China has signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with Myanmar on the joint construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC), which analysts said is a further sign of Myanmar's willingness to integrate and benefit from the Belt and Road (B&R) initiative.

He Lifeng, chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), China's top economic planner, and Myanmese Minister of Planning and Finance U Soe Win, represented the two nations in signing the MOUs on Sunday, according to a statement published on the NDRC website on Monday.

CMEC, an important part of the B&R initiative, is a 1,700-kilometer-long corridor that connects Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan Province, with three economic centers in Myanmar - Mandalay, Yangon New City and Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone. The corridor marks the largest foreign investment in Myanmar in years, media reports said.

"CMEC is an agreement that combines China's demands with the development impulses of Myanmar, allowing Myanmar's most developed regions to boost trade connectivity with China, while also providing China with an alternative way to transfer oil from the Indian Ocean," Xu Liping, an expert in Southeast Asian studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Monday.

I think it is really a big news!

But why so low-key?

yes. i'm glad to see this. it will connect the Kyouk Phyu SEZ and the majors cities of Myanmar like Yangon and Mandalay to Kumming of China. there is also a plan of several EZ and railways to be constructed along with corridor. the products of land-locked yunnan province can directly be exported via Kyouk Phyu SEZ. it's win-win for both countries.

MM dont want it to be a headline of western newspapers during this hard time. "u know who" can make some more problems in rakhine again or can threaten Myanmar with sanction. since oil pipeline project become opeational , long-time quiet rohingya problems was alive. first time was happened just after declaration of pipe line becoming operational. 2nd one was just after the final agreement of kyouk phyu SEZ in last year. perhaps gov dont want more pressure so they make it low key. i think.
