I mean is it a false statement? because Myanmar has been fighting right after independence and WW2 was long ago so they had plenty of people with combat experince.

The militias continue to chip away their regime, even after decades of fighting and possession of sophiscated arms they can't handle them - what does it show regarding their combat capability? Experiance doesnt matter if the actions you perform have been wrong consistently for decades. Its been 4 years since the coup and they are barely changing the maps on ground.

I meant that western media constantly says that the tatmadaw would be defeated but like you said they are barely changing the map on the ground.

An article on the delicate balancing act going on between central and local interests.

Such a fractured political landscape could produce endless instability that might threaten investments in Myanmar or even spill beyond the country’s borders. But China, Myanmar’s most powerful and influential neighbor, no longer fears this fragmentation. Instead, Beijing believes this turmoil is here to stay—and that it can manage the chaos. For much of the civil war, Beijing reluctantly worked with both the military junta and local armed groups near its border while holding out hope for the junta to emerge dominant and unify the country, which would stabilize Myanmar and make it easier for China to operate there. Now, Beijing seeks to actively maintain its influence by simultaneously providing the junta with conditional economic and humanitarian aid and pressuring ethnic armed organizations on its border into compliance. China is using its massive economic leverage to force rival groups to the negotiating table on its terms.

It sentenced the 11 people to death in September. They included Ming Guoping and Ming Zhenzhen, members of the Ming family who the court found led the scam and gambling operations, as well as Zhou Weichang, Wu Hongming and Luao Jianzhang, who were named by the court as other key members of the operations.
