The Golden City of Boten

Ore Huiying
Singapore

“China is famous for exporting its mass- produced goods around the world for global consumption. Less well known are its attempts to export its human population, as it forges new economic links and opportunities around the world. Across China’s southern border with Laos and Myanmar lie six settlements built by Chinese developers, which operate businesses owned and run by the Chinese. Boten, a town located in northern Laos, is one of them.”
