Myanmar’s rejection of Chinese Vaccine has spelled doom for the civil Government lead by Aung San Suu Kyi. Myanmar’s military has seized power after detaining civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior members of her governing party. Myanmar’s military has declared a state of emergency for one year following days of escalating tension over the result of November’s parliamentary elections.

As per the experts, Myanmar had rejected Chinese Covid vaccine and had accepted 1.5 million doses of Indian Vaccine, that India had selflessly granted to Myanmar, and had started drive to vaccinate its citizens starting from Wednesday 27-January 2021. This was not liked by the Chinese Communist CCP as the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on 11-January 2021 had promised to provide 300,000 doses to Myanmar — a commitment that lacks a concrete time frame. Wang was visiting Naypyidaw when he made the pledge.

India started Shipping COVID vaccines selflessly to other countries including Bhutan, Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar and Seychelles, while China is busy making windfall profits by exploiting Chinese Virus COVID-19 Pandemic.

India sent 1.5 million vaccines to Myanmar.

Chinese plan was to gift 300,000 vaccines to Myanmar and sell the remaining vaccines, a plan that was upsurped by India not only in Myanmar but also in other neighboring and friendly countries. Faced by this humiliation, China has started its croocked games in all the countries where it faced humiliation.

As per the sources, this humiliation of China was the immediate trigger for this Myanmar military coup as China holds control over Mynamar Army.

All authority has been given to the top army commander and a one-year state of emergency has been declared, a statement on military TV said.

The coup follows a landslide election win by Ms Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD).

Aung San Suu Kyi has called for public protests against a military coup in Myanmar, hours after she and other figures from the ruling party were detained by the army. She urged her supporters “not to accept this” and “protest against the coup”.

In a letter written in preparation for her impending detention, she said the military’s actions put the country back under dictatorship.

A statement released in her name said the military was trying to re-impose dictatorship. “I urge people not to accept this, to respond and wholeheartedly to protest against the coup by the military.”

In the early hours of Monday the military said it was handing power to commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing because of “election fraud”. Soldiers are on the streets of the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, and the main city, Yangon.

Myanmar, also known as Burma, was ruled by the armed forces until 2011, when democratic reforms spearheaded by Aung Sann Suu Kyi ended military rule.

Relations between the NLD and the military have been worsening, though Suu Kyi defended the military at the International Court of Justice against allegations of genocide against the Rohingya terrorists, thereby tarnishing her international image but boosting her domestic standing.

In April 2021, the military supremo was likely to change after a decade, but Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has said he will stay on in another civilian or military post. He has been hobnobbing with opposition parties and expressed a wish to become vice-president.

Beijing’s flagship project under the BRI is the 1,700-km China-Myanmar Economic Corridor CMEC (38 projects of which nine approved) which packs infrastructure projects linking China’s Yunan province with the strategic deep sea port of Kyaukphyu in Rakhine province, which India had once eyed, that will provide access to the Bay of Bengal. Yunan, in fact, is integrated with North Myanmar up to Mandalay. The $100-billion CMEC which includes building the $8-million Yangon New City may outmatch the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor in the long run.

Myanmar is heavily indebted to China, which accounts for 70 per cent of the FDI in the energy sector alone. China holds 40 per cent of Myanmar’s $5-10 billion debt. Both countries have a Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement with the new 2+2 first ever dialogue arrangement.

However civilian government of Aung San Su was opposed to Chinese Debt trap Diplomacy and opposed to the idea of Myanmar becoming a Chinese vassal state.

Points to Ponder

Will all the sanctions against Myanmar not push Myanmar into the Chinese lap? How has sanctions worked so far against Iran or Pakistan that continue to commit genocide of civilians?
