On the brink of implosion/ Kerry Brown - 2007

India and China have growing economic interests in Burma. Both China and India are acting in their national interests. Ironically perhaps, this means the world's largest democracy appears to be cosying up to the generals, while China would prefer Burma was democratic and respected human rights at least in order to preserve stability. The Burmese leadership is probably now getting the clear message that it needs to do something to prevent further demonstrations of political instability.
