Myanmar, a country that has recently changed its form of government from a strong militaristic type to a more modern democracy in the past couple years. With its new form of democratic government the country has now shifted their economic way from a central, controlled economy to a now market oriented one. This new market change has increased the economic growth of the country and so much so that the World Bank has predicted there will be an astounding 6.9% of economic growth over the next three years. Along with the changes in Myanmar, countries such as China and Japan have decided to sink in some projects for the country in order to create a symbiotic relation between\u00a0 the benefactor and the recipient. For China It’s about creating a deep water port on the city of Kyaukpyu in Myanmar, in order for China to have greater trade access to the Indian Ocean so that they can avoid the South China sea in case of a potential blockade from foreign adversaries as well as bypasses the straight of Malacca making the new route safer for Chinese goods, due to avoiding the potential choke points the strait gives. For Japan, they have started to financially and physically\u00a0 help Myanmar since their recent change to a democratic form of government, Japan supporting this change whole heartily. Japan has helped Myanmar with 800 billion yen, mostly focused around the urban development in Yangon as well as shipping and electricity infrastructure.<\/p>\n
In my opinion what’s happening to the country of Myanmar is great. The country is now a democratic state, it’s economy is growing at an astounding rate. Powerful countries are funding Myanmar making it become a more influential state. However, the amazing progress that Myanmar is relishing in does not mask the atrocities that take place there with the rohingyan genocide that is taking place in Myanmar. What’s even worse than the government looking over this horrendous genocide that is taking place, is the powerful countries that are supporting the country. Due to China being known as the global boogie man it would be expected for them to help a government that is over looking a genocidal atrocity. Even so they aren’t necessarily helping Myanmar that much financially, they are mostly getting invested in a sole area in order to create a deep water port so they can have a safer mean of transporting energy goods. Japan should most definitely be looked down upon in regards to their actions in helping Myanmar. Japan is a close United States ally, so it should seem that Japan would think about morals before helping a country that supporting a genocide. However, in reality what Japan is doing is most likely for benefit of its self. Seeing a country having amazing economic growth would be a smart move for the Japanese in its national interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
