A classified U.S. document released by WikiLeaks cites Singapore statesman Lee Kuan Yew as calling Burma's junta leaders stupid and dense.
A confidential briefing on a 2007 conversation between former Prime Minister Lee and U.S. officials was released by WikiLeaks.
It quotes Lee as saying that dealing with Burma's military regime was like talking to dead people.
Ambassador Patricia L. Herbold wrote that Lee said China had the most influence over Burma's leadership of any foreign country. Lee also says China is worried the country could blow up, which would threaten Chinese investments.
The 87-year-old Lee was prime minister from 1959 to 1990 and is a senior adviser to his son, current Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
