Dear DK and Colleagues

Re: Alice in Wonderland Nature of Burma and the Mobile Camera


I was British Ambassador in Rangoon (Yangon) from 1986 to 1990, including the uprising of 1988, and have spent altogether more than seven years in the country. I hope the ATCA Research and Analysis Wing is right that China will exercise the influence it has to promote movement towards some kind of freer system; what they want is stability. If the army was able to consolidate its grip without serious bloodshed and with no more than a token move towards democracy as evidenced by the the new draft constitution, I suspect China would be content.

Yours sincerely


Martin Morland
