NAYPYITAW -- China and Japan are forging ahead with independent plans to improve Myanmar's transportation infrastructure, with projects that have the potential to alter the flow of people and goods in the region.
Beijing on Thursday inked a long-awaited deal to build a deep-water port in the town of Kyaukpyu on the Indian Ocean. The port will be a crucial piece of the China-Myanmar economic corridor, which would connect Kyaukpyu and the Chinese border via rail and highways.
