China’s engagement with Myanmar has been increasing significantly in recent years, with various economic projects and investments taking place. This growing interest in Myanmar can be attributed to multiple factors. Firstly, Myanmar’s strategic location makes it an important gateway for China to access the Indian Ocean. Additionally, Myanmar possesses abundant natural resources such as oil, gas, and minerals, which attract Chinese companies. Moreover, Myanmar’s domestic politics, including its democratic transition and ongoing conflicts, provide opportunities for China to strengthen its political influence in the region. Chinese investment in infrastructure development, particularly in the Belt and Road Initiative, is also a major part of China’s engagement with Myanmar. However, there are concerns about China’s increasing influence and its impact on Myanmar’s sovereignty and local communities. It is crucial for Myanmar to find a balance between benefiting from China’s investments while ensuring its own long-term interests and development.
