Controversial China 2

I read a sad news of Cambodian hydroelectric power dam project which is under construction by Chinese company few days ago. The on-going dam was broken and took the life of 4 construction workers. Another 4 workers are still missing to make toll up. One local who stay in a village nearby dam project said, the dam started to leak its water few days before the dam collapse finally. If the ordinary person able to notice, why not Chinese construction company's authority didn't aware that? The man continues his saying that the reservoir has now been no water at all. 

It is apparent nothing to do with our people as it happened in different country. In fact, there are a lot of similar dam projects in Myanmar, of which most of them are developed and constructed by Chinese companies. I am not sure if our authority aware the sadden recent news from Cambodia. Sometime corrupted officials unable to be outspoken despite they know things are not going as it is intended to. When it come critical stage, things set to become disaster from the failure of taking care. Then people suffer from the consequence. What a damn is it? Recently I read a local news saying there would be 3 more foreign telecommunication operators. I initially happy to learn the news. But my happiness didn't last long because those all 3 companies are Chinese companies, Huawei, ZTE and Shanghai Bell. All of them are under scandal of US report saying their equipment are serving as spy for their government. Amid such circumstance, our authority awarded these lousy companies for lucrative projects. I doubt there have been some form of corruption in the process.

Currently, our leaders have been headache with increasingly public protest for their unhappiness with government conduct. Most of street protests were linked to Chinese invested projects. Most recent Letpadaung Mine Project crackdown was severely criticized by nationwide including religious societies. This is in fact not first major protest done by our people. The first major protest was Myitsone Dam project which is another Chinese backed project. Wherever Chinese linked, it is most likely to be problem among locals. In past, Chinese people know where to approach to obtain government project and those process are not going through transparency. As a result, China is taking full advantage of mismanagement. Now the country has changed considerably and people have found themselves this is the best time to express their feeling in the wake of military junta step down. I am sure as long as we are doing business with Chinese firms, it will not end stopping public protests in future. Nowadays, our government has a lot firms to be selected for big projects and hopefully they'll be wise enough to choose it from for the interest of our people, rather than their private.
