They Do Like the Bad Boys

China chooses an ally:

A five day state visit of Burmese leaders to China, which ended on the 11th, resulted in China pledging to back Myanmar and its military dictatorship diplomatically, financially and militarily.

Ah yes, yet another repressive state flirts with China, and Peking swoons at the offer. Oh, they were friends before, but now the relationship goes deeper.

India will no doubt take notice. They might also want to review the British 1944-45 offensive into Burma during World War II
