The Boten SEZ at the China-Laos border is undergoing major development
as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Its story goes back to
2007 when Boten opened as a land concession for a Chinese hotel-casino
complex. Yet crime and mismanagement led to its abrupt closure in 2011,
when most people left. This chapter is based on research in Boten in
2015-2017, between the zone’s first failure and its current boom. After
introducing the history of Boten I show how “waiting” for development
became an embodied trope for those living in the SEZ throughout this
period. Secondly, I engage with the notion of “suspension” as an analytical
device to address development zones in the context of China’s global
ambitions.
