The days of mass protests seem to be an an end, with the dictatorship enforcing its power through violence and mass arrests. The UN is talking though the junta leadership continues to be uninterested in speaking with the UN. Realistically the only countries that can have much impact would be China and India and considering China's own modern history with internal dissent I can't imagine them taking a firm stand against the actions of the junta. India though has been disappointingly quiet, probably afraid to risk business being lost to China - a local competitor - if they speak out. That may very well be true, though it is still disappointing.
