Description:
In November 1977, Burmese dictator Ne Win made a visit to Cambodia, then under the control of the Khmer Rouge. Prompted by a request from China, the trip also helped Ne Win to neutralize the influence of the Communist Party of Burma by exploiting a growing rift between the conservative CPB leadership and reformers rising to power in Beijing. Bertil Lintner examines this revealing episode in Ne Win?s political career.
