Chinatown in Shwe Koh Ko [1]

Thursday, January 24, 2019

Development Projects: Establishment of Chinatown in Shwe Koh Ko, by Chinese companies (Jilin Yatai and Myanmar Yatai) and BGF authorities. This project has damaged lots of people's lands. Some people got compensation, but some did not. Companies enter the local villages and do a lot of development projects such as road construction, gold mining, stone mining, and one company is doing pig and chicken husbandry, all of which damage the health of the villagers.
