@dearsirormadam20 You summed it up perfectly. Democracy and the wishes of the people are of no consequence. China must have its way, so that the military dictatorship shall be protected. China has to get direct access to the Indian Ocean. Inching its way through the Spratley Islands, in the hope of eventually securing the Straits of Malacca, has been too long and costly an exercise. Furthermore, China must maintain the flow of Myanmar's oil and gas that it currently receives by pipeline. Just America has interferes in the middle east, to maintain strategic alliances and the flow of oil, China will do the same in South East Asia. That is what you are really, saying.
