China has supported trans-Irrawaddy bridge development, and improved airfields in Mandalay, Meiktila and Pegu that could give the Chinese air access to the Bay of Bengal, and is reportedly assisting in the development of port facilities along the Burma littoral at Hainggyi and Ramree islands and in Tenasserim (in the elongated southern area of Burma), as well as development of wharf and cargo handling capabilities at numerous Burmese ports. In November, Burma Debate, a publication of the Open Society Institute, reported that nearly 1,000 textile workers in the city of Pegu went on strike to demand more pay and better working conditions. Forestry in key forests in the Pegu Yoma (south-central Burma) and northern Burma could be managed for only short periods as a result of the need for heavily armed guards. |
