Background

The Sino-Myanmar pipelines include oil and natural gas pipelines linking Myanmar's deepwater port of Kyaukphyu (Sittwe) in the Bay of Bengal with Kunming, Yunnan Province, China. Talks between China and Myanmar on the feasibility of the project began in 2004.[38]

The plan to build the oil and gas pipelines was approved by China's National Development and Reform Commission in April 2007.[39] In November 2008, China and Myanmar agreed to build a US$1.5 billion oil pipeline and US$1.04 billion natural gas pipeline. In March 2009, China and Myanmar signed an agreement to build a natural gas pipeline, and in June 2009 an agreement to build a crude oil pipeline.[40] The inauguration ceremony marking the start of construction was held on 31 October 2009 on Maday Island.[41][42]

The Myanmar section of the gas pipeline was completed on 12 June 2013 and gas started to flow to China on 21 October 2013.[43][44][45][46]The oil pipeline was completed in August 2014.[47]

Social and Environmental Impact

The pipeline traverses Ma-De island in Myanmar. Beginning in 2009, residents of Ma-De had their land seized or purchased by the government, and "Fearful of oppression by the junta, most didn't express objections and accepted whatever compensation they were given."[48] According to a November 2015 report by the National Resource Government Institute: "Many villagers still feel unfairly treated; only lands under cultivation were paid for, while plots used for firewood were regarded as vacant. On Ma-De Island, a total of 114 acres belonging to 30 farmers was reportedly seized without compensation."

Opposition

In March 2018 in Rakhine state, Myanmar, approximately 600 people marched to demand compensation for land seized to build the Sino-Myanmar Gas Pipeline and the parallel Oil Pipeline.[49] "Because of this gas pipeline, many villagers lost their land, and CNPC and MOGE haven’t taken any responsibility for it,' said protest leader Zaw Win Lay."[49]
