Myanmar has made a lot of progress but not enough that all sanctions should be lifted

See all tags

Sanctions bar U.S. companies from involvement with military-controlled businesses and ban the importing of jade and gemstones (which are generally sold by military-run companies or their cronies)... Allowing U.S. companies to do business with military-owned conglomerates in Myanmar is not the way to grow that country’s economy. Nor should the U.S. drop a requirement that U.S. companies in Myanmar file reports on their anti-corruption efforts and the steps they have taken to ensure workers’ rights.  And as Secretary of State John Kerry said in May, lifting remaining sanctions should rely on a substantial revamping of the country’s constitution.
