Description:

Join the Stimson Center for a talk by insurgency expert Zachary Abuza and Indo-Pacific security scholar Nyein Nyein Thant Aung to discuss their recent issue brief examining Chinese military aid to the Myanmar junta. As the Myanmar junta strives to maintain a steady supply of weapons, it has increasingly turned to China for support. Since the coup, China has ramped up its military aid, viewing the junta as the only force capable of safeguarding Chinese interests and maintaining domestic stability. But is China’s military support enough to turn the tide in the junta’s favor?
