So China is complicit in yet another genocide.
A range of countries have been complicit in genocides in Myanmar over the years. The stated aim of the semi democracy period was to attract foreign investment.
That’s not comforting.
No, I know. The only sort-of silver lining is it meant for the first time in decades a generation there got to grow up in a semi democracy, so when the coup happened there was a lot of resistance.
So is freaking Ukraine apparently
Not surprising. Tyrants like being friends.
Eh, Aung San Suu Kyi’s policies were more pro-China than the Tatmadaw junta’s are. Beijing would probably have preferred her leadership.
Chinese investment accounts for 23.5 percent of total foreign investment in Myanmar,
No surprises there. But I’d like to know where the other 76.5% of foriegn investment is coming from.
China is no surprise but there were a bunch of countries that kept selling arms to the Myanmar junta after the genocide (China Russia Ukraine North Korea Philippines Singapore and Israel).
Are these the sources of investment, or are there others?
Ukraine?
