China ‘exploiting developing world’: Clinton

By FRANCIS WADE | 30 November 2011 | DVB

Developing states are unlikely to benefit long-term from growing investment from the likes of China, whose need to supply for its energy-hungry population means its fiscal policies abroad are taking on an increasingly exploitative quality, Hillary Clinton has warned.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton headed to Burma Wednesday in the first top-level US visit for half a century, hoping to ignite a “movement for change” in one of the world’s most closed nations.

After attending an aid conference in South Korea, Clinton flew to a little-used airport in Naypyidaw, Burma’s remote showcase capital unveiled in 2005 by military rulers of the strategic but long-isolated country.

A BURMESE PERSPECTIVE: An Analysis of President Obama's Speech in the New Cold War

By Kanbawza Win | 26 November 2011

The rise of China in every respect in today’s geopolitical situation has created a new bipolar world compounded by the fact that in 2000 years China, for the first time has access to the Indian via Burma due to the Burmese Junta’s survival tactics, seems that Burma will be one of the hot spots in the new impending Cold War. Admittedly neither China nor US has any real desire for a ‘New Cold War’ to start, but deep suspicion and an unwillingness to break the mould of relations are leading to the emergence of these increasingly robust hedges and weakening of moderate forces on both sides. Until now, neither the US nor China has been fully prepared to face up to the underlying divisions because they imply some difficult choices. The corporate and economics still sees China as a major new commercial opportunity, while still far short of the power to represent any sort of a challenge to the world order.

The leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), meeting at the 19th Asean Summit in Bali, Indonesia, announced on Thursday that its members had unanimously agreed to give Burma the chairmanship of the regional bloc in 2014.

Burma had been scheduled to assume the chairmanship in 2016, but requested to take the chair early after being passed over in 2006 due to concerns over the repressive methods used by the country’s previous authoritarian regime.
