Of course, China benefits greatly from access to Burma’s energy and other natural resources. But, by playing a positive role in bringing about a successful and peaceful transfer of power, China can secure a friendly neighbor in Burma more effectively than with its current policy, which merely incurs the hatred of the Burmese people.
中国的国际利益要求它不能永久地支持缅甸军政府。当然，中国也因为能够开采缅甸的能源和其他自然资源中获得了巨大的利益。但是，通过在引导权力成功和和平的更迭中扮演积极的角色，中国可以比它现行的政策更有效地让缅甸成为一个友好的邻国，因为它现在的政策只会引发缅甸人民的仇恨。
