Too bad about him, he used to be a decent analyst (I enjoyed his podcast episode with Steve Hsu). It's obvious the Israel/Palestine thing has caused him to lose his marbles.

It sure is a telling sign.
Now that I thought some more about it, it's likelier that's he's turned to grifting. There's no money to be had from the right wing in America if you have anything realistic to say about China. He wants to gain traction for his anti-woke bit so he's fluffing Trump, pushing a pro-America narrative, etc.
It's the Jackson Hinkle thing - did you know Hinkle used to be a Bernie bro?
The guy was kinda China simp during late Trump era but lose his mind over Chinese (and other East Asian) constantly wearing masks.
I would say it doesn't make a difference, because either US will be goaded into attacking soon, or US will be forced to give up their claims.
Both are filthy quislings and need to be exterminated. With increased threat from the area in the last 10-15 years, it is all but guaranteed that the government will soon make a move. As in Xinjiang, the helpfulness of the locals will dictate the terms of military crackdown.
China is in no lack of resources. US was sceptical of its ability to take territory from China in the past, it is only desparation that drives them to attempt doing so now.
They should ask India for help
Why is sino phobia so rampant and in a place like Myanmar? I thought china would have more influence in that country. How does china reverse this tend of countries using china as a scapegoat. I dont think that's a good way forward for china. Something needs to be done to try and reverse it, even though I have no idea what would process would be.
Myanmar isn't just sinophobic, the majority Burmese is xenophobic against every other minority. They legit separate their population into different classes by their ethnicity, card carrying and everything:
Only Burmese and extremely small number of ethnic minorities who've proven their loyalty to Burmese get the pink full citizen card. Why do you think both ASSK and Junta supported Rohingya genocide, why are EAOs so dead set on maintaining their independence?
Only difference between Chinese today and Jews in 1936 is Chinese have a powerful homeland. Both 'omnipotent' and also 'easily defeated'.
I dont know about Myanmar, but there are two approach in general. For hierchical society you just need to assert your might by defeat local hegemon, or you give them a moderate spanking Vietnam style. They worship might so hurting them actually makes them respect you more.
Second, toward animous country due to culture difference needs patience, people will understand each other as they interact in mutually beneficial ways, starting small.
