Obligatory “Fuck China.”

That’ll fix it

This is such a silly gesture lmao

If you don’t know, Myanmar’s junta (and it’s allies) primarily control coastal regions while the rebels primarily control inland areas. In fact, I’m fairly sure only one rebel group has ocean access. These patrol boats are about as big of a white elephant as possible.

Most insurgency groups run resupply through Yunnan and move money through Chinese companies. You can see this being reflected in their territorial control: it’s predominantly in the north, with some territories along the border with Thailand (from which other groups smuggle resources through Thailand).

Whoever engineered this deal is a comedian.

AA (the only group with coastal access) basically doesn’t use naval resupply, and Myanmar isn’t exactly known for being an open plain. White elephant indeed.
