For­eign in­vest­ment in Myan­mar could great­ly ben­e­fit the coun­try if its peo­ple are not left be­hind.

Chi­na may have cre­at­ed a tool for de­vel­op­ing coun­tries that builds do­mes­tic ca­pac­i­ty with­out multi­na­tion­al dom­i­na­tion.

As Myan­mar con­tin­ues its sur­pris­ing path to re­form, le­gal changes are need­ed to pre­vent im­pe­ri­al­ist de­vel­op­ment schemes.

The re­la­tion­ship be­tween gov­ern­ment and eth­nic mi­nori­ties may be the piv­otal is­sue block­ing prop­er re­form.
