Dear Sir/Madam,

Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) has the pleasure to share its latest
ACHR Weekly Review titled "BURMA'S ROAD TO DEMOCRACY: China v West in
Burma".

This has been published in The Bangkok Post today i.e. 08 December 2011 as
an Op-Ed and is available at:
http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/269772/subjugation-to-china-vs-west-desire-for-resources

It is also available at: http://www.achrweb.org/Review/2011/234-11.html

The article urges that the junta's choreographed democracy must be
analysed from a historical perspective. One of the despicable measures
taken by Gen Ne Win following the coup of 1962 was to seize the properties
of Indian-origin Burmese who had been living in Burma for generations, by
nationalising private property in 1964. Over 300,000 ethnic Indians were
also expelled. Gen Ne Win feared domination by the Indian-origin Burmese
in the administration and major business enterprises.

About 50 years later, Burma finds itself in the same situation, but now
with the Chinese. However, the junta can not afford to expel the Chinese
the way it expelled the Indians. Neither India can be the counter-balance
to China. The only option available to the junta is to open up Burma to
the West that requires meaningful democratic reform.

Before the West and Japan join the rat race for exploitation of the
natural resources of Burma, it is essential to ensure a clear roadmap to
democracy in Myanmar.

We thought you would find this of interest.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely



Suhas Chakma
Director
