A Peacock Between Two Giants: Suu Kyi on Sino-Us Relations
Posted on | oktober 4, 2012 | No Comments
One of the wonderful features of Aung Sang Suu Kyi’s visit to the University of Louisville last week, and there were many, was the significant length of time that was given over to questions and answers. It was particularly exciting to see the exchange between Suu Kyi and the refugees from Burma that now call Louisville home. As a China watcher, however, I was most fascinated by her response to an excellent question posed by University of Louisville Professor of Political Science, Charles Zeigler:
“As an authoritarian regime, Burma was very close to an authoritarian China. As it democratizes, assuming that process continues, where do you see Burma’s international position going. Will it retain close ties with China? Will it draw closer to the United States? How do you see that evolving?”
