Myanmar shwe kokko: inside the city “built on fraud”

In 2016 he signed a contract with Karen’s warlord, seeing Chit Too, and together they built a new city. She saw Zhijiang provide funds, Chinese construction equipment and materials, and Chit Tu and his 8,000 armed fighters keep it safe.

The flashy video by Yatai promised a $15 billion investment (£12.1 billion) and portrayed a high-rise wonderland of hotels, casinos and cyberparks. Shwe Kokko, described as part of Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative or BRI, brought China’s funding and infrastructure to the world.

China openly dissociated from her in 2020, and the Myanmar government began investigating Yatai. It built well beyond the 59 villas approved by investment permits and operated the casino before it was legalized in Myanmar.

In August 2022, she was arrested and imprisoned in Bangkok after acting on China’s demands for Interpol. He and his business partners saw Chit Too have been approved by the UK government for links to human trafficking.

The Lord claims she is a victim of double trade by the Chinese state. He says he founded his company under the direction of the Chinese State Department’s ministry, claiming that Shwe Kokko was part of the BRI at the time.

He accused the Chinese communist leadership of turning him on. He says they wanted a colony on the Thai-Myanmar border. China has denied business ties with her.

He denied the cheating on Yatai’s side, but she admitted that the “high probability” was “high probability” that the con artist was coming to Shwe Kokko to spend the money.

“Because our city of Yatai is completely open to anyone who can come and go freely. It’s really difficult to reject customers for businessmen like me. This is my weakness. .”
