The most Powerful Rebel army in Myanmar

[ety]

Myanmar is in very strategic location, near Malacca Strait, very long coast line for their industry (Industry usually built on the cost line), large land mass, inside ASEAN already

It has huge potential if the state manage properly and the people are united under single government

Myanmar is a very resource rich country. It has large reserves of natural gas and oil, plus high potential for hydropower and solar power, world-class deposits of jade, rubies, and sapphires, alongside significant quantities of gold, tin, tungsten, lead, and silver. It has vast forests containing valuable tropical hardwoods like teak, plus fertile land historically capable of massive rice production. It has good potential if they can sort out the mess. Delusional Indians want a piece of their land on BoB, wet dream, think Myanmarese are fools.

Yeah that could be the long term goal but in the current military junta rule it is just constant war and fighting. There is probably equal chance myanmar becomes balkanised than united at the end of the day.

Myanmar has a lot of heavy rare earths, luckily chinese control those mines and are all sent to china for processing.

I heard the safest places in Myanmar are chinese pipelines, even refugee flock to them because they know no side will risk destroying chinese infrastructure.

Yeah, I forget to put down rare earth minerals. Good China controls the mines now. Should keep the Yanks at bay. That's why China need to control or rein in Myanmar at least strategically for China's own security.

All of the rare earth mining is pretty much done by Kachin or Wa state which is right on China's border. China has huge control of this region not only through ethnic chinese militias but also tourism, gambling, trade etc. There is no way America can crack this region right on chinas border.

A long coastline gives a real edge when it comes to setting up factories, industrial hubs, ports, and logistics. But that advantage only holds if the supply chain lines up with it. Most component sourcing and raw material flows are still clustered in the East, so proximity to those networks matters a lot. Take Vietnam, for instance. Vietnam's heavy industry and manufacturing capacity are concentrated up North, near those supply chains. South Vietnam is much more about finance, consumer markets, and light manufacturing. So having coastline is great on paper, but the real question is whether your inputs can actually reach you efficiently.

Yup correct, it should be seen in a holistic way, but for Indonesia case, most of our industry are in coast line, those that are not in the coast line usually are setting up the industry near the main city as the main market like for instant many industry are set up in greater Jakarta (not in the city, but close proximity with the city where the land are still much cheaper).

While Main cities in Indonesia are essentially also a port city like Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Medan, Batam, Riau, Makassar, Balikpapan etc, so the industry will have market and close proximity to the port in the coast lines (whether to export or to get raw material/other input from the city port)

Makassar, South Sulawesi



Jakarta sits in the coast line



Here our newest Industry zone in Central Java

Just my analysis, for Vietnam the industry (if not in the coast line) is close to the Mekong River right ? That is pretty much the same with coast line as Mekong River is large and many ports are likely there. The areas are likely those with big population as well as market and to get the labor

Same analogy.....

It really depends on what kind of industries you're looking at. Heavy industry tends to concentrate in the Red River Delta, where the infrastructure and supplier base can support it. Light manufacturing is a different story. It clusters along the coast in the Southeast region, not the Mekong Delta. The Mekong Delta is mostly flat terrain crisscrossed by river branches, which makes it ideal for agriculture and aquaculture, but not exactly built for industrial scale.

The result will be an BS agreement where the tatmadaw controls the main ethnic bamar territory, the ethnic minorities keep their militias in semi-autonomous states. In fact, this is how that territory has always been governed. The Burma state has never had full control over the periphery, neither did the British before them.

China is playing many sides in the Burmese conflict because of ethnic links but also national links with the junta military. The regions in Burma that connect to China are nearly all occupied by Ethnic Chinese militias armies.

What's the overall size of Chinese ethnic groups in Myanmar?

 

[peagle]

So you are promoting, funding rough forces that are challenging territorial integrity of some country and you are chest thumping about it?

How is that different from India?

Can't say for sure because many have mixed with locals and many adopted local names and culture similarly in Thailand.

The chinese ethnic militias i named still speak Chinese and have chinese identity and are mainly near the chinese border of kachin and shan states.

Its funny because india does the exact same thing as china does when it comes to negotiating with non government entities. Difference is china is seen as ethnically and culturally much closer to burmese than indians which is why india has no to little say in Burma.

Yes, I assumed that would be the case. Usually where there is identity, there exist ballpark figures. Sometimes it's outright clear, other times it can be linguistic usage, or mere association with that identity.
