Dung Hoe in Burma--

They did not follow Deng Xioa Ping's reforms in Burma--not really, as though they had SEZs (Special Economic Zones)

they did not really allow most people to get rich
only their circles

and flies got in, like Western culture

but most importantly they did not allow the Burmese Farmer to get rich
instead pulled down toddy palms with tractors
took farm land

had farmers some women crying near the tractors and bulldozers.

So really it is Dung Hoe in Burma.

Ho Dung.
Some white elephant dung.
