Abstract

In pace with their fast economic development, many countries energy needs keep getting more and more important. Because of its rich oil and gas resources, hydroelectric power, and mineral products, Myanmar's geographical position is seen as highly strategic. It has thus recently attracted growing attention from China, the United States, Canada, India and ASEAN countries. China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline project has been beneficial to both countries, but it still encountered considerable resistance. Cooperation between China and Myanmar also depends from other powers involved in Myanmar, which creates new challenges for China. More specifically, cooperation with China has already been impeded by ethnic conflicts in Myanmar, which always poses the risk of deferring those projects under construction . Furthermore, China also has to take into account the influence of other countries, such as the United States, India and ASEAN countries. In sum, cooperation between Myanmar and China can bring benefits to both countries in politics and economic, but also in matters of societal development.
