What was happen to the new Chinese city in Myawaddy?

Chinese BGF and Border Guard Force (BGF)  The new town, which is being built in Shwe Kok Myaing, has been suspended for construction beyond the government's permission.

Since the start of the project, known as the New China  There have been questions, but two tall buildings have emerged in the past two years.

 The Chinese are living in the countryside.  Online gaming rooms and venues;  Comfortable villas, villas, villas, and villas  KTV  Spa  Club and entertainment halls;  There are hotels and casino buildings with casinos.

 There is also a nightclub in the modern Southeast Asia, which is said to be worth about 7,000 baht (K3,000) per hour.  Those working in the area are Chinese, Chinese, and Thai.  Cambodia  Lao PDR  Only the Philippines are appointed.


 Chit Lin Myaing, a joint venture with the project, said that local and nationals were banned from doing so in the entertainment industry.

It is not legal now that some of the modern halls and buildings are beyond the legal limits.

 The buildings also include about eight buildings and a land area, including a nine-story hotel with a casino.

 The company has been trying to legalize each building, but the state government has yet to make a decision to submit it to the Union government.

 The new city project was started in 2017 by the Chinese company Jilin Yatai Group and BGF's Chitlin Myaing Company in partnership with Myanmar Yatai International Co., ltd.

 More than 200 acres of land has been applied to the state government for the project, but critics of China's investment have criticized it.  Due to concerns, only 62 acres of land were donated.

 “China is hot (Karen State Prime Minister Daw Khin Khin Myint) is hot.  I'll just do each part.  If you fail, you will only allow the first half of your troubles, ”said Saw Min Min Oo, managing director of Chit Lin Myaing.

 Saw Min Min Oo is also a member of Myan mar Yatai International Co., Ltd, a registered company in China.

 The Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) also allowed the construction of 25.5 acres of land on 62.5 acres of state-owned land, only US $ 22.5 million and 59 high-rise villas.

 Thousands of Chinese workers, workers and businessmen ignored the restrictions.  Yes, some locals say that construction and labor have been left unchecked.  It is difficult for locals to enter the project area where security gates are located.


 There is also speculation that the new town is under the control of the BGF, and that government officials are calling for it to be taken too late.

However, there are also plans for the casino and the casino.  KTV  Entertainment like Club  Hotels,  Housing and shopping centers;  Golf Course  The Chinese company is expected to invest billions of acres on thousands of acres of land, including parks and airports.

 Chit Lin Myaing Company said that the application for land and buildings has been submitted to the government for the extension of the project, but it has been difficult due to delays in the inspection process.

 "We want to make it legal," he said.  It was all good when explaining the project.  The second half of the 72 acres was added to the land order, and it was delayed.  The MIC has not been able to submit the land as yet, ”said Min Min Min Oo.

 The proposed new city project is about 12 miles from Myawaddy, a major border trade town between Myanmar and Thailand.

 It is also on the Asian trade corridor as well as on the road to the BRI's China Economic Corridor (BRI) project.

 “The Myawaddy is the main link to China because the BRI will open through Myawaddy.  It is not too far from Myawaddy, and the Chinese come to study.  Just to get shares.  When the people came, they had to build a hotel to shelter the Chinese.  They are from Yangon and from Thailand. ”

 Borderline  There are also concerns about the security of Chinese nationals and their daily arrivals.

 Chinese youths wearing smart western clothes are also seen as a security guard near a Chinese businessman.


 "What they call is money just for show.  Just open the door and give the tea a drink.  That's not a sure soldier.  No weapons are allowed.  They don't even have guns.  The company does not allow us to hold it, ”said Saw Min Min Oo, managing director of the company.

Jilin Yatai Group, which operates the project, is also being viewed by Thailand as a Chinese-backed company.

 “The border is not just a business, but a lot of gambling and gambling.  The drugs will come.  The main concern is the fact that there is military criticism, ”said Naw Kay, chairman of the Karen National Democratic Party.

 He is also a former MP of the Union Solidarity and Development Party, which won the 2010 election.

 Some Chinese businessmen involved in the construction of the new city were previously known to be online gambling operators in the Philippines and have even been granted permission by the BGF to do so.

 The profits of the online gambling game have not been affected by the BGF.

The only thing that matters is that they build a lot of mobile infrastructure and play online games.  That's a problem for you.  Initially, people were to stay.  And then some of them play.  China does not allow that.  Thailand does not allow it.  When you look at whether or not you have a fraud, they find that they only work with China.  Thailand has warned us, ”said Min Min Min Oo.

 According to existing gambling laws, online gambling games are not legal.  Casino is legal if it meets the requirements.

 “There are organizations that have come from the organizations to make casinos in line with the legal framework.  The government also has to pay taxes.  They also want to legalize it. ”  State Assembly Representative Aye Chen Kham said.

 Local residents say that casinos and online games are not uncommon in the Myawaddy border area, but more on these two sides.

 Some local businessmen with connections to China are interested in the new city.  Clubs  There are a lot of customers in the online gaming industry.


 Chit Myaing's company has been providing entertainment and casinos to locals and local businesses.  The online gaming industry is banned.

