Abstract
The respective relations of the US and China with Thailand and Myanmar were virtually unchanged for decades: Thailand was closely allied to the US, while isolated Myanmar was often heavily reliant on China. In recent years these firm allegiances have become shifting sands: while Thailand’s governments since 2000 have leaned closer to China, Myanmar’s moves to civilian government since 2010 have increased its orientation to the US. This chapter considers the prospects for the US ‘pivot to Asia’ in both these countries and draws some conclusions on the current balance of forces between the US and China in relation to all the countries in Southeast Asia discussed in this section of the book.
