On right track? Beijing woos with rail projects

BEIJING: China is stepping up
plans to build rail lines for countries in the Asean.
The latest
move involves an offer to bank roll and build a $7 billion railway line between
Laos's capital of Vientiane and the Laos-China border. The moves are expected
to soften the attitude of China's neighbours regarding regional issues
bedeviling Beijing's ties to other East Asian countries during the Asean meeting, which began on Sunday,
sources said, as also to checkmate US push in the region.
