  • It wasn’t the govt. It was the military who are independent of the government. It was and is led by Min Aung Hlaing. This is what the West fails to understand. The military wrote the constitution. They have unelected seats in parliament. They are authorized to act in any way they deem fit. Also, in a twist of irony the same military is now arming the Rohingya guerrillas, training them and they are now allies fighting the other ethnic armies. So while the Western media and its consumers want simple black and white picture of evil vs good, the picture is more complex.






















  • Capability? China has the world’s largest military. They have the largest Naval fleet. China is and has been an expansionist power through its history. Their current aim is to restore Chinese pride and put China at its rightful place as the center of the universe. Any part they claim as theirs they are using those military assets to assert their claim, like the islands in Southeast Asian waters far away from their shores. This is the same attitude that allowed Russia to invade Ukraine twice.
