Beijing will not allow its interests in Burma to be “stamped on”, the state-run Global Times newspaper said Wednesday, as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton headed to the isolated nation.
China has long been the primary supporter of the Burmese junta and the military-dominated civilian government that succeeded it.
But Burma has surprised observers with a series of reformist moves in the past year — including shutting down work on a controversial dam project backed by Beijing– leading to speculation it is trying to diversify its foreign policy.
“China has no resistance toward Myanmar [Burma] seeking improved relationships with the West, but it will not accept this while seeing its interests stamped on,” the Global Times daily said of Clinton’s visit.
It said the decision to halt work on the Myitsone dam had brought “massive losses” to the state-run Chinese company that backed the project.
“This incident made some believe that Myanmar is showing goodwill to the West at the expense of Chinese interest,” it added.
US President Barack Obama’s administration, while saying it wants a cooperative relationship with a rising China, has recently gone on the offensive amid suspicions over Beijing’s intentions.
Obama recently announced the stationing of US troops in Australia– a clear sign of US priorities at a time of tight budgets — and has pushed ahead a trans-Pacific free trade agreement that for now excludes China.

China is bullying neighbouring countries. If China wants respect, China should behave appropriately. Respect of human rights and environment. At this point, China is selfish and bully. How can people respect China and greedy Chinese Business that thinks of making profit and money. Shame on you China.
China knowingly invested in Myanmar when the legitimacy of the military government was in question. It’s like putting your money into an illegitimate business and if the business got busted, can you expect return from your crime proceeds. As partners in crime China also have to take the loss. China has never been a good neighbour for Burma so what can one expect?
So what does China want to do? A war. Chinese only understand money, cruelty and bullying. They do it to themselves. They do it to others.
What they forget is that the Chinese invasions of Burma in the past always failed as said by Mao Tse Tong himself and even though Than Shwe’s army is scared of the Chinese, the Burmese are never afraid of the Chinese.
Do it China. Because with or without your military slaves, we are going to act.
China is buyer and than shwe and thein sein(2TS) are sellers, shop owners. All buyers want the cheapest, quality goods but China has a UN veto card. 2TS, sellers slightly fear deadly revolution after thinking about recent democratic up-risings but all bama cities up-rising were failed due to lack of firing arms in people except ethnics small arms . 2TS play the best winning game on (poor economy ) US&EU, weak DASSK(no military weapons) and greedy China with temporary stopping of Myistone dam so as to gain the points( making more distant to DASSK with China as DASSK objects Dam, gaining the world recognition from 2014ASEAN chair to “than shwe” DASSK supported and world military superpower H Clinton shake-hand visit-to make bama military famous).
Killing more ethnics and no political prisoners during H Clinton visit means toothless tiger upon US military superpower who is only permitted to visit small TS, not to ethnics. But ming Aung Laing( commander in chief-Kokang Shan’s rapist and killer) signs quickly with China for defense co-operation in use of H Clinton visit to re-assure of China UN veto card again. H Clinton donates money partly for landmine victims of bama armies as well as innocent ethnics as she has no strong word for Bama military’s raping and killing ethnics except psychotherapy to 2TS. 2TS and his business crony own a lot of properties and lands in Burma to be more valuable quickly after lifting of US sanction(2TS will exchange it with small number of political prisoner-token but 2TS can imprison them anytime if they want). 2TS need finance to buy more arms to protect themselves( by killing more ethnics, revolved bama) and enriched USDP for next coming election to beat DASSK.
The main culprit is “two TS” without any foreign degree win the game significantly this time. Ming Ko Naing and Ko Ko Gyi, the fighting tigers are in the cage for crippling. H Clinton doesn’t want to repeat again the history of failure in Korean ,Vietnam, Laos and…
Cambodia wars to make against communist influence over Asia by her super-military technological might. Obama is busy for next election. 2TS doesn’t need US buying power except US veto card and military sales. Than shwe, ASEAN chair owner is now peacefully praying the Chinese Buddha and studying how to become a next bama king again in coming election( in future there is a next brutal bama “than shwe king stature” in Nay-Pyi-Daw, from his greatest wish with the slogan of unifying Burma). In constitution, than shwe can come back to rule and can kill all what he wants legally. 2TS own all Burma shops so many buyers will visit Burma in future if they have UN veto cards respectively(Russian arm factory owner is coming with exact appointment now-see news). Be aware the tricky game of 2TS who is trying to use Ne win ‘s trick(Bama-Chinese deadly clash in 1967) upon greedy China as well who now fear US more invasion to Asia.
Rich 2TS show the faked painful wound to China with accusing of irritating by lip-service US and DASSK. 2TS laugh at “Obama” has merely one “O” more than “bama” so zero, nothing. China is greedy brainless pig by 2TS. The real winners ,2TS are bama real king and puppet king respectively , riding on the white elephants gifted from Thailand democratic elected beautiful prime minister who don’t dare to meet DASSK’s praise on her in order to avoid 2TS angry for granting bama business. ASEAN are business hungers by 2TS. Exciting game so You, all are not necessary to point your fingers to other countries.
“This incident made some believe that Myanmar is showing goodwill to the West at the expense of Chinese interest,” it added.
I wish the above would be replaced by the statement below:
“This incident made most believe that Myanmar is showing goodwill to her own people at the expense of Chinese interest,”
