[Jlaw]

@NiceGuy what's your perspective on Japanese ODA?

 

[Aepsilons]

Yes, this is very important project, but the construction works is slowly.

On Project site.

The road high way connected Hanoi to HoaLac is completed.

Looks so beautiful, my friend ! Vietnamese infrastructure looks amazing !

that is VERY nice. the japanese are generous. by the way, the government of vietnam welcomes japanese warships in the south china sea, supporting a more aggressive role and responsibility of japan. banzai!

Great news for the region

 

[TaiShang]

Great news for the region in general. Being a developed nation, Japan has a greater potential to offer development assistant in underdeveloped areas. The regional discourse should definitely reverse back to development and economic cooperation. I guess the AIIB has kick-started many parallel initiatives.

You owe us a thanks. You won't get this free lunch without China.

There's no free lunch, only national interest (in this case, which is Japan).
Rich countries always invest direct and indirectly in poorer countries. Long term goal is strengthen their soft power.

This time ? No .
Japan is just using money to draw over Viet to the side of Japan.

Without China, Japan will do ODA but not that much.
