Hello audience, meet again;Recently, there is a small news "China leases Kyaukpyu Port in Myanmar for a lease period of 99 years", some friends may ask, isn't this just renting a port, what do you say;But when I heard the news, the dusty memories in my head jumped out, and they were inextricably linked to form a word "concession", which is indeed a concession;Everyone is familiar with the concession, that is, in that dark era, the general name after the great powers forcibly occupied our cities and ports, independent of the management of the first, what the French Concession, the British Concession or something, are all in order to make it more convenient to divide the wealth of our country.
A friend asked, doesn't this mean that we have also become great powers?Just kidding, our country has always been based on mutual benefit and win-win, how can it be a great power, but we have paid a huge amount of time and money to finally win, is an indispensable step to help our country's national fortunes take off.
Kyaukphyu Port is located in the southwest of Myanmar, direct access to the Indian Ocean, alleviating the embarrassing situation that our country can only go to sea from the Strait of Malacca, a friend asked what is bad about the Strait of Malacca, where the environment is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now it is jointly managed by Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, the United States has long signed a mutual defense agreement with Malaysia, Singapore has a US military base eyeing the tiger, and the rest of Indonesia is one of the strategic partners of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region and Central Asia;And more than 90% of our country's maritime ** must pass through the Strait of Malacca, once someone wants to destroy it, our maritime transportation may incur heavy losses.
Kyaukphyu Port is only 650 kilometers away from Yunnan, and also to Europe, it is thousands of nautical miles less to go to sea from Kyaukphyu Port than from the Pearl River Delta through the Strait of Malacca, and the transportation time can be saved by nearly 1 weekAnd according to the agreement, the construction of Kyaukphyu Port at the same time as the construction of the China-Myanmar Railway, from Dali to Kyaukphyu Port, the completion of the railway will inject new vitality into the cities along the line, drive economic development and promote people's employment, both for our country and Myanmar have great benefits.
You must know that we wanted to take the Kyaukphyu Port as early as 2009, when an agreement was signed with Myanmar**, mentioning the China-Myanmar Railway and the development of Kyaukphyu PortIn 2010, Prime Minister Thein Thanh formally signed an agreement with China, but in March 2014, the Myanmar side suddenly unilaterally announced that the railway and port project was stranded, and it was not until Aung San Suu Kyi came to power that the Kyaukphyu port project was restartedHowever, the good times did not last long, Min Aung Hlaing staged a coup d'état to occupy **, and suspended the Kyaukphyu port project with doubts about the agreement, and the lion opened his mouth to demand an increase in the shareholding ratio, because of various reasons and the political instability in Myanmar, so the Kyaukphyu port was suspended again.
Recently, the Myanmar army and the allied army went to war, but the army was defeated, they seem to feel the crisis, if they do not develop the economy and improve the living standards of the people, the country may have to change its surname;After learning the hard way, Min Aung Hlaing** finally made up his mind to befriend this neighbor in the north.
The Kyaukphyu Port Agreement signed with Myanmar has not only achieved China's major strategic goals, but also allowed us to have direct access to the Indian OceanThe additional economic benefits are also huge, and our cargo can have a faster rotation rate, which may soon be the second Shenzhen for Kyaukphyu Port.
