But Beijingâs approach has been scattergun: it considers Suu Kyi an âold friend,â yet has supplied rebel forces as well as backing Min Aung Hlaingâa diplomatic fudge critics say underscores the perils of replacing a values-based U.S. approach with a transactional, Chinese-led regional order.</p></div><div><p data-testid="paragraph-element" class="rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left">âItâs hard to ascribe a clear strategy for China in Myanmar,â says Drew Thompson, a former U.S. defense official now at the S.

Sanctions, the argument goes, have not prevented foreign firms from operating in the country, nor would they block U.S. companies from re-entering. Under this real-politik, Washingtonâs demands would be concrete: lower tariffs on American goods, curb scam networks targeting Americans, and deny China access to critical infrastructure.

The offensive ended a two-decade cease-fire and sent some 30,000 people fleeing into China.

The old junta run by another military dictator, Senior General Than Shwe, was nominally stepping back, easing censorship, and releasing political prisoners, including Suu Kyi, who eventually assumed executive power as state counselor. Min Aung Hlaing presented himself as a professional soldier supporting a carefully managed transition. He cultivated foreign military relationships, met diplomats, and posed with monks. The once taciturn officer increasingly behaved like a politician.</p></div><div><p data-testid="paragraph-element" class="rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left">When Suu Kyiâs National League for Democracy (NLD) won a landslide in 2015, President Barack Obama lifted all remaining U.S. economic sanctions. The country Suu Kyi inherited had been hollowed out by half a century of dysfunction. Southeast Asiaâs richest economy upon independence in 1948, Myanmar had become by some metrics its poorestâits banks insolvent, bureaucracy broken, and corruption endemic. Suu Kyi tapped Australian economist Sean Turnell to help reverse that decline. Reforms curbed inflation and deficits, opened the country to investment, and expanded micro-finance to 6 million borrowers, overwhelmingly women.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div data-ad-wrapper="true" class="bg-warm-grey-ads py-4"><p class="mb-2 text-center font-graphik-compact text-caption-small italic text-grey-1">Advertisement</p><div id="inline-ad-8" class="w-full min-w-px max-w-[100vw] items-center justify-center bg-transparent text-center print:hidden flex min-h-[250px] md:min-h-[250px]" aria-label="inline advertisement ad 8" role="region"></div></div><div class="container mx-auto max-w-[90rem] px-6 lg:px-20"><div class="grid gap-x-4 grid-cols-4 lg:grid-cols-12 lg:justify-items-center"><div class="col-span-full lg:w-[632px]"><div class="font-graphik mt-8" data-testid="paragraph-content"><div><p data-testid="paragraph-element" class="rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left">Yet civilian control was a mirage: the 2008 constitution guaranteed a quarter of legislative seats for the military, which also nominated the ministers of defense, home affairs, and border affairs. Reform unfolded inside a constitutional cage. Civilian leaders could redirect spending toward schools and hospitals, but they could not restrain the generals, overcome weak institutions, or decentralize power. âThere was still a military mindset that Burma is a victim, and the perpetrators are always invidious foreigners,â says Turnell. âThe international economy was an arena of threat rather than opportunity.â</p></div><div><p data-testid="paragraph-element" class="rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left">A nadir was reached in 2016 with military operations that the U.S. subsequently deemed genocide against the Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim minority concentrated in Rakhine state.

More than 700,000 fled across the Bangladeshi border, while a U.N. fact-finding mission conservatively estimates up to 10,000 were killed. An International Criminal Court prosecutor sought Min Aung Hlaingâs arrest for crimes against humanity, while a separate Argentine warrant also accuses him of genocide. âWe have not committed any such acts against the Bengalis in Rakhine state,â he says. âOur actions were strictly limited to safeguarding our countryâs sovereignty.

But the generals miscalculated the publicâs fierce devotion to âThe Lady,â whose popularity proved fundamentally incompatible with the militaryâs absolute power.

One regional envoy also pointed to how Trump had normalized complaints of voter fraud amid his own election defeat just five days before Myanmarâs ballot. Moreover, Thailandâs generals had staged a coup seven years earlier which, after a period of protests and civil disruption, had been begrudgingly tolerated.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div

The military responded with summary executions, mass arrests, and airstrikes. By late 2023, three ethnic armed groups launched Operation 1027 in the countryâs northeast, overrunning more than 200 military outposts.

