China is blamed for the coup, yet it seems like their interests are being damaged the most.
All western leaders abandoned Suu Kyi after she embarrassed them by letting the Tatmadaw run rampant against the Rohingya.
Suddenly China is behind her ouster??
Also ignores the reality that the Burmese military has never had great relations with China. The northern autonomous ethnic minorities have always enjoyed better relations with China than the government proper. This has always been a huge sore point in relations.
This reminds me of the CIA tactics that brought Suharto to power, blaming China and Indonesian Chinese working with Sukarno to bring Communism to destroy Indonesia.
Lets see what sort of guarantees or collateral Xi secured when he signed the China-Myanmar Corridor. If he didn't secured anything and he just walked in throwing dozens of billions of dollars to a political shithole country which had an anti-China military which is prone to coups then lol, good work to CIA i would say
Maybe next time he wants to splash dozens of billions to another 3rd world country when his own country already has approx half a billion in poverty he should stipulate the country to move some of their foreign holdings from the US to Chinese owned banks
the Japanese and other hostile powers were rushing in to get a slice of the Myanmar economy. if China insisted on complicated arrangements it would be handing the whole country over to the quad. and don't exaggerate poverty in China. most of the remaining poverty are located in provinces like Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Heilongjiang, which are mountainous, arid, or freezing places are almost impossible to develop extensively.
What slice of the economy? The 3rd world country with an unstable political system with coups or other shenanigans happening every 5-10 years. Let them have it and then fund rebels some millions of dollars to destroy it. What do you think the US does now, it waits for China to moronically invest dozens of billions into a shithole country and then the CIA comes, does its thing and poof the investments are in danger of disappearing.
IMO the best solution is to require that the countries receiving such significant investment should move their foreign holdings to Chinese owned banks. Why do you think that nobody fucks around with the US?
Its because everyone have their own wealth invested into the US, so the moment troubles start the US can just collect the collateral money already stored in US banks

China saw through the Myanmar generals long ago and know they cannot be trusted, which is why China has effectively broken its own core non-interference policy by arming and supporting the local anti-government militias.
China is content to just let them play their games because at the end of the day, if they step too far over the line, China can and will regime change them. It has an alternative government with its own army ready to go as and when Beijing cares to give the green light, at which point the ranks of their militias can expect to mysteriously swell by orders of magnitudes almost overnight, and they will also suddenly discover all kinds of new advanced weapons systems at the back of the proverbial garage when they were doing their spring clean. If that wasn’t enough, China can easily engineer a pretext to deploy its own formal military under a whole host of pretexts, ranging from self defence when ‘Myanmar’ shells and missiles fall on Chinese territory, as has happened before. Through to humanitarian grounds or even in defence of democracy to undo the coup.
The Myanmar generals knows all this, as well as the fact that the west simply cannot and will not engage in open ground war with China on its own doorstep, which is why they will always need to consider Chinese interests and bottom lines no matter what deals they strike with the west.
China is already serving them notice and warning with its UN moves to not auto-veto any resolutions, so that will come as a massive wake up call for the generals.

Because even the most loyal of american vassal state realize that uyghur genocide is fake news of the highest order
And also 64 countries in UN support China on Xinjiang issue
It's not just that, perhaps Australia is thinking about changing tone.
