In a special report, the South China Morning Post investigates how ethnic Chinese residents and Chinese companies have adapted to the sweeping political changes in Myanmar over the last years and changing attitudes towards Myanmar's giant neighbour.

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.
