Residents in the vicinity of the proposed Mong Ton Hydropower Project in Shan State have expressed alarm about the possible resumption of scheme following the visit to the site by executives from the China Three Gorges Corporation.  China Three Gorges Corporation is one of the main proponents of the project, which was halted in 2013 in the face of intense public opposition. The memorandum of understanding between the government and the company was signed in 2010.
