The U.S.’s economic assistance to Myanmar is often not direct because U.S. sanctions have not been completely lifted and the U.S. cannot publicly provide comprehensive assistance to Myanmar. However, in the past two years, the United States has been continuously exerting its influence on Myanmar through third-party countries within ASEAN. For example, it has used Singapore and other countries to obtain many port operating rights and corporate investments in Myanmar. Myanmar is a relatively backward developing country. It is hungry for funds and projects. The government’s dominance is closely related to its economic achievements. If the long-term backwardness of Myanmar’s economy is not solved, the Myanmar government will face huge domestic pressure. , the US government has seen this, so "economic capture of Burma" must be an important means of the US Southeast Asia policy.
