t p, p to trumps the version of it. that was called c p t, v b. and even now, under biden's, i pass that one by the 1st executive orders, l 14014, dated february 10th, 2021. it opens the flood gates to sanction me and more and for me is entities, even individuals. a quick scroll of the state department website. and you'll find that since then, dozens upon dozens of sanctions have been heaped on why is by it and doing this to an already poor and suffering nation? well, i mean, certainly it has an incredible history of being abused and, you know, tortured by colonial powers. and then by its own military hunter, so it's a long suffering nation. and i really think that, you know, if the world or to, you know, i exercise its ideals, it would, it would, you know, treat me on my very, very differently. but the basic fact is that yamaha has existed in 2 ways for the west, for the united states, one as a kind of a socialist hold out against west and new liberalism, and countries that do dot essentially get sanctioned. you can only exist as a us boss. so if you, if you hold out, if you resist pressure, then you know, you will be sanctioned. uh, you know, the us will try and break your part or they will sanction you to that. so that was the earlier part of yeah, and my as history and then it became jo, strategically important. and there was an opening that was built by the us support of our son, sushi, who had, you know, a certain popular legitimacy. and it seemed like for a moment, there that not only was the us going to be able to turn beyond more into the latest us, uh, neo liberal frontier for mass extraction that an exploitation. but that it was also just strategically critical. and that they, us envision that it could tote and more a, to its side as a bowl wark and as a weapon against china, simply because you know that vicinity. but also, as i said before, the fact that it is a critical roadway for the belt and road in particular. it seals china in the us as a plan to choke off china at the south china sea, where 5 trillion dollars worth of goods. chinese goods, travel, and 70 percent of china is oil moves. and if you can choke off the south china sea, you can bring down china, except the china can bite bypass the south china sea, but i going overland through myanmar and then through capital port in rock kind state into the indian ocean. so then yeah, and my itself becomes very, very critical. and, you know, leading up and about a decade before the crew, they were massive protests that were funded by the united states against the belt and wrote under the pretext of environmental isn't visual or any d funded attacks. and protests when uh, the crew happened, all of that became neutralized. and so then the us results back to its old hammer, which is even more a sanctions, even more threats. because it didn't, it wasn't able to extract what it wanted on the sensor g military cohabitation. now it's going back to its old habit, which is to sanction the country to death under the pretext of humanitarian causes. i mean, the humanitarian causes, of course, are a real concern, but they are also a pretext from the standpoint of the us is realpolitik towards me and more. alright, going back to us on sushi. so she's been kind of in and out of house arrest since 1988 for her political activism. her human rights crusades, she had brief stints in between as the countries, defacto pm. she won a nobel peace prize in 2012. but under her student as foreign minister in 2015, however, there were alleged human rights abuses in me and more against ro, him the muslims. and what's going on with the brain to now and how does that impact the unrest in me and mart today? will the ro hang are still under extreme stress? you know, there's currently a, a, a, a case of the i, c, c for genocide against me, add more, which also implicates on son sushi. as you know, one of the facilitators of it and she defend the military against that, but yes, they've been subject to ethnic cleansing. i think, you know, we remember in 2017, around august there was, you know, the massive ethnic cleansing started. 700000 refugees fled, i think over a 150 were internally displaced. and that's in addition to 300000. that of already that had already fled to a bangle. and so, you know, somewhere in the range of $1100000.00 refugees have been displaced because of that . and they still suffer discrimination stress and extraordinary threats. but it's also important to put that into context. the 1st context is that kind of ethnic cleansing had been happening across the board to almost all of the ethnic minorities, certainly other ethnic minorities in the right kind state. for example, the rook calling themselves, they were, you know, a considered to be a terrorist and were subject to ethnic cleansing, what the oxide, sushi and the military referred to as the for, knows, no food, no information. you know, no trade, nothing. they were again being starved to death and you know, not the numbers were again in the hundreds of thousands. and that's true for the qur'an, the kitchen chin. almost every ethnic minority that has not that did not sign a compact with military who, utah was actually under extreme stress. so we have to kind of take this notion that there's something, sing dealer about the roll hang the oppression. the roy king, the ethnic cleansing us something singular, it's not, it's, it's something that has been part and parcel of the continued state of affairs. in fact, i think it's important to interrogate why the rowing guy themselves were, you know, put into the limelight as opposed to all the other ethnic minorities that have been exposed and subject to similar types of oppression. and then the other piece that's also important, which is often left out of the picture, is that, you know, the rowing has an army called are. so it's uh, it's hard to come out. yeah. cheese, which has been a designated a terrace, not just environment, but also in malaysia. and they've been terrorizing that on ro hang. but essentially, this has to do with a long history of the united states weapon icing is law, make fundamental as tucked ferry groups as a way to undermine and to attack its enemies. so that is also part of the picture. i'm saying that i want to separate our so from the rowing guy in general. but i do want to point out that, you know, the us has a history of using extreme best as lumnick tara, as a way to create disruption and to create a provocation. and to force its way on countries that it considered as to be enemies, states the once again, the even larger context has to do with the fact that the rowing, the muslims were probably, according to most reliable historians were brought in. they imported by the british into myanmar as laborers and also as part of the bridge, a strategy of divide and conquer. they were muslims, and uh, you know, most of yeah and mar, despite many of the cities is primarily buddhist and buddhist animist. and so they, the british, used the rowing of muslims as a proxy force. they actually use them to fight. i was on the other, you know, that is the other forces that were trying to liberate themselves from a british colonize ation. and then they promise the rowing of muslims, a state, their own independent state inside the inside myanmar in rockford and state. and of course, this was a problem, the british had no intention of keeping, but it was enough to create ongoing threat and ongoing a civil war and is civil war that lasted for decades. and then has really kind of re ignited in more recent years. that's a tragic story for you know, so many minority groups across me and martin and nobody's really talking about them . all right, we've got to make that the last word. unfortunately, t j no asia pacific affairs expert. thank you so much for your expert insight today . be sure to check out teachers latest writing at pearls
