China moving fast on economic corridor with Bangladesh and India

The Linchan border economic cooperation zone, the nearby Chin Shwe Haw trade post in north-eastern Shan State, and the Chin Shwe haw border check point are three areas that will be key to building the Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar (BCIM) Economic Corridor, an initiative strongly endorsed by China.

The corridor will include projects such as the Kumin-Chin Shwe Haw-Kyauk Phyu rail road, the Tarli-Linchan highway and Chinyan airport, which are considered central for linking south-western China to south-east Asia.

On December 24, 2005, China laid out a budget for a special gate at the Chin Shwe Haw border crossing. The border gate is mainly opened for importing for food. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
