They are too rich in natural resources. I think that the multinationals and countries such as China, Japan, and the neighboring countries like Cambodia are not yet ready to cut ties with Myanmar.

This is perhaps because of the gag the military put on her. I can't believe that a Nobel Prize laureate can be repressed this way and the world just look on.

But I wonder if it'd be effective at all since it only involves individuals and not general sanctions. EU has also declared increased sanctions on the military regime as it had already been sanctioning them since 1998. Maybe ASEAN should do the most possible thing to do, suspend or expel Myanmar from it's ranks, that way the generals there would get the right message and not be spoiled and very self-confident.

China and India are actually funding the military junta there mainly because they are interested in its still robust natural resources, probably forest products. It's sad that the people of Myanmar are being governmed by what seem to be a gang of bandits trying to make money out of its produce. To myepinoy: That's what I've read.

It's clear that the generals there have no consideration of these, acting so much unlike a modern state that it purports to be. To Ferdz: Even in full-blown war, rules of engagements are observed.

China is protecting Myanmar because it gets cheap oil from there. I guess India also has some economic advantages... I don't think many world leaders have a soul! It is all about the money, the power and their vested interests. Chinese, Russians &amp; Americans... I put them all in the same league!

Also, when big money is involved, everything seemed to be alright as in the case of China, Russia and India, the major stake holders in Myanmar.
