From the perspective of world history, in addition to many world powers and world superpowers, there are actually many regional powers in the world. The most typical is Burma, which had a high status in the Eastern world in ancient times. Moreover, the entire country is vast, with a large population, and a powerful military. It even defeated the Qing Dynasty in Asia. Moreover, in modern times, Myanmar has developed rapidly and has become one of the richest countries in Asia, which has greatly increased its national strength. For this reason, its status in Asia is very high, and the current Myanmar is constantly declining, so what status is Myanmar now in the world? You may not think of it.
Myanmar has an area of more than 670,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 50 million. It is the largest country in the Indo-China Peninsula. At the peak of Myanmar, it had a high status in the world, and it was the number one power in Southeast Asia, even stronger than Thailand. It is also the third strongest country in Asia after my country and Japan, and it can be said to be very powerful. But after World War II, this country quickly declined, so what is the status of Myanmar in the world? You may not think of it, there are mainly four points.
First, the per capita GDP is the lowest in Southeast Asia.
In modern times, the per capita GDP of Myanmar surpassed that of Japan. It is the richest country in Asia, and its per capita GDP is comparable to Western developed countries. But now Myanmar has the lowest GDP per capita in Asia, and Southeast Asia is the lowest, with only a few hundred US dollars. The whole country is impoverished and miserable. Myanmar has become a very poor country.
Second, the political presence is very low.
In the face of modern times, that is the leader of Southeast Asia, the whole force is very powerful, and the status is very high. And now in the ASEAN system, Myanmar’s position is very embarrassing. Although it is large and has a large population, its presence is very low. It is not even as good as Brunei, not as good as Singapore and other small countries, and the gap with Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc. is huge. . From the boss of Southeast Asia, it has become a small political country in Southeast Asia, and its presence and status are very low.
Third, the military strength is weak.
Myanmar during World War II,It belongs to a country with strong military power in Asia. At that time, the Burmese army was very powerful in terms of training and military equipment, so even countries such as Vietnam did not dare to provoke Burma. However, the current Burmese army has poor training, poor weaponry, and poor combat effectiveness. Even the domestic militia cannot solve it. Therefore, the military is very weak, which makes its position even more embarrassing.
Fourth, the least developed countries.
After World War II, the whole of Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, the two regions that are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, are the fastest growing, with the emergence of the four Asian dragons, and many countries have developed rapidly and become quasi-developed countries. Even Vietnam is developing very fast now, but Myanmar has become one of the few least developed countries in Asia, the least developed countries in Southeast Asia, and the domestic economy and industry are in a mess. The status of the whole country is also declining, so now Myanmar has a very low status in the world, and it is no longer the same.
