Abstract
China investments have driven economic growth and infrastructural development in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) with GMS focus in investment upon hydropower and transportation infrastructure based on MaeKong river. Those investment projects have significantly bolstered energy security and economic prosperity in the region. However, rapid development has raised concerns about environmental impacts and the equitable distribution of benefits. This study examines the dual facets of China's investments in the GMS by analyzing their geoeconomic impacts and exploring the environmental justice issues from these projects. The research mentions about the importance of capacity building and regional cooperation in achieving these goals.
