i find this comment by @redditors_are_racist to be quite correct
Aung San Suu Kyi was always a thinly veiled despot that let the western left/liberals impose whatever horseshit they wanted on her. That’s it. She never described herself as an activist, stateswoman, or any of the laudatory bullshit that came out of the “Free Burma!” reading rooms and agitation from the 1990s. She won a Nobel Prize because Myanmar was aligned with China and she was a thorn in their side. If you actually looked at her interviews she always despised the rohingya as foreign invaders.
Fast forward to Obama’s pivot to Asia and wanting to knock Myanmar out of the Chinese orbit into the American one. The US promised to wipe the slate clean and lift all the sanctions and meanie bullshit if the junta let her form a government, and for a while it looked like Myanmar would get normalized relations with white nations. Hell, Obama and co. were willing to wipe away a real deal, 100% legitimate genocide in order to get them out of the Chinese camp (look at the rohingya camps in Bangladesh, the mass displacement, the rapes and mass graves etc. to see what genocide looks like. no adrian zenz required).
Of course, this didn’t work, and she never recanted nor repented for her distaste for the rohingya, even doubling down and going to the Hague to tell them to fuck off for calling their genocide a genocide. Obviously this left the west with egg on their face. Turns out she wasn’t a democrat and a liberal, just another power hungry and connected politician who wanted to be in charge and was willing to let the west do the shaming and sanctioning if it got her the job.
Today Myanmar is still best buddies with China, the sanctions are back on, and the junta that runs the show no longer needs the fig leaf of keeping her around since the rohingya have mostly been driven out into bangladesh (who are also committing their own slow motion ethnic cleansing by resettling them onto marginal land and letting social murder/neglect do the work). The story of Myanmar is why white countries should really just fuck off altogether from giving a shit about countries that aren’t their own. At best, they shined a spotlight on a mass murder the world would rather ignore. At worst they gave cover to a regime and a scammer working together to accelerate a genocide because the west want to triangulate China.
