The Chinese have aggressively involved themselves in Myanmar yet they are unsure of their future relationship and their investments due to the oncoming democratically elected government. Chinese involvement in Myanmar has been viewed with a great deal of hostility by the locals, as they perceive that the Chinese have exploited their country through corrupt deals and benefitted themselves more than anyone in Myanmar. Consequently, Chinese investment fell from $12 billion in 2008- 2011 to just $407 million in 2012-2013. This resentment has forced the current government to renegotiate most of their major projects to get better terms for themselves. China is also wary of the NLD leader's proximity to the West (US) and its allies like Japan and South Korea. Thus China would have to fight tooth and nail to retain her influence in Myanmar and Safeguard her national interest.

Summary/Abstract

Shaikh Hasina's crushing victory in the December 2008 Bangladesh elections opened a new chapter in her country's relations with Delhi. India had long wanted improvements in cooperation against terrorism and better access to the states of North East India, Bangladesh needed better cooperation over water resources and the trade imbalance. Shaikh Hasina's swift action against insurgent groups trying to operate against India from Bangladesh territory laid the foundations for her very successful visit to India in early 2010 which in turn set the framework for a better future relationship. But in the light of the hostility of many in Bangladesh to improved relations with India, the author examines the options for Indian policy makers. He concludes that the emphasis should be on achieving progress in areas outside security, where progress would be irreversible, while recognising that a real transformation of the relationship would be possible if Shaikh Hasina was able to win the next elections and secure a further term in office.
