Now in its fourth year since the military coup, the civil war in Myanmar continues to complicate international engagement with the country. China, as Myanmar’s northern neighbor, and the United States, as one of the largest providers of humanitarian aid, are both following the developments in Myanmar closely. How have the U.S. and Chinese approaches to Myanmar evolved during the civil war, and how are their forms of engagement shaped by their interests in the region and the larger context of the U.S.-China relationship? Yun Sun and Michael Martin will discuss the intricate dynamics of the relationship between Myanmar, China, and the United States.
