Myanmar to hedge against slower China trade due to coronavirus

Myanmar wants to expand its exports to other markets to hedge against a potential dip in demand from China, where a new respiratory virus has infected more than 14,000 people and killed more than 300, mostly from Hubei province, where illnesses from the new type of coronavirus were first detected in the city of Wuhan in December. As such, preparations are being made for Myanmar to send more goods to other markets to avoid any volatility in demand from China.
