Aung San Suu Kyi's incoming government is considering a rethink of a controversial Chinese-backed dam in Myanmar and looking for ways to end a military conglomerate's "privileges", according to her party's economic advisor. Her new government, which is expected to take office in early April, faces a raft of economic challenges, not least the continued financial clout of Myanmar's military, while needing to manage delicate relations with China, its biggest trading partner.
