Why China got upper hand in Myanmar?

NO matter you like or dislike, China owned natural gas pipe line has been lunched yesterday in Myanmar. Though a lot of criticism through construction of pipeline, China has built its ambitious project to the end and launched officially in front of Myanmar's VP-2. The pipeline development has paved the way in the expense of our forests. Its quality has been casted under doubt by watchdog. There were a lot speculation that the gas pipeline was leaking when it was tested for commission. Also some victims along pipeline yet to receive their compensation though pipeline opened. 

Overall, China is getting another license to absorb Myanmar's latest natural resource with probably under market price. It is China who take advantage from the project and Myanmar's people are put under risk of exploration anytime while it is operating. We all know that China's product are sub-standard and dangerous. The problem is our government still apparent happy with the activities of Chinese firms on our home soil. China is doing more and more projects on Myanmar's soil as if it is their own territory and Myanmar citizen's unhappiness against Chinese become bigger by time.

The fact said natural pipeline would be joined by another ambitious oil pipeline and cross nation railway line. As some activists highlighted before, I am sadden to learn our country's map is effectively divided by Chinese own projects. I just don't understand the army's slogan that nobody is more loyal than army/soldiers. It look like my country is fond of planting signboards across the nation and do not care to enforce about it. I guess NLD won coming election in 2015 and ASSK become next president. Otherwise Myanmar's future is in the brink of Chinese influence. May God this time favors the will of our people.
