China’s influence in Myanmar far-reaching. They are the main source of arms to both the Burmese military junta and the guerillas fighting the Junta. They have re-launched Communist Party of Burma and its military wing People’s Liberation Army (of Burma) since the coup in 2021. Make no mistake of who the puppet master behind the farce in Myanmar is.

To the long time observers in the region it is well known that China has long been supplying weapons to the guerillas operating in Myanmar since after WWII. There is a long history of China’s active involvement in Burma which started with Communist Party of Burma (wiki link provided). China trained the communist guerillas of Burma. Once Communist Party of Burma (CPB) collapsed into its ethnic factions, their relationship with Beijing continued. The largest private armed organization or faction that broke off from CPB is the United Wa State Army with a standing count of 30,000 soldiers, the world’s largest private army - as big or bigger than armed forces of some countries including Sweden, Belgium, Georgia, Portugal. China sent an OFFICIAL representative to Wa State Army parade as an indication of how close the relationshi[scmp.com/…/masters-our-destiny-myanmars-25000-uni…]. Well known defense magazine Janes Weekly wrote an article of Chinese military equipment on display at the parade [janes.com/…/united-wa-state-army-military-parade-…]. Interestingly, the official currency and language in Wa State is the Yuan and Mandarin.

Recently in 2021, China has resuscitated Communist Party of Burma and its military wing People Liberation Army and they are active once again.

China also has been the main supplier of arms to Burmese military for decades. In the last 10 years under current Junta boss Min Aung Hlaing who was formerly the chief of staff of armed forces, Burmese military has complained of the reliability issues with Chinese weapons and have begun to seek alternative sources elsewhere - mainly Russia, but also India.

While they are not yet an official combatant they are supplying arms to the other guerillas as is China. I used the Wa State Army as evidence of Chinese relationship to the guerilla armies in Myanmar. It is also well documented and they flout their Chinese relationship internationally. China has an equally imbedded relationship with other guerilla armies.

They got their hands on both sides for political influence. China is selling arms to the rebels, and to Myanmar junta. They make money, gain political leverage. Heck in 2021 election they were caught providing huge amounts of funding to a political party which was caught and subsequently banned under the former civilian government.
