A perusal of Chinese newspapers - Myanmar's most substantial neighbor - reveals scant coverage of the Myanmar population's distress and the resistance forces opposing the military junta - the State Administration Council (SAC).
Despite the ongoing civil war, widespread resistance and associated violence, few in China are aware of what is going on in Myanmar. And even though Beijing has significant economic and strategic interests in Myanmar and has a strong preference for stability in the country, Chinese domestic media has been silent since the 2021 coup.
Despite China's rapid ascent as a global powerhouse, there seems to be limited interest in the affairs of less affluent countries like Myanmar, perhaps except from those residing in Yunnan or areas directly bordering Myanmar.
