    Yet instead of using these resources for the country’s development
    through industry and job growth, military leaders have been exporting
    them for over a decade. This has generated huge revenue flows, but
    a lack of transparency and mismanagement of these revenues has left
    Burma with some of the worse development indicators in the world,
    creating a resource curse.
    Sales revenues of natural gas exports alone amounted to US$ 2.5 billion

    Myanmar

    On remote Madae Island on Myanmar’s western coast, the Chinese state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), is constructing a huge seaport, oil terminal and oil and gas pipeline to China for shipping more than 80% of China’s imported oil from the Middle East and Africa without people’s consent, and without implementation of EIA, SIA and FPIC. The construction of these projects has resulted in human rights abuses, massive land confiscation, environmental destruction and destruction of the islanders’ livelihoods and farmlands.
