Myanmar is vital to President Xi’s “One Belt One Road” project, but China-Myanmar relations have had a cooling off period since 2011, when Myanmar began the democratic reform process. By capitalizing on its strong historical relationship with all sides of Myanmese power, China may be able to carve out a niche and pursue its own interests in the process.

On Jan. 9, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Taiwan Travel Act (H.R. 535) by voice vote. This bill ought to die in the Senate: it is frivolous, unnecessary, and provocative. Here’s why.
