Any so-called plan crash or helicopter accidents in the two countries bordering Vietnam must be seen in the context of chinese machinations to undermine Vietnam's security. Laos and Cambodia are vital for VN's security. In August 1965, in his speech before the Central Committee of the communist party, Mao said that China must take control of the whole Indochina Peninsula comprising Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam and of course the South China Sea before moving on to take Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia and then on to conquer the Indian Ocean. He left a master plan with instructions for his successors to implement.

There is suggestion the invisible hand of chinese intelligence was at play. The people who perished were pro-Vietnam elements of the ruling party and chinese agents sabotaged the plane to eliminate them so pro-China elements can rise to prominence. Similar "accident" happened also in neighboring Cambodia where two pro-Vietnam elements of the ruling party were killed in a plane crash. There seems to be a conscious effort by chinese intelligence to eliminate vietnamese influence in those two countries, reminiscent of the rise of the Khmer Rouge whose first task was to eliminate all pro-Vietnam elements. China then used the Khmer Rouge to foment trouble on VN's flank as prelude to its invasion of VN's northern border in 1979. It could mean that China is preparing to invade Vietnam from all sides, not just northern border and seaborne invasion of the entire coast from north to south as described in its publicly disclosed plan to capture Vietnam in a 31-days war.

Humlaai from Vientiane :

Now since an official of the Government has died just wonder if the Lao Government will try to improve to its air Safety for all.
Investigation will take place but will the result be made public for all to see, still waiting on the results for the previous crash in Pakse to be known.
