To end Myanmar's brutal civil war, the US will need China's help

The civil war in Myanmar, now entering its sixth year, has caused immense suffering for the Burmese population. Recent tensions were heightened by China's arrest of Min Zin, an American scholar linked to the Institute for Strategy and Policy (ISP)-Myanmar, on suspicion of espionage. China maintains strong ties with Myanmar's military regime, exemplified by recent high-level visits between Chinese and Burmese officials. The conflict stems from longstanding ethnic tensions, particularly in the border regions, where minority groups have sought autonomy since Myanmar's independence. The military, which seized power in 1962, staged a coup in 2021 after being denied presidential authority, leading to widespread protests and repression. The resulting violence has displaced millions, with over 3.6 million people internally displaced as of late 2025. Religious dimensions of the conflict include the military's persecution of the Rohingya, a predominantly Muslim group, and efforts to promote Buddhism among ethnic Christian insurgent groups.
