A registration number in Burmese script covers Chinese text on the side of a lorry parked at Nyaungshwe near Inle Lake, Burma, July 2006. China is currently the only state partaking in major trade with Burma, a pariah state isolated from most of the international community. Chinese food, shoes, bicycles and trucks are everywhere, and Chinese goods are taking the place of many local products in Burmese markets and stores. Photo: Ed Giles.
