That's a joke that the Myanmar military dictatorship wants closer relations with the US. Oh so China was behind the coup but the military behind the coup wants to side with the US to escape China? The could've done that without arresting Aung San Suu Kyi. It's obvious that the leadership wants the attention off themselves. They probably thought since Aung San Suu Kyi lost favor with the US, they could getaway away with removing her and the US would do nothing to them. They think China is a bigger target for the US so they hope that tempers Western anger against them.
