Experts talk about Aung San Suu Kyi's visit to China: the new Government move closer to China

China Youth daily news on August 19, from August 17 to 21st, Senior Minister of State for Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar on an official visit to China. Aung San Suu Kyi as apart from ASEAN, China will first visit to the country, a move that particularly eye-catching.

"Hillary Clinton as her friends, Obama invited her September visit to the White House. But after she became the leader of Myanmar, her first visit to the country for his trip choose a different destination: Beijing. "The straight tunnels in the New York Times in an article that Aung San Suu Kyi's visit is not unusual.

Now 71 years old, female, "Nobel Peace Prize" winner Aung San Suu Kyi, has become a "democracy" symbol, in the eyes of Western society, "political Star". "Such a pro-Western figure, will visit destinations outside the ASEAN countries selected for the first time in China, it really creates a great contrast in the minds of people. "China and globalization think tank (CCG) researcher, Institute of international relations of Chu Yin, a Professor of public administration, told China Youth daily, China Youth online reporters analysis said. He said:

"Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar's new Government in the West appears to be a new, democratic Government, this Government move closer to China, Western with mixed feelings. ”

In addition to the Western perception of complex, Chu Yin also believes that Aung San Suu Kyi's visit is concerned, another important reason is that "Myanmar is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia, adjacent to the Bay of Bengal, and the strategic importance. Meanwhile, Myanmar is also of Asian banks is expected next 30 years one of the world's fastest-growing, enormous economic potential. "Myanmar's economy is not developed, but from a strategic location and economic potential, movements in Myanmar affects all sight.

After the new Government took office, there are several aims in terms of the interior needs to realize, this is the choice of Aung San Suu Kyi and China approached the main driving force.

First of all due to economic considerations. To Myanmar's storage area, with "shattered" to describe the country's economic situation. To revive the economy, there must be investment and markets. Chu Yin said: "the United States investment in Burma is not more Japan investment in Burma, but Japan domestic market for Myanmar's economic pulling power is limited. China's investment in Myanmar is large in scale, and is the largest neighbor of Myanmar, is the world's second largest economy, China an attractive market for Myanmar. Based on national interest considerations, pragmatic choice and China close to Aung San Suu Kyi, which is quite normal. "Chu Yin believes that Aung San Suu Kyi this strategy shows that to a certain extent, its quite tragic and legendary compared to the first half," now Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is no longer an emotional romantic revolutionary, but a pragmatic politician ".

Promoting the process of national reconciliation is another political goal of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. On May 31 this year, Myanmar announced the formation of the Presidency consists of 16 members of the 21st century "Panglong Conference" Preparatory Committee on August 3 this year, Myanmar set up a 21st century "Panglong Conference" central organizing Committee and to prepare this meeting on August 31. The original "Panglong Conference" in February 1947 in Panglong town in Shan State in northern Myanmar, when the ethnic Burmese, Shan, Kachin and Chin leaders signed the Panglong Agreement, agreed to establish the unity of the Union of Myanmar, jointly from the United Kingdom colonial rule. Aung San Suu Kyi wants to emulate history, promoting the peace process in the country. The New York Times quoted a Myanmar informed sources said, Myanmar has expressed the hope that China, in reconciliation, plays the role of mediator in the peace process.

However, Myanmar with China approached in the pragmatic option, does not mean that are alienated from the United States and Japan. Chu Yin said: "Aung San Suu Kyi must balance their domestic relationships, needs China's support, without United States support. United States, after all, is Aung San Suu Kyi to power the maximum force, and its values and United States is also very close. "For these reasons, Chu Yin believes that Myanmar will strategically maintain a more neutral position. He said: "in China and the United States to dance between in China and the United States to find a balance between, this is the strategy of a small country, small wisdom. ”

For the analysis and interpretation of many of Aung San Suu Kyi's visit, but one is clear: between Myanmar "less conflict and more cooperation" would be very beneficial for both Myanmar and China. China, Myanmar's strategic position is very important. Chu Yin believes that if future kyaukpyu from Myanmar to China's Yunnan-Kunming railway linking up this land route is of great strategic significance. Myanmar's economic development space is enormous, and early involvement of Myanmar's economic development, but also conducive to China's international cooperation in capacity. China's explosive growth in investment in Myanmar in recent years, China's protection of Burmese Chinese enterprises and personnel will also depend on the Sino-Myanmar relations have been developing well.

In addition, Myanmar also has a lot of common interests in other areas. For example, good cooperation between Myanmar, regional security cooperation, cutting off "East Turkistan" molecular activity line in Southeast Asia, the fight against drug trafficking and illegal immigration has played an important role.

