Why The US and Its Allies Are Hell Bent On Destabilizing Myanmar - China Opens Rail Line With Access to Indian Ocean via Myanmar
China's BRI opens new routes into South East Asia enriching the region, accessing the Indian Ocean, and lessening China's reliance on the South China Sea as a primary access point, which is why the US is giving so much attention to it.
"The rail line will enable China to trans-ship cargo from Singapore Port via Myanmar. Cargo will be shipped from Singapore Port to Yangon Port. From there it will be transported to Chin Shwe Haw in the Kokang Self-Administered Zone by road, and then by rail from Lincang to Chengdu. It will take three days to get from Lincang to Chengdu by rail, according to the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar.
The route is the first to link western China with the Indian Ocean. And it will significantly reduce the time needed to import cargo to landlocked Yunnan Province. The route will go through Mandalay, Lashio and Hsenwi on the Myanmar side."
