    This brings in the possibility of future CIC involvement in Myanmar which definitely an option and as such they should look into building a relationship with the people of the area. This needs to be done in a way that does not interfere with the local primarily Buddhist beliefs and helps local people by private aid given to build schools and subsidizing local villagers with agricultural and housing needs which were lost when government sanctions were imposed. This would go a long way toward building a relationship with local people and government which would make entering the country to do business much easier in the future should the business environment improve. This would also allow CIC a way to keep abreast of how the region is doing and if or when it would be a good time to enter the area to expand their…

    Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation in the world and with a GDP growth rate of 6.1% in 2012 it was the fastest growing economy in the ASEAN.FDI has grown by 30% YOY and the government plans to solicit investment worth 140 billion USD from the private sector for development of country’s infrastructure sector. This would suggest that Indonesia is the country to invest and the rail corridor project the ideal vehicle of entry. But one must not forget the 1997 Asian Financial crisis and what it did to the Indonesian rupiah. Public Institutions are still weak and corruption is not completely absent. Indonesia is ranked 100th out of 183 in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index. In 2011, World Bank had ranked the country 128th as far as “Ease of doing Business” is concerned. Moreover, S&P ranks Indonesia BB- at below investment grade. All these might suggest that one should be…

    People’s rights are being violated in this situation because according to the First Amendment, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. In Burma, the rights of the people are being compromised for what the government wants, and not what the people favor. In the U.S., this would be highly unacceptable because it violates the Constitution, the laws that are made to protect…

Myanmar's poor investment climate - including weak rule of law - hampers the inflow of foreign investment; in recent years, foreign investors have shied away from nearly every sector except for natural gas, power generation, timber, and mining.…

There are muds everywhere and they always cause trouble for cars and trains. Thus our government is building roads and railroads around the country for the safety of the citizens. The basic of economic is trading and when people trade, the transportation will be needed. The country economic will develop when people travel to different the places and do businesses. When the politic ants travel around the country to meet the public, they will also need a road. When the military officers receive an order to check an area for the safety of the citizens, they will need roads to get there as soon as possible. By that way people can stay at their houses safe and sound. So people will love the their leader and obey the laws of our country.…
