China’s Policy Adjustment toward Myanmar in the Context of China-U.S. Relations

Abstract

A complicated process of political and economic change has begun in Myanmar and the convergence of a series of geopolitical dynamics needs to be addressed, specifically in the context of the relationship between the US and China. The key to the possible future coexistence depends on what all three parties (China, the US and Myanmar) can derive from developing interactive collaboration. If differences can be mitigated, including the disagreements around the internal domestic policy of Myanmar, then the chances of peaceful coexistence and cooperation will be high.
