Since the military coup in 2021, China has been one of very few state allies to Myanmar. But in this video, we'll explore how the ongoing civil war threatens to undermine that relationship with China facing significant economic and security problems.

    • Not really true, see Turkey and Azerbaijan and Hungary and Poland working together despite very clear difference in interests both politically and geopolitically... Poland is still protecting Hungary even though they are deeply pro-Russian while 99% of Poland's population would press a button to nuke Russia with a grin on their face, and same for Hungary protecting Poland in the EU with veto powers when Hungary is losing EU money because of it. Turkey is drilling down on Israel being immoral during the Gaza war while Azerbaijan is buying billions of military equipment from Israel at the same time. One can argue US-Israel is another example of a clearly one-sided interest

  • summary of this video 1. China has been a key ally for Myanmar's military regime since the 2021 coup. 2. The ongoing Civil War in Myanmar, especially near the China-Myanmar border, poses security challenges for China. 3. The Brotherhood Alliance, a coalition of ethnic armed organizations, launched Operation 1027 against the military regime. 4. China, concerned about security, urged a ceasefire in Northern Myanmar to protect its economic interests. 5. Myanmar is crucial for China's economic and trade links, with projects like the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor and pipelines for oil and gas imports. 6. Online scams and fraud originating from Myanmar, especially in Shan State, have been a significant concern for China. 7. China pressured Myanmar's military junta to address these scam operations, but with limited success. 8. The Brotherhood Alliance's commitment to tackling fraud operations may have garnered tacit approval from China. 9. China's support for Myanmar's military regime is conditional, with a focus on protecting its interests in stability, security, and economic cooperation. 10. If China perceives the military regime as no longer beneficial for its goals, it might reconsider its support, potentially impacting Myanmar's military.

    • @@nanucit it is simultaniously bad and innocuous. Yes western entities will go into dangerous areas and extract 75% of the value, instead of say the 25% take in safe stable economies. This can seem unfair to the developing nation but gets better as reliability is established. It can be very mutually beneficial if not spent on corruption or say civil war. On the other hand, such deals occur between the largest nations and dictators all the time. Take the top of mind example of Equatorial Guinea. Incredibly wealthy in natural resources, brutal dictatorship that is supported almost entirely by western oil money. Natural resources taken at discount. The residents in this scenario are doubly screwed. On the other other hand: if the western companies werent there, the chinese or russians would be. I dont have time to go into more nuance or speak about solutions but OP point can be valid depending on historical context, which I do not know well enough for Myanmar.

Factions of rebelling forces on north have been long existing for decades but some how of sudden those guerrilla forces come out from jungles winning the battles against the military junta one after another, using drones and other advanced weaponry in fighting. 2. One of the main reasons claimed by rebelling forces for launching the military operation 1027 is to strike criminals of telecom scams, mainly against Chinese citizens implicating billions of dollars and hundreds of being tortured and murdered, under the protection of the military junta. 3. The rebelling ethnics in north, they speak Chinese.

  • I wouldn't be shocked if China played a role in the success of the ethnic rebels in Myanmar. Facing internal and external issues, China's increasing demands for concessions on the Myanmar government have not been sufficiently met. Threats of overturning the regime became reality. Other Internet sources report the rebels' weapons were upgraded with PLA equipment.

    • I guess this weapon could directly come from the United Wa State Army, the most powerful ethnic militia (around 20000 to 60000 manpower) in Myanmar and very closely tied with China. But China probably give Wa state tacit approval to transfer these weapons.

    • Yeah because those ethnic rebels in Shan, Kachin and Kokang are the same ethnic groups as those in Yunnan. They see each others as brothers and the border is porous. They've been the natives in the region. If China opposes those ethnic groups, then the local communities in China wont be happy obviously. Its really the same situation in India. Look up the history further South of Kayin states as well, those guys have been cruelly persecuted by the Burmese ever since British left and even before. Actually, having an unstable neighbor like Myanmar blows. Dont have much love for the Buddhist Burmese majority and junta who they formerly supported, since they are awful, opportunistic and cunning people.

China can make their livilihood in hells if CCP acts on it. Do you really think CCP needs Junta? Or other way around? Why do you think rebels are winning all the way? Do you know what the rebel operation 1027 means? Why 1027? Not any other number? 😂 In short, China is answer to every question.

    • You should check the social media posts way before the coup, before Aung Sang Su Kyi was released and rose to power. At that time, Myanmar army was attacking ethnic groups, and China was housing many refugees from Kachin, Kokang, etc. At that time, the Myanmar military hypocritically blamed the northern ethnic groups of poppy farming. Chinese people were way more sympathetic to ordinary Myanmar people before they revealed their true colors and blamed China for everything while ignoring much bigger culprits that actually were junta allies. Chinese especially in the border towns are still sympathetic of their ethnic brothers. Personally, I sympathise with the ethnic minorities but for the Buddhist Bamar Southeast Asian majority, I'm not fond of. Hope they learn to respect different religions and people, and hope they remember to thank the ethnic groups fighting for their freedom.

  • The town of Muse is not pronounced "muse" like the Greek muses. It's actually pronounced more like "Mu - Sel" (with a silent L). I can help with the pronunciation of Myanmar names. Kyauk Phyu (literally translated to White Rock/Stone, Phyu = white, Kyauk = stone/rock) is pronounced this way: Kyauk: the word sort of rhymes with gout or trout. The Ky has a sort of Ch sound in like the name Charlie, but with a K instead of C. Try saying Chout but with a bit of K sound instead of C sound. Phyu: Ph here is not pronounced like the Ph in Phone. P has a soft sounding P like in the name Pat or Pete. Combine saying Pu-you with the soft P without the first 'u' in the sound: pyou (should rhyme with you or foo or yuu).

The current version I was complaining about was created in 1980(!) and is aggressively pushed by the Burmese government. So the government actively created and insists on a romanization more difficult for outsiders to understand.