Each morning, heavily tattooed Burmese traders lay conflict-zone stones across folding tables for Chinese merchants to probe with flashlights. Once cut and polished, the jade is sold to buyers across greater China, often via TikTok and RedNote.</p></div><div><p data-testid="paragraph-element" class="rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left">Mei Mei, who arrived here from Yunnan province three years ago, says she earns $150,000 annually trading jade online.

That decline stokes frustration not only with the government but also the NUG, amid growing fatalism toward the prospect of meaningful change. âThe PDF are gangsters,â says one dad of two in Mandalay. âNow we must pay money to both the government and rebels. They should stop fighting. Democracy is best, but stability is better than war.â</p></div></div></div></div></div><div data-ad-wrapper="true" class="bg-warm-grey-ads py-4"><p class="mb-2 text-center font-graphik-compact text-caption-small italic text-grey-1">Advertisement</p><div id="inline-ad-16" class="w-full min-w-px max-w-[100vw] items-center justify-center bg-transparent text-center print:hidden flex min-h-[250px] md:min-h-[250px]" aria-label="inline advertisement ad 16" role="region"></div></div><div class="container mx-auto max-w-[90rem] px-6 lg:px-20"><div class="grid gap-x-4 grid-cols-4 lg:grid-cols-12 lg:justify-items-center"><div class="col-span-full lg:w-[632px]"><div class="font-graphik mt-8" data-testid="paragraph-content"><div><p data-testid="paragraph-element" class="rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left">Yet itâs a conflict that will keep rumbling on. Despite losing Chinese backing, the NUG controls enough territory to fund itself indefinitely via taxation and resource extraction. The harder it fights, the tighter Min Aung Hlaing turns the screw on ordinary people. TIME met one 5-year-old girl sleeping rough by a roadside near Mandalay after her father was forcibly conscripted. The well-heeled of Yangon, meanwhile, pay monthly levies to dodge the draft, filling officialsâ pockets.</p></div><div><p data-testid="paragraph-element" class="rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left">But across this social chasm the great unifier is animus toward Min Aung Hlaing;
1 a mere mention of his name will elicit a sneer, headshake, or crimson jet of betel spit. Outside the country, people are more explicit. âHeâs a clown,â says Mon Mon Myat, the biographer.

Min Aung Hlaing speaks vaguely about âtransitioning from basic raw material production to manufacturing finished goods.â But since his coup, GDP has shrunk 13%, poverty has almost doubled, the kyat currency is 60% weaker, foreign direct investment is down 90%, while inflation averages 20%. âThereâs no development focus, which really sets them apart,â says Turnell. âThereâs just no vision for the

An earlier bilateral agreement to repatriate the Rohingya is dependent on rolling back legal challenges, he says.

Today, they may find a market. âThe key thing to understand is, whether you engage with the military or not, their behavior will not change,â says Marciel. âThat said, isolation has limited value as well.â</p></div><div><p data-testid="paragraph-element" class="rich-text mb-6 font-graphik text-body-large text-black-coffee mt-8 focus-visible:outline focus-visible:outline-black-coffee focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 focus-visible:shadow-focus-color text-left">As global powers weigh strategic leverage against democratic ideals, Myanmarâs people remain trapped in a grim deadlockâa despot that cannot conquer, a resistance that cannot win, and foreign capitals reluctant to tilt the scales. The tragedy of Myanmar is not just that it burns, but that every player can feed the flames, while none can build a nation from the ashes.</p></div></div></div></div></div></article><div class="container mx-auto max-w-[90rem] px-6 lg:px-20"><div class="grid gap-x-4 grid-cols-4 lg:grid-cols-12"><div class="col-span-full"><div data-testid="marfeel-end-of-article-recirculation-wrapper"><div id="time-end-of-article-recirculation-slot" data-testid="time-end-of-article-recirculation-slot" data-marfeel-slot="end-of-article-recirculation" data-section="World" class="w-full empty:hidden"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="container mx-auto max-w-[90rem] px-6 lg:px-20"><div class="grid gap-x-4 grid-cols-4 lg:grid-cols-12"><div class="col-span-full lg:col-span-6 lg:col-start-3"><div id="taboola-below-article-thumbnails"></div></div></div></div><div id="gpt-keyvals" class="hidden size-0" data-targeting="{"type":"article","ctype":"exclusive-article","contentType":"article","cid":"blt44e5677556575305","aid":"blt44e5677556575305","primarysection":"world","sections":"","tags":"myanmar,drug_policy","vidonpage":"true","pageHostname":"https://time.com","adSlotCount":"21","adSlotCountMobile":"21","subType":"exclusive-article"}"></div></main>
