They stopped the dam because it was going to flood historic sites and disrupt the ecosystem only for 90% of the energy produced to be given to China. The only thing unfair about it is Myanmar's losses.
The way I see it is that China feels she is being threatened by all her neighbors because of her large military force. Which is the same feelings her neighbors had before US started its pivot to Asia.
Maybe instead of threatening the other smaller nations with her military and economic powers, China should've been more friendly and acknowledged that smaller countries do exist, that those countries still has rights, and when you add all the small countries together they can be an entity that can be respected.
All these news about China feeling threatened or pressured from US presence is the region is getting old. If China really values regional stability, she should even welcome this move. That is, if she doesn't have anything to hide or feel guilty about. The US officials are even thanking China for the warm reception their pivot to Asia received.
The Burmese signed a contract. If you don't like it, don't sign it. They signed it and now they're trying to renege.
Oh great, a Filipino from a country that's trying to steal China's Huangyan Island discovered by the Yuan Dynasty in 1279 A.D.
Good grief. I'm going to sleep.
