天朝在缅甸很危险啊 小心几十年经营的基业毁于一旦

The US embassy in Rangoon funded some of the civil society groups in the
Burmese region that forced the government to suspend a controversial Chinese
dam on the Irrawaddy river, according to a US diplomatic cable.
The January 2010 cable on the $3.6bn (£2.3bn) Myitsone dam project
noted that local groups had "voiced strong opposition to the project on
economic, environmental and cultural grounds and have organised grassroots
campaigns to rally others to their cause".
The cable, signed by then US charge d'affaires, Larry Dinger, went on to say
played in opposing the dam, which speaks to the growing strength of civil
society groups in Kachin state, including recipients of embassy small grants
."
Dinger said that although Burma had launched a number of hydropower projects
to address its acute electricity shortages, the Myitsone dam was widely
seen as a Chinese project, with China the principal beneficiary.
"Given past evidence from foreign investments in Burma's energy sector, it
is very likely, as many locals believe, that both construction of the dam
and the energy it produces will primarily benefit Chinese companies and
consumers, rather than Burmese," he said.
Presciently, he added: "Dam-related social unrest is a possibility in light
of the already-tense political situation in Kachin state and the
dislocations the project is expected to cause." |
