Chinese companies top human rights ‘dirty list’ of firms complicit in Myanmar violations
Chinese companies make up the bulk of a “dirty list” of corporations accused of involvement in human rights and environmental violations in Myanmar, or of doing business with the country’s military.
The list of 49 companies from the US, UK, France, Switzerland, China and elsewhere, compiled by the pressure group Burma Campaign UK, reveals the global breadth of international organisations that have continued to provide arms, infrastructure, technology, engineering and expertise to the Myanmese military, or supported projects that have been accused of causing environmental destruction, such as hydroelectric dams and jade mines.
