover, the outbreak of the Cambodia-Thailand war makes this railway even more difficult to build.

Therefore, it can be foreseen that Cambodia will not have a real railway within ten years. Additionally, the Decho Phnom Kandal Canal project is currently still in a state of suspension. This is the most embarrassing fact at present.
