Sweeping political changes in Myanmar over the last years and changing attitudes towards Myanmars giant neighbour China have forced Chinese residents and companies to adapt.

In a special report, the South China Morning Post examines jade trade and smuggling along the porous Myanmar-China border. It follows a Chinese state-owned hydro-power conglomerate lobbying for the construction of Myanmars biggest dam to provide electricity to Chinas Yunnan province.

It visits activists hiding from politics as they organise demonstrations against a copper mine run by a subsidiary of a Chinese arms manufacturer and follows the landmark trial of a group of journalists facing up to 14 years in jail for reporting on an alleged Chinese chemical weapons factory.