专家谈昂山素季访华：缅甸新政府向中国靠拢

　　中国青年报8月19日消息，8月17日至21日，缅甸国务资政昂山素季对中国进行正式访问。昂山素季将中国作为除东盟以外首次出访的国家，这一举动格外引人瞩目。

　　“希拉里把她当作朋友，奥巴马邀请她今年9月访问白宫。但在她成为缅甸领导人后，她为自己首次出访大国的行程选择了一个不一样的目的地：北京。”《纽约时报》在一篇文章中开门见山地道出了昂山素季此访的不寻常之处。

　　现年71岁的女性“诺贝尔和平奖”获得者昂山素季，已成为一个“追求民主”的符号，成为西方社会心目中的“政治明星”。“这样一个亲西方的人物，将首次出访东盟国家以外目的地选在了中国，这的确在人们心目中产生了极大的反差。”中国与全球化智库（CCG）研究员、国际关系学院公共管理系副教授储殷，在接受中国青年报·中青在线记者采访时分析说。他表示：

　　“昂山素季领导的缅甸新政府，在西方看来是一个民主的新政府，这个政府向中国靠拢，令西方百感交集。”

　　除了西方观感复杂，储殷还认为，昂山素季此访之所以受到关注，另一个重要原因还在于，“缅甸是东南亚陆地面积最大的国家，毗邻孟加拉湾，战略位置重要。同时，缅甸也是亚洲银行预计的未来30年世界增长最快的地区之一，经济潜力巨大。” 缅甸经济虽然并不发达，但不管从战略位置和经济潜力来看，缅甸的动向都牵动着各方的视线。

　　缅甸新政府上台后，在内政方面有几大执政目标需要去实现，这是昂山素季选择与中国走近的主要驱动力。

　　首先出于经济考量。去过缅甸的储殷，用“百废待兴”来形容缅甸的经济现状。要振兴经济，必须要有投资和市场。储殷说：“美国在缅甸的投资不多；日本在缅甸有投资，但日本国内市场对缅甸经济的拉动力有限。中国对缅甸的投资规模大，且是缅甸最大的邻国，又是世界第二大经济体，中国市场对缅甸而言具有吸引力。基于国家利益考量，昂山素季务实地选择与中国靠近，这是很正常的。”储殷认为，昂山素季的这个战略选择在一定程度上表明，与其颇具悲情和传奇色彩的前半生相比，“现在的昂山素季不再是一个感情冲动的浪漫主义革命家，而是一个沉着务实的政治家”。

　　推动民族和解进程是昂山素季的另一大政治目标。今年5月31日，缅甸总统府宣布组建由16名成员组成的21世纪“彬龙会议”筹备委员会；今年8月3日，缅甸成立了21世纪“彬龙会议”中央组委会，并拟于8月31日召开这一会议。最初的“彬龙会议”于1947年2月在缅甸北部掸邦彬龙镇召开，当时与会的缅族、掸族、克钦族和钦族领导人签署《彬龙协议》，同意建立统一的缅甸联邦，共同脱离英国的殖民统治。昂山素季希望效仿历史，推动缅甸国内的和平进程。《纽约时报》援引一位缅方知情者的消息报道称，缅甸已表示希望中国在和解、和平进程中充当中间人的角色。

　　不过，缅甸在务实选择上与中国走近，并不意味着会与美、日疏远。储殷认为：“昂山素季要平衡其国内各种关系，既需要中国的支持，也离不开美国的支持。美国毕竟是昂山素季得以上台的最大外力，而且其价值观和美国也很接近。”基于这些原因，储殷认为，缅甸在战略上会保持比较中立的立场。他说：“在中国和美国之间跳舞，在中国和美国之间寻求平衡，这是小国的策略，也是小国的智慧。”

　　虽然对于昂山素季此访的各种分析和解读很多，但有一条是显而易见的：中缅之间“冲突少、合作多”，对缅甸和中国都将是非常有利的。对中国而言，缅甸的战略位置很重要。储殷认为，如果未来从缅甸通向中国云南的皎漂－昆明铁路真的能贯通起来，这条陆上通道将具有重要战略意义。缅甸经济发展空间巨大，及早参与缅甸经济发展建设，也有利于中国的国际产能合作。中国近几年在缅甸的投资呈现爆炸式增长，中国对在缅中资企业和人员的保护，也将有赖于中缅关系的良好发展。

　　此外，中缅在其他方面的共同利益也有很多。比如，中缅之间的良好合作，将在区域安全合作、切断“东突”分子在东南亚的活动线、打击贩毒和非法移民等方面发挥重要作用。
