Resettlement and relocation of canal immigrants

Thanks to the unique geographical location of the Straits of Malacca, it earned a huge ship passage fee. The excavation of Kela Canal will bring certain economic impact to these three countries.

Impact on China:

China's enthusiasm for the Kela Canal stems from its heavy dependence on the Straits of Malacca. Malacca Strait is an important lifeline at sea, and both China and Japan rely on this natural waterway when importing oil for domestic transportation.

However, in terms of physical geography, the Malacca Strait is too far away from the mainland of China, and there are too many detours, which undoubtedly increases the transportation time and cost. If the Kela Canal is dug, it will save a lot of costs. Moreover, pirates are rampant in the Malacca Strait, and terrorism is increasing day by day, which cannot be effectively controlled. If China ships, especially those transporting strategic resources, can only pass through Malacca, it will also increase the risk of transportation.

From the perspective of regional politics, the excavation of the Kela Canal will certainly impact the economies of countries that benefit from the Straits of Malacca to a certain extent, and the economy around the Kela Canyon in Thailand will also develop rapidly driven by the canal industry, so the shift of economic center of gravity will definitely change the current regional political pattern.

From a strategic point of view, it will help to weaken China's dependence on the Straits of Malacca. From north to south, the United States and its allies control the Japanese archipelago, the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, the Ryukyu Islands, the Philippine Islands and the Malay Islands, thus blocking China's coastline. If our country relies too much on a maritime transportation line, once it goes to war, it will be bad for our country. If we can transport materials by another route at this time, it will greatly reduce the containment to our country. However, Thailand's own military strength is weak and easy to be controlled by the United States. If the Kela Canal invested by China cannot guarantee the safe use of China, it will undoubtedly become someone else's wedding dress.

Judging from the economic conditions, Thailand's economic capacity is weak, and it is impossible to dig canals by itself. Only other countries invest. However, this is a huge project that costs a lot and takes ten years. If China invests, huge capital investment and a ten-year construction period will definitely hinder the development of other undertakings in China.

Impact on Thailand:

In terms of physical geography, digging canals will undoubtedly destroy the ecological environment of Kela isthmus and cause vegetation damage. From the perspective of humanistic society, digging canals will inevitably lead to a large number of engineering immigrants, just like the Three Gorges Project in China. Resettlement of immigrants will cost a lot of money, and this group will also have certain social problems, which should not be underestimated. And the residents in southern Thailand are different from the local residents in Thailand. Residents in southern Thailand believe in Islam, and separatist activities sometimes break out, which is called the southern Thailand issue. If a canal is dug in the Clardy Gorge, there is no doubt that this canal will separate the Islamic region from the local residents of Thailand with a natural barrier, which will aggravate the separatist psychology and situation in the Islamic region and is not conducive to the reunification of Thailand.

In terms of economic development, digging canals can create employment opportunities in Thailand. At that time, convenient transportation and busy canal industry could also promote the surrounding economic development and form a number of cities developed by traffic conditions, oil refining industry and tourism.
