As far as I can tell it's China that's done the most to dam up the Mekong. On top of all the dams within their borders they've financed the building of still more downstream.

In Laos / Cambodia, it is 95% China to blame. Well, technically, it is Laos/Cambodia for selling out their country to China. China is building a silk road all the way to Sihanoukville. Google it, there are a ton of problems. I've seen them first hand. Total destruction of the land to build railways and roads, with zero care for the environment or the people living there.

Vietnam isn't a fan of China, so there is less of the China dams in Vietnam. I'd put that blame solely on Vietnam.
