The Sino-Burma Oil Pipeline is a planned pipeline linking Burma's deep-water port of Sittwe with Kunming in Yunnan province of China's. The pipeline would diversify China's crude oil imports routes from the Middle East and Africa, and avoid traffic through the Strait of Malacca. The project expected to cost US$600 million.

The plan of the oil pipeline was approved by China's National Development and Reform Commission in April 2007, but it is not decided yet whether, when and how it will be built.[1]
