As the former British colony embarks on its most dramatic changes since the military took power in what was then known as Burma in a 1962 coup, mega-projects like the 250 sq km (97 sq mi) Dawei Special Economic Zone hint at even more significant changes ahead. Major road and rail routes from the industrial zone, built by Thailand's biggest construction company, Italian-Thai Development Plc, link Dawei's port to China, India and Southeast Asia, creating a new trading route that will allow Southeast Asia to capitalize on its proximity to booming China and India.
