A cross boarder oil and gas pipelines to enable oil and other oil-derivatives to China is already in plan as China and Myanmar signed a pipeline contract between China and Myanmar to slash the transfer time for crude oil imports.
The agreement reportedly consists of pipeline project as well as join-venture for hydropower projects. China and Myanmar plan to build 2,000-km gas and oil pipeline through Ruili and Kunming in Yunnan province which can tremendously cut out oil cargos long detour through the congested Malacca Strait.
The project is however under strict control due to Myanmar's history with human rights which means less injection of capital from external sources. As the project benefits China in great length, Beijing is offering incentives including cheap loans and tax breaks to attract foreign participation.
