The support to Myanmar from the U.S can be a bulwark against China, which cozied
up to the junta-ruled country.
As U.S. government has relaxed sanctions
in phases and expedited its assistance to the country, and Japanese government
also plans to offer yen credits to the tune of ¥ 50 billion, China may be
stewing over the moves.
Even though the road to further democratization
will be bumpy, I hope the country must use these supports as a springboard to
promote drastic reforms.
