Each one of us can cry out, cry off, cry in and cry up and down in our
little corner with personal anguish for all these rapid changes in our
homeland, but let's face it when the sad reality is that all these
cries or appeals wouldn't even reach the deaf ears of our own
compatriots living within our own community, and let's not pretend
this will echo beyond any of  those distant walls in Laos...Why is that?
Because not a single Laonok organization in the entire planet can
nearly fill up the gap of such entrepreneurship with equivalent
financial backup and know-how, even less to bail out every existing
foreign bidding granted above all by the Lao government itself. Even
though we fault those Chinese's new business adventures with soon the
presence of their business people as a threat to our national entity,
so what do we really have as equivalent to compete or counterbalance,
and the simple answer is nil...If only if Laos today can depend on its
oversea Lao population to come home to lay those golden eggs like the
Vietnamese or Chinese do to their homeland, we wouldn't spend our time
to argue like fools about this right at this moment, would-we?

Already, won't it be long that some scam artists would like to come up
with all kind of investment scam to reward themselves due to these
frustrations, for instance, I heard of $1000 per family investment in
a ridiculous project to bail out the Chinese project.

Let's face it again, the patriotic fervor is really a legitimate
concern in this case, but how to do about it is entirely another
asymmetrical  challenge that we don't have as Lao. This kind of
foreign encroachment or visible presence has been seen before, don't
we? For instance,  how about the KM6 where those American families
were stationary in 60 and 70th, and heavily fortified behind those
heavily guarded barber wires and walls on that narrow road to Dong
Dok, separated from the rest of the Lao population, even though Lao
people, the owner of the land, couldn't even enter that compound
without being kicked out by some security guards. And another heavily
guarded USAID Compound near the Lycee, and FMM, the French military
base near the airport where no Lao people were allowed at least with
special  permission ...etc...So I wonder what is the difference between
then and now? Or because it's farang to whom  Lao people should bow
like a slave to honor their presence no matter how dumb they are, and
in terms of Asian to Asian, we should suddenly wake up with more
patriotic resistance. I wonder how much those farang have contributed
to the real betterment of Laos comparing to now.

Vannasay,

Vannasay,

We do not have to cry out or be so obsessive on the issue. All we have
to do is to find some of our time to reach out to one another and have
our positive exchanges with facts and rational base on our own
perspective without having too much expectation. We will be ok and
many factors both inside and outside of Laos will play a major role in
changing Laos for the better.

Laos is a small country locates in the middle of bigger and better
neighbors. Lao leaders (whoever they may be) will be forced to go
along and adjust to the WILL of the others who are in the position to
steer the future of the SEA region.
