Foreign media said recently that the de facto leader of Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi, will visit China. In our view, the current situation has been accompanied by geopolitical factors in the international public opinion. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Myanmar's military commander-in-chief who holds the actual power, has just concluded his six-day visit to China. During this visit, he met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. "The US is wielding the stick and China is handing out the carrots and the sugar cubes," said Khin Zaw Win, a political analyst in Yangon, “It is understandable that everyone is beating a path to Beijing.”
