midas Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) I hope I can reactivate this thread to throw a theory into the ring? Firstly is anyone as surprised as me at the speed at which things are changing in Myanmar? Literally within weeks there have been a flurry of BBC World interviews with celebrities who have recently visited the country as well as Aung San Suu Kyi herself all commenting on the rapid changes. Aung San Suu Kyi has also just confirmed that she may enter the Parliament. Then we just had the announcement about Hillary Clinton going there. What struck me about Myanmar when I was there in 2005 was their almost complete arrogance about the rest of the world and what was most noticeable to me in Yangoon was the very prominent role of China. At the airport there seemed to be a huge number of flights coming in from China with loads of Chinese tourists. On every street corner there were new developments or refurbishments occurring again under Chinese control. My big question has been what has prompted Myanamar to act this way so quickly? Then this morning I heard this interview with Gordon Chang regarding China who I know many people regard as a perpetual bear on everything to do with China, but listen to what he says in this interview about what is happening to the ruling elite in China and equally importantly the massive change in leadership of China which is going to take place next year. My theory is that Mynamar sees the writing on the wall and that China can no longer be its benevolent big brother and so it realised it must significantly change and should do so very quickly? I don't know about anyone else but this reminds me so much of the way the previous USSR satellite countries like Latvia, Estonia, Poland etc changed very rapidly to a market economy when they realised Russia was breaking up?

Naam Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I bet there are lots of " collectibles " buried away in rural homes over there Naam ! i'm not so sure about that Midas. in the late 80s and early 90s Bangkok's official and much more the black market for antiques was brimming with collectibles from Burma and Cambodia but that's over since more than a decade. Yangon and the bigger cities like Mandalay seem to have been cleaned out. not by foreigners but by locals doing brisk crossborder smuggling. even far away places (i spend a couple of weeks up north in Lashio in 1998) had at that time hardly anything to offer.
