China's military drills near Myanmar's border signal a dual strategy: reinforcing its southern border while nudging Myanmar's junta towards peace talks with rebel forces.
Despite reaffirming support for Myanmar's military junta, China's exercises aim to encourage the Myanmar government to engage in peace negotiations rather than escalate the conflict.
The military drills reflect Beijing's desire for security in the border areas while also attempting to mitigate the ongoing civil strife in Myanmar.
As Myanmar faces chaos from military control and a burgeoning resistance, China's maneuvers suggest it is seeking stability in a region critical to its interests.
