They have tried via Afghanistan-Pakistan and that got thwarted when US joined the people of Afghanistan from a ghoulish Chinese Proxies reared and bred as Pakistani “Talibans” … a takeover that was taking place … Same things are marching on in Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal, Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh, … all captured land properties of India in the last Chinese -India (Chines-Land-Grab-War – which they succeeded in and also so FELL Tibet !!!) while they used Pakistan to stretch and distract India !

June 24, 2009 (DVB)–New images have emerged that show North Korean and other foreign advisers in Burma consulting with officials on what now appears to be an extensive network of some 800 underground tunnels across much of the country.
While rife government corruption and uneven development in Burma yesterday awarded Burma a spot at the bottom of Foreign Policy magazine’s Failed States Index, billions of US dollars are now known to have been channeled by the Burmese government into building the tunnels.

1. I think it is beneficial to explain the Burma military regime’s perception from Robert Jervis’s psychological approach dealing with motivational bias. However, I think the same approach should be applied to the U.S. and U.K. but from cognitive bias perspective because at the time their scholars were flirting with the “democratic peace” approach, which had led to the mishandling of Burma.

2. Both Albright and Rice were Russian experts with little knowledge of Asia, plus they were the product of the Cold War education, while the emergence of the 1988 Aug San Suu Kyi pro-democracy movement was the Post-Cold War Japan’s hegemonic challenge objective. The continue lacking of the theoretical knowledge of the Post-Cold War new strategic landscape and the changing of main actors in the arena, had led to the September 11, 2001 attacks. I feel the article did not differentiate between the two very different theoretical frameworks: the Cold War and the Post-Cold War. Japan, the main actor behind Aung San Suu Kyi, was completely not even mentioned in the article.

3. Maintaining the Cold War approach has made the article missed the crucial explanatory tools to explain the strategic interaction of the events. In other words, it can only explain half of the underlie reasons of why the events occurred. For example, the article continued to explain about China from the Cold War attitude when China’s role in the Post-Cold War is just the opposite i.e. India-China relationship.

4. I think it’s time to begin positive and constructive engagement with Burma. Isolating Burma would simply leave political and military vacuum to an undesirable outcome. In order to achieve that, the analyst needs to understand the Post-Cold War Grand Strategy of Hegemon. The hegemonic challengers and the Hegemon have the same Grand Strategy because we just have one world.

Thank you for the details information, I hope to have a chance for intellectual exchange at some point in the near future.