The project's population is about 3,000, many of whom are Chinese nationals with visas, and many come from Thailand.

 Myanmar registration  The number of Chinese visas that came with Myanmar visas has been sent to the Burmese Embassy, ​​but the exact number of Thai visas and visas is unknown.

 There are also indications that it is difficult to verify because there are so many resources along the border.

 “There were some regulations, but they were stolen.  If they are problem, it's must be resolve.  So, in the meantime, they are KTV;  It is allowed to open spa and spa facilities.  Sometimes, it was clear to the Chinese that they were holding a girl.  There we decided to pay 200,000 Baht.  There is also action against the BGF, ”Saw Min Min Min Oo explained.

 It is used only by the thousands of Chinese workers, as well as the brick and mortar needed for the project.  Sand  Stone  The furniture industry has also been established by the Chinese and has been used by locals for criticism.  It's a question.

Local people have agreed to enter the MOU for employment.  Contracts have become poor.  So we asked you to take care of the workers and their needs.  The work on this side was allowed before it was even allowed.  Jobs are not as you expect them to be said  Min Min Oo.

 There is also confusion over the investment finance accounting for the proposed MIC.

 Only about $ 2 million in construction costs are completed, even after the approved housing units have been completed and the buildings exceeded the permit.

 “We don't dare to finish this MIC yet.  The machine in the original allowance was only about 6 million.  We are renting them from you, and there is a list of them.  Buying goods makes it easy to do business with border trade.  We have to check the books carefully, ”Saw Min Min Min Oo explained.

 There is also talk of a project in the region for the development of agricultural products through raw materials.

 Some Chinese companies have expressed interest, but this has not happened.  Saw Min Min Min Oo said that access to land would be difficult.

 There are even discussions about access to electricity such as hydropower and solar projects.  Currently, Thailand is buying electricity for the project's needs.

 “Thailand has been holding meetings to work with us.  They are preparing.  They are just saying what is right on their side.  There is even negotiation to build a bridge when the gold mining town is in town, ”said Min Min Min Oo.

 The Shwe Kokko area, near the Thai-Burma border on the Thai-Burma border, has been a port for Thailand since the project was completed.  water,  fire,  It has also been reported to the government for waste management.

There was more than twenty rules to defined the city as a city, he said.  They have all come and gone.  I submitted it to the government.  Nothing has come yet.  Not yet.  It's a little bit difficult because it's slow, ”said one BGF official.

 Criticism;  Despite the difficulties, the BGF is hoping to become a modern metropolis with the development of the Armed Forces and its jungle camp with the development of the jungle.

 Chinese workers;  Businessmen;  Local residents are worried about the influx of Chinese citizens as Chinese restaurants become crowded.


 Colonel Saw Chit Thu told the BGF's annual rally in Shwekko, saying that the people were not worried that the Chinese would dominate.

Saw Min Oo told All of the projects involved are under your control. They promise to get him out at any time and  if there are unacceptable stated law.

One day, Shwe Kok Myaing was founded by the late Karen National Liberation Army (DKBA), which was transformed into a BGF in 2010.

The DKBA split from the KNU in 1994.

At one time, Shwe Kok Myaing was the Pan-Shan autonomous region of the Wa-autonomous region on the Burma-China border.  There have also been rumors that it will become a special city in Mong La.

We are also interested in the development of others.  I also want to grow.  We want to stand on our own feet, told Colonel Saw Chit Thu.

Chit Lin Myaing Company has said it has not yet finalized a major contract between the Chinese firm and the Chinese business.

According to a recent agreement, Chinese investment will be made by the Chinese company, with Ching Lin Myaing's share of the profits being 30% and the Chinese company 70%.

Saw Min Min Oo told we want doing legals worked.  And so it is.  I don't want to do something special like other organizations.  Tails  I don't want to be rude.


The army warned the BGF to continue with the project's approval as there are concerns over the construction of the new Chinese city, which has a growing public interest.
Colonel Myo Htut, BGF deputy director general of the Southeast Command, told the BGF to be a part of the nine-year anniversary of the BGF's withdrawal from the illicit business and the preservation of the military and the BGF.

 We need to be careful not to be used by business people around the world, told Colonel Myo Htut.

Chit Lin Myaing from the company said: “The army gave him [Colonel Saw Chit] pressure.  If you are in business, leave the army.  The government also said that if you work, the army will look like the army.  As a matter of fact, it is impossible to do business as a rule.  "It was like a cluttered middle."

Colonel Saw Chit said at the BGF's 9th anniversary that the BGF was to be understood as a Tatmadaw soldier who was born out of armed forces in the short term.

Our comrades are part of the army, but we cannot handle them as a soldier.  So far, no deal has been done.  There are many difficulties in living within a short period of time, as fully as a military officer. 

The Chinese government is cautious about the Chinese investment plans.

High quality housing,  Hotels,  Entertainment centers;  The new town of Shwe Kok, home to hundreds of Chinese gamblers, has become a fixture on the gambling scene.  Criticism is still there.


Even if they do not work for the Karen armed forces, they can see our suffering.  The Chinese have also heard that the Chinese are in conflict with the ethnic minorities.  No doubt they will put more BGF in their brain, he said.
