*Analysis ~ As of Last week, without China assistant U.S. and Jeju summit held in South Korea by Japan, China and the host were unable to produce positive energy to punish Pyongyang for warship sinking, as China ignored to condemn North Korea on the incident. The world is helplessly listening to drum tunes of U.N. sancations against Pyongyang of no avail.
Due to daisy chain reaction, it has created the hasty departure of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama after only eight months in office could paralyze Japanese politics or force the creation of a new ruling coalition, analysts said Wednesday, with key elections looming and the battle over the future of a major U.S. military base still unresolved. Hatoyama's Democratic Party, which will name a new chief Friday, moved quickly to keep Hatoyama's resignation from creating political chaos in the world's second-largest economy.
At the moment, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is in Myanmar, to further curtail U.S. influence in India and spread it's wings over Indian ocean with Chinese navy port facilities in Pakistan, China has supplied a vast array of advanced military hardware to Myanmar, including fighter planes, naval vessels and tanks, and other infantry support weapons.
Basic motive of China is to secure energy lanes from Middle Eastern countries, taping every energy leads in Africa and Latin America for it's growing domestic needs. Beijing's growing economic and military influence will be highly visible in the coming years. By Roger Smith DTN News ~ Defense-Technology News
Source: Roger Smith DTN News (NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - June 3, 2010: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao arrived in Myanmar on Wednesday for talks with the military junta chief who has promised elections later this year.
Mr. Wen, the first Chinese premier to visit Myanmar since 1994, is scheduled to hold talks with Senior General Than Shwe in the military capital Naypyitaw on Thursday, diplomat sources said. He was scheduled to visit Yangon’s famed Shwedagon Pagoda on Wednesday and fly to Naypyitaw, 320 kilometres north of Yangon, on Thursday. 
China, one of Myanmar’s few international allies, has expressed concern over the junta’s efforts to force several ethnic minority groups in the north—eastern part of the country to lay down their arms and join government—led militias prior to polls this year.
Several groups such as the Wa, Shan and Karen have refused to disarm, raising fears of fighting in the Shan State, which borders China’s southern province of Yunnan.
Last year, Myanmar troops attacked the Kokang, a minority group that is ethnically Chinese, who had refused to surrender their arms to the government. The attack forced thousands of Kokang to flee into China.
While in Naypyitaw, Mr. Wen is also scheduled to meet his Myanmar counterpart Thein Sein and sign agreements boosting economic ties.
“He will sign the bilateral agreements on economy and trade in Naypyitaw when he meets the Myanmar leaders,” a Chinese diplomat in Yangon said.
According to official figures, trade volume between Myanmar and China was 2.9 billion dollars in 2009. Chinese investment had reached 1.8 billion dollars by January, accounting for 11.5 per cent of direct foreign investment in the country.
