These are the Sino-Burma pipelines. The oil & gas pipelines stretch from western Myanmar to southern China, traversing areas of Myanmar that either have electricity just a few hours a day, or not at all. Construction began in western Rakhine State in 2011 and by March 2012 had already covered much of northern Shan State.
