It is unsurprising, then, that a lion’s share of the most popular on-screen and onstage productions starring Asian actresses fed into this exact discourse of the Western white savior going to the East and being seduced by an Asian woman.

Burma is also a source country of sex workers and forced labourers in China, Bangladesh, Taiwan, India, Malaysia, Korea, Macau, and Japan.It is almost as if his carnal desires momentarily take control of his mind and carries him away to some dream world where he is then utterly defenseless.
