📋 Staff Comments

The factory is also known as the Thai Nguyen Plywood Factory.
It is unclear when China signed the loan agreement for this project. For the time being, AidData codes the commitment year as 2009 because one source identifies the project in a table (Table 5-1) with data up to 'the end of 2009' (see 'Living next to the giant,' p. 86).
