Chapter 1187: The Ocean Road to Break Through the Blockade

Muyang is following up on the resumption of three major projects in the near future. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

They are the "China-Myanmar Kunming-Kyaukphyu Railway", "Myitsone Hydropower Station" and "Leibitang Copper Mine".

In fact, there are many Chinese investment projects in Myanmar, and these three projects are by no means the largest, but these three projects have different meanings, because these are all projects that China invested in Myanmar and finally failed.

The reasons for this are complex, including the opposition of some people in Myanmar, the reasons of former Burmese President U Min-hui, the reasons of local warlords, and the reasons why Japan used diplomatic means to sabotage it. As a result, China has also invested a lot of money in these three projects that have been signed, but the Myanmar government unilaterally broke the contract and announced that it would be shelved.

After Muyang became ambassador, Wu Minhui was eliminated, Sai Maokang was brought to power, and Chinese investment in Myanmar was gradually resumed, and these three projects were concerned.

Perhaps, there is also a reason for the reluctance to accept failure.

Anyway, looking at the project that has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but saying that it will be stopped if it is stopped, and Myanmar, which is also a small country, has a feeling of being bullied, and it is difficult to relax.

If you can get it back now, why keep this knot?

Therefore, Muyang is also more concerned about promoting these three projects.

At the earliest time with Sai Mao Kangti, Sai Mao Kang said that the performance and fulfillment of the international contracts signed by the previous government and the outcome of the handling of disputed projects will greatly affect the future international credibility of the Myanmar state.

These politicians know best how important international credit is to a country's future economic development, and who would dare to invest in Myanmar if everyone is very worried about their investment.

During his last visit to Myanmar, Minister Yang also discussed the matter with Sai Maokang and other senior government officials in Myanmar, calling the project a "growing pain" in bilateral cooperation, and "both sides should actively and properly handle it, and have full confidence in the future of mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Myanmar." ”

However, when Muyang met with other Burmese officials, he said, "For other international investors, the results of China's three investment projects will also affect the trust of international capital in the Burmese government." ”

Myanmar's new government will face a series of economic challenges when it takes office in early March, including a delicate relationship with China. After all, China was Myanmar's largest trading partner and source of foreign direct investment.

And these three projects actually involve a plan in Muyang's heart.

Among his banking projects is the power company project. Myanmar is now desperately short of electricity, with existing power plants only meeting 40% of Myanmar's electricity needs, and as Myanmar grows, the demand for electricity will increase.

This is a golden basin, which can be expected to make a lot of money, but if you want to make money, it is important to have electricity, so it is imperative to build a hydropower station. Myanmar has extremely rich hydropower resources, according to analysis, Myanmar has used less than 5% of hydropower resources, and it can even be said that there is basically no development. Later, there are extremely rich resources waiting to be developed.

The same is true for the electricity market, where there are still a large number of rural areas in Myanmar that are not electrified.

Among the three major projects, the 'China-Myanmar Kunming-Kyaukpyu Railway' is the most important for Muyang, perhaps because it is related to the plan he envisioned.

Muyang's plan is to skip the so-called blockade and open China's exit to the Indian Ocean.

The China-Myanmar Kunming-Kyaukphyu Railway will allow China to have a direct access from the interior to Myanmar.

Myanmar is very important to China, with its geographical location directly in the Indian Ocean, which can be said to be China's natural outlet to the sea in the Indian Ocean, and Myanmar's coastline is very long.

What's more, the United States does not have much influence here, so it is very conducive to China using Myanmar as a springboard to directly enter the Indian Ocean. And once it has enough control in the Indian Ocean, China's control over Africa will be greatly strengthened.

And ******** for long-term development, Africa's resources will be very, very important, and the African market will also be very, very important for China. So, in a strategic sense, Myanmar is a wing for China to reach out to South Asia and Africa. In addition, the resources of the Indian Ocean and Myanmar can be effectively used by China's economic development.

The words that Muyang said to Ma Xiaobo at the beach, although to Ma Xiaobo, sounded like a fantasy, but this is indeed Muyang's ambition, he wants to make Myanmar China's backyard.

Before Muyang came to Myanmar, he already had this plan in his heart, and he has been paving the way for this plan since he took office.

That's why he worked so hard to hold power, invest a lot of money in the development of Myanmar, and improve development projects.

What Muyang is doing now is to promote the implementation of the three major projects as soon as possible, and hopes to determine these projects before Saimaokang's visit to China.

Yes, Saimaokang has accepted the invitation of China's No. 1 chief and decided to pay a four-day visit to China from September 8 to 12.

It is now the beginning of August, and there is still one month to go, and Muyang hopes that these projects can be finalized before Saimaokang's visit to China, so that during the visit to China, they can even directly sign contracts and restart the projects.

Muyang was looking at the documents when there was a knock on the door.

Ma Xiaobo walked in and handed a fax to Mu Yang, "Ambassador, the fax news just sent from China that US President Tripp has decided to visit four Asian countries, including Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Myanmar. ”

Muyang took the fax and read it carefully.

"Tripp is preparing to visit Myanmar, and the time is set for August 22, before President Sai Maokang's visit to China, hehe, it seems that it is intentional, and the United States can't sit still."

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be the first U.S. president to visit Burma." Mu Yang looked up at Ma Xiaobo.

"Yes, Ambassador."

Muyang signed it, returned the fax to Ma Xiaobo, and said to Ma Xiaobo: "You contact the Burmese government, ask about Tripp's specific itinerary, and the officials who will meet with Myanmar, and tell me after understanding." ”

"Okay ambassador."

Ma Xiaobo left the office, Muyang put the pen into the pen holder, tapped his fingers on the desktop, and began to ponder the issue of the US president's visit to Myanmar in his heart.

Myanmar has just announced Sai Maokang's visit to China in a month's time, and the White House announced that Tripp will visit four Asian countries this month, which is actually relatively hasty in time, and the preparation time is less than a month.

It seems that the United States is very worried that Myanmar will completely throw itself into the arms of China. (To be continued.) )
