老挝:中老铁路恢复施工,当地社区的顾虑仍未消除,工人的工资问题也未解决

[此翻译由企业责任资源中心提供]

“中老铁路复工:北京“一带一路”倡议全速前进?”,2020517

虽然东南亚许多国家的工作岗位都消失了,经济也处于停滞状态,但中老铁路在仅仅暂停23天后就复工了……

这条铁路提供了一个例子,表明北京在全球疫情下如何推进“一带一路”项目,以及这对土地和资源受到北京公路、大坝和铁路网络影响的人民意味着什么。随着中国经济开始复苏,东道国仍大体处于封闭状态,中国开发商正在为这些数十亿美元的项目制定议程,并塑造当地居民和相关国家经济的未来。

在老挝,这意味着尽管经济前景不明朗,国家将承担更多的债务,当地居民从铁路项目中获得的利益将更少。新冠疫情表明,各国追求可持续、有弹性的增长是多么重要,但中老铁路从未征得受影响社区的同意,更不用提听取当地的建议了……

到目前为止,当地社区因政府为铁路项目征地或水源受到污染而收到的补偿微乎其微。老挝政府承诺,会按照国内法律的规定,向4000多个铁路项目搬迁户提供补偿。根据最新的媒体报道,只有几百个家庭得到了一些补偿……

虽然中老铁路项目已恢复施工,但似乎少有受益的老挝工人。铁路项目的大多数工人是中国人……尽管两国政府承诺,这条铁路将为当地居民带来一波好工作。

在仍参与铁路项目建设的老挝工人当中,许多人可能拿不到工资。自由亚洲电台报道,铁路恢复施工不久,30名老挝工人在接受采访时说,他们已经三四个月没发工资了……

鉴于老挝和中国政府对持不同政见者的镇压政策,工人与媒体交谈面临极大的风险,这些指控显得尤为重要,而且问题可能更为普遍……

新冠疫情也使“一带一路”项目的融资前景受到质疑……

新冠疫情的影响仍在演变之中,不断膨胀的债务产生的风险只会越来越大。目前还没有两国政府就项目融资重新谈判的消息……
