Ltd, Myanmar’s largest garments exporter and a subsidiary of SUMEC Textile and Light Industry Co. in China, recently opened a new factory in Shwe Pyi Thar industrial zone in Yangon. More Chinese firms are now investing in Myanmar with its economy opening up, Chinese ambassador Hong Liang said at the inaugural function.
