China-Myanmar relations

The rebel group has shed its reputation as an opium trafficking syndicate and pledged itself to the Spring Revolution. Is its transformation more than skin deep?

The shadow government has promised to continue the warm partnership with Beijing maintained by the ousted NLD government.

A spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry hailed the "positive results" of the talks, but a lasting peace is unlikely.

Contrary to some speculation, Beijing is not supporting the ongoing rebel offensive in Shan State.

The capture of the Kyin San Kyawt border gate came as the Chinese military launched live-fire drills along the two countries' border.

An interview with Yun Sun about the progress of the military offensive, and the question of how China’s government is reacting to the conflict on its border.

Growing political turbulence, especially in the northern part of Shan State, has drastically narrowed the chances of progress on a host of large-scale projects.

Wang Xiaohong's talks with senior junta officials took place after a resistance offensive overran junta positions across the northern part of Shan State.

The announcement comes after a rash of deportations of alleged Chinese scammers from rebel-held regions of eastern Myanmar.

Beijing's strategic interests in Myanmar and mainland Southeast Asia ensure that the crackdown on transnational criminality is likely to remain partial and selective.

China's engagement with the hated military administration has pushed its reputation in Myanmar to new lows.
