Myanmar’s military junta plans a national election amid ongoing civil war, raising fears of increased violence rather than peace. China plays a key role, providing technical support and political training to military-backed parties and the election commission. This involvement aims to secure China’s strategic interests in Myanmar, especially the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. Major opposition parties are excluded, and the election is widely seen as an attempt to legitimize military rule. Regional neighbors face diplomatic pressure to accept the results, risking ASEAN unity.
