NEW DELHI – Isolated and impoverished by decades of international sanctions, Myanmar (Burma) has emerged in recent months as both a beacon of hope and a potential new Asian flashpoint. With Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi freed from two decades of house arrest to campaign vigorously for a seat in parliament in the special election to be held on April 1, Burma’s commitment to rejoining the international community appears to be genuine.
发自新德里——在经历了数十年国际制裁下的孤立和贫困之后，缅甸近来摇身一变成为了希望明灯和亚洲的潜在新亮点。随着诺贝尔和平奖获得者昂山素季摆脱持续二十年的软禁并奋力投入即将在4月1日举行的国会特别选举，缅甸重返国际社会的承诺似乎是真心诚意的。但这一开放政策也引发了其他的后果，而其中最重要的则被设定在一个新“大国博弈”的战略竞争平台上。
