China - Laos railway tunnel beakthrought was achieved recently. But at what cost?
China is building this 6 billion US$ China Laos railway. Supposedly it will also help Laos economy. But it is instead an environmental and sociological nightmare.
First 4400 families have been 'relocated' from where they had been living for ages. And now the rivers are flowing with tunnel chemicals. Fish are dying in the waterways. People living around the waterways, in the area are loosing their livelihood.
Well done China. Well done CREC. NOT!

Unreal. This is not only an environmental crime, also a crime against humanity.
This shows whereever whenever CREC is building tunnels or other infrastructure, they have a complete disregard for the environment and that people who live in that environment. I shall do everything for them not to get any business in the US.
