Its not that they are are worried about how the world sees the regime that worries them, its that that if foreigners are allowed in, they'll convince the population how good they have it outside of Burma and cause the people to revolt. As they say, governments should be scared of their citizens, but in Burma, with absolute control, they don't have that.
