520 _aIn 2010, China decided to build the first high-speed Kunming-Vientiane-Bangkok railway line to add to the highway corridors of the first two decades in the Greater Mekong region. Given that this line is a key instrument of its ambitions in South-East Asia, China had to modify the finances in accordance with the changes in the policies of the partner countries and the risk of incurring excessive debts. In doing so, it has shown unexpected flexibility, which allowed it to start the construction in 2016. The pragmatism that it has shown in the mainland South-East Asia will be useful for carrying out its even more ambitious project of New Silk Roads across Euro-Asia.
