Myanmar president praises cooperation with China in flood control, disaster reduction
NAY PYI TAW, Oct. 16 -- Myanmar President U Thein Sein on Friday spoke highly of the cooperation with China in flood control, prevention and disaster reduction, thanking the Chinese government and people for rendering timely assistance during the disaster.
U Thein Sein made the remarks when meeting with the flood-prevention experts group from China's Ministry of Water Resources in Nay Pyi Taw.
Since July this year, most parts of Myanmar suffered severe flood triggered by torrential rainfall, especially the Ayeyawaddy river basin, which was the worst-hit area.
U Thein Sein thanked the Chinese government for its extension of precious relief supplies to Myanmar people in the first hour and Ambassador Hong Liang for personally traveling to the forefront to comfort the victims.
By sending an expert group to Myanmar to launch a flood prevention survey, China is offering practical assistance to Myanmar, he said.
Leader of the Chinese expert group Su Qingpeng expressed willingness to cooperate with Myanmar in technical exchange in the sector to share China's experience in flood control, which he expected will play a positive role in Ayeyawaddy river management.
On Friday afternoon, Myanmar Vice President U Nyan Tun, leading key members of the country's National Disaster Reduction Committee, heard the survey report made by the Chinese expert group, saying that the group's suggestion for a long-term plan for disaster reduction is beneficial and valuable for Myanmar.
He believed that the exchange and cooperation between the two sides will strongly enhance the two countries' traditional friendship.
The Chinese expert group carried out the survey from Oct. 5 to 15 on the irrigation facilities in six regions in Myanamr, namely Yangon, Ayeyawaddy, Bago, Magway, Sagaing and Mandalay.

China pledges support for next Myanmar government regardless of winner

During an interview at a media forum in the Chinese capital last week, Sun Haiyan, director general of the international department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, said China’s relations with Myanmar would remain unchanged.
“We will support any government, whoever wins the election,” she said.
The media forum was a sideline event of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties.
The conference was called to help promote China’s ambitious Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative. Attention was also focused on the Chinese-founded Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
A total of 57 countries, including Myanmar, have applied to become founder members. Myanmar will pay US$264.5 million over 10 years as its contribution. Despite widespread interest in the region and beyond, the bank has aroused scepticism in some quarters, with the United States, Japan and Canada refraining from participation.
No Myanmar political parties attended the Beijing conference last week due to the event’s proximity to the November 8 election.
“We invited both the ruling party and the opposition to send representatives, but they said they could not come because of the election,” said Ms Sun.
The once-close relations between Myanmar and its giant neighbour have appeared to cool since the emergence of a new government in Nay Pyi Taw in 2011 and its engagement with the broader international community, especially the United States, Europe and Japan. Within Myanmar, Chinese investments have encountered public opposition, prompting speculation that Beijing might be reconsidering its attitude to Myanmar.
In 2011, President U Thein Sein ordered the suspension of the controversial Myitsone dam project in Kachin State amid accusations that the huge hydropower project was having a damaging environmental and social impact.
Local residents have also staged repeated protests against the Letpadaung copper mine near Monywa, Sagaing Region, sparking a violent responsefrom the Myanmar government, including the shooting of unarmed demonstrators and the alleged use of white phosphorous against protesting monks.
Another controversial Chinese project is the natural gas and crude oil pipeline linking Kyaukpyu in Rakhine State to the Chinese border. Opposition from local people and organisations arose over land compensation and other environmental and social issues.
Since February this year, fighting has occurred between the Tatmadaw andethnic Chinese Kokang insurgents near the border. China launched an official complaint and deployed military aircraft and troops to the border region after Tatmadaw artillery shells fell on Chinese territory, causing casualties among Chinese citizens.
If China’s relations with Myanmar are age-old, its interest has been renewed in the light of its southern neighbour’s growing strategic importance as a regional hub. Beijing is concerned to ensure that its intentions and positions are properly understood.
“There are problems on both sides,” said Ms Sun. “Some Chinese companies are not behaving well, and our government is training them in the exercise of greater social responsibility.”
Other experts agree that the need for Chinese companies investing in Myanmar to behave more responsibly is a major concern.
“You could criticise the bad behaviour of some Chinese businesses. They don’t do enough even in their own country. They don’t pay enough attention to environmental protection,” said Yang Rui, host of CCTV English Section, who served as a panellist in one of the media forum discussions.
Since Myanmar’s transition got under way, China has sought to maintain close political ties to the government and the Union Solidarity and Development Party, with regular exchanges and reciprocal visits taking place.
But last June, Chinese President Xi Jinping also invited National League for Democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to Beijing for talks. It was the first time that China had extended such an invitation to an opposition leader from Myanmar.
China also invited U Aye Maung, chair of the Arakan National Party(ANP), to visit in July, apparently to hedge its bets in its dealings with a future Myanmar whose political complexion was changing in unpredictable ways.
In addition to protecting its investments, another motive could have been to resolve misunderstandings at a time of rapid and dynamic change in Myanmar. China is talking to representatives of diverse forces and learning how to cope with different voices so as to be able to maintain a steady, healthy and sustainable dialogue between the two governments.
Mr Yang said he believed China is quietly acting to position itself in Myanmar so it can weather any future political changes.
“We hope for a genuine process of national reconciliation in Myanmar. And we hope that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will play a positive and more powerful role in the future.”

So much negativity, my friend, even with respect to an issue that is development-oriented by nature. This attitude, if becomes national, will stunt your economic prospects.

That's unfortunate if becomes, again, a national psyche. Domestic politics, even in a very technocratic bureaucracies such as Vietnam, is bound to be influenced by popular perception, which often leads to unwise and non-prudent decision making.

As u can see on DPF, Vnese vision is far better than any other Asian nations. We predict correctly the fall of RMB, the time TPP come out, the fall of the oil price etc....
So, unlike other Asian nations who always need a leader, normal Vnese simply know what to do to make a better nation
