For Myanmar, no need for stability for entire country. Just stability in some places. Meanwhile you can use EAOs to be routes supply for rebels in India even with the cost of stability in myanmar.
Myanmar/Burma civil conflict

There's also essentially no risk to China for the whole northeastern subcontinent to be in chaos either.
Sure PLAGF isn't battle proven like AFU and RU Army is, but most people, even some US nationalists, still credit them with being the strongest land army in the world. Moreover as seen in Xinjiang they are not just brute force only but can actually do counterterrorism arguably better than any other force on earth has shown so far.
For middle powers like Iran and Israel, maybe it's hard to deal with instability on the border, and they can provide a route for foreign intelligence agencies. But for China, PLA can slap down any attempt to cross the border without even trying, and if they get dragged into participating in the war, let's just say without even air defenses, they would also just get wiped with minimal effort.
PLAGF doesn't really do much in Xinjiang except India-related border stuff. Internal security is PAP business.
To be fair, I would prefer Myanmar to be passage to arming rebel in NE India than be a passage way for china to reach bay of Bengal.
Wouldnt this affect CN route/port develolment in myanmar tho, like alternative to Malacca strt? Kinda similar to the route in Pakistan to Indian ocean (targeted by local talbn there?)?
There are several routes like Thailand or even go as far as Pakistan and Iran.
Whats Kachin? Who r they affiliated to, or what they fight for?
Kachin Independence Army who fight for the mostly Christian (CIA) Kachin people in Myanmar due note that Kachin people also exist in China but they're mostly buddhist or Animist.
Oww... why r locals running away from them? R they not local on the area border?
