China could protect it's interest AND rein in Myanmar.But refused to do so & was against BD in every step in this issue.
On BD, we have failed because of our ineptitude & idiotic views regarding foreign relations & will probably continue to fail if current trend continues.
BD needs to introspect hard & question the choices it made that led to it currently standing alone.
And may I just say what a bullshit philosophy "Friendship to all, malice to none" is in current world?
Instead it should be "Speak softly & carry a big stick."
My only reference point are uncles that I have met growing up and the useless politics they do with each other in the NY area.
I can only imagine its the same way in Bangladesh and extrapolate this further into the national and international level.
I have met Bengalis who are super smart and capable.
It would be nice to have those types of individuals in important roles especially related to domestic and international policy.
But I fear nepotism and corruption determine who fulfill those roles rather than aptitude.
And thus we have the results we all see.
BD foreign policy is di#kless.
And I wonder what the hell Hasina and AL is thinking.
India is not a friend.
Are they too clever or that stupid and blind?
As for China, there isn't a whole lot BD can do.
