If it's not careful, Vietnam might find itself another Autonomous Region (tm) of China.

By 2012, when the highway is supposed to be completed, cars, buses and trucks should be able to speed people and goods between northern Vietnam and southern China, opening the prospect of a significant new economic development zone in Asia. Conversely, it will also be able to speed troops, trucks, tanks, etc. right into northern Vietnam.

The highway is one of several transport infrastructure projects integrating the economies of northern Vietnam with southern China.

True. Modern highways are a beautiful means of moving military quickly.

PRC vs SRVN, I wouldn’t know who to root for.
But I hope the Vietnamese have all the bridges dialed in to their arty.

“Conversely, it will also be able to speed troops, trucks, tanks, etc. right into northern Vietnam.”
True, but given how badly the Vietnamese as a nation hate the Chinese, that would be a bad idea for the Chinese. The Vietnamese hate the Chinese a lot more than the Poles hate the Russians, for example...

This should help spead up troop and equipment movements in a time of war. Considering Vietnams growing trade level, I am sure their ports are modern to one degree or another.

China doesn’t need Vietnam except as a market. Also, a corridor to Alaska is in planning.

Just ask any Tibetan - it’s all about ease of access for Chinese troops.

Would be good to see more articles about an even more important spoke / trunk road leading out from the Shanghai Cooperation Axis / aka Fourth Reich ... the Kunming-Bangkok Motorway.
