Popular support for the creation of a pan-Asian security structure can be found not only in the election outcomes in Japan and South Korea, but also in the ecstatic crowds that greeted Obama in Myanmar (Burma) during his recent tour. Ordinary Burmese well understand that their country’s democratic transition is the direct result of its recoil from China’s excessive demands on its natural resources.
类似对地区安全的全新关注不仅局限于政府。对建立泛亚安全结构的公众支持不仅透过日韩选举可以看出端倪，透过最近奥巴马访问时缅甸欣喜若狂的群众也能够有所感悟。普通缅甸民众非常清楚中国对其自然资源过度需求所造成的反弹直接导致了该国的民主过渡。
