Mr. Lee, do you think Obama's visit to Myanmar can be said that, had this news came out soon after his election, it seems that he is with such intention during the campaign, do you think the big intention to visit Myanmar? Asia-Pacific of the United States to return to such a strategic issue which signal? He and his Secretary of Defense in the neighboring countries of China travel around the world, do you think China should be how to pay attention to?

Li Wei: Many people suddenly see today the message was surprised, including some of Myanmar's opposition is also not appropriate, why so early to go? Because the views of the opposition, now fully open Myanmar, abolishing less appropriate sanctions against Myanmar, Why? Because after you cancel, these bring economic benefits, the benefit of the incumbent government, the current military junta, Aung San Suu Kyi was a leader of the opposition party, and your attention is particularly interesting, in fact, this thing is not very suddenly, as the visit of the U.S. President's words are generally three to six months ago to begin planning for, and why people of Myanmar reported particularly important? This is the characteristics of the media, the title to frighten people, in fact, we see a news, first look on as early as this thing is set, because do not forget to Southeast Asia summit held in Cambodia on November 19, who is going to South-East Asia summit it? Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, the U.S. President Obama, Russian President Putin, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as well as Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, as well as South Korean President Lee Myung-bak go, so many president to go, do you think the election this two-day set, is not, are scheduled to do this a few months ago.

Show to talk about this will just single, Obama also return to Asia policy he proposed a bottom line, the bottom line? He on the way to visit the three countries of Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand topic this year is the 140th anniversary of Thailand and the United States have formal diplomatic relations, you said, I commenced this topic you will understand Obama back in Asia four-day visit to three countries, but also to attend an international conference to keep a number of leaders in China and Russia should meet, you want to Myanmar should be a minor part in this topic inside, but all American media hope we Burma more freely in upside down, the United States and Myanmar in recent years what happens? Aung San Suu Kyi, the previous paragraph is the leader of the opposition party to visit the United States, Obama also met with him, and the United States have always thought that the reconciliation of the opposition and the ruling party is an achievement of the United States to promote democracy, a diplomatic victory, this as an achievement of view.

Also in September, the United States has opened the Myanmar products exported to the United States, the original ban on the export, open now. October, Aung San Suu Kyi stated publicly, if conditional, I am willing to campaign when President Obama this time to visit Myanmar is undoubtedly a support to Aung San Suu Kyi, the more important is the United States who is president important, the key is to see a more pro-American countries in Asia, are not neutral line, and obviously, this return visit to the three countries, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar traditional friendly neighbors, not only traditional, in the some areas contradictions dispute process, Myanmar and Cambodia in the South China Sea issue is basically in that half-hearted, will never keep up with Japan or Vietnam or the Philippines go to the South China Sea issue will not stir up this matter. When you see in many Southeast Asian session, as long as China's participation, often these countries stood up and said do not put this issue to engage in large, do not go communique this problem, so these are traditional friendly countries.

Obama to show with know the country, the first in line with his strategy in Asia, second, you at least do not tell too close, I'll tell you to mix, can point you to the side, if you are only 10 centimeters by the Chinese rely on a 90 cm, can not stand to the middle, that is, each 50 cm, which is the final idea of ​​the United States, but his final thoughts he can not stand to 10 cm and 90 cm from the Chinese, because now return to the fundamental purpose of the Asian two points to his economic interests, and the second for his military interests, we all know now, the United States economy is very sluggish, and the world's fastest growing economy in the region only in Asia, not Africa, not South America, not North America, more than in Europe, and is not in Japan, based in China and India laps up the entire ASEAN Asia, so this time of high economic growth, if I let the United States to participate in the economic construction, I export products to have a bigger market, under the same conditions, if I am under the political and military support you, you are not able to take care of my product, take care of my product I like accountable to my constituents, so he economic interests.

Second, the presence of the military, we all know that the United States would have a global strategy, global strategic focus, a few years ago has been a focus on the Middle East, mainly because after the events of September 11, the focus is to find bin Laden, find Afghanistan to find Iraq a few years, especially the nationals of the United States that consumes that too, began to feel the hit Saddam Hussein, hit Afghanistan quite pleased, but later found became a burden on the United States every year to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in spending, and no further, say you into the first date, an Afghanistan Clearly, the United States after the withdrawal of troops in 2014, Afghanistan's economic cooperation is certainly more cooperation in the region, not to mention Afghanistan and Iraq, playing down, actually two countries so far for their own survival and economic needs, but also Iran relationship is very good, so the United States is that I took so much strength, this market has not brought down, the result is actually nice with Iran, I turn around to look at Asia can do something things, but I have this agenda, his four-day visit to three countries, an international conference on the fact, Myanmar is not the focus of the back access, but the ASEAN summit is his priority, his election will be about national the congratulations of the leaders, in addition to research the issue of the next step, because the issue is complex, tense Sino-Japanese relations, and this time he is also going to talk about, so we untie him, not to say that Myanmar is Important.
