Beijing was in a complex situation of whom to take a side in Myanmar.

However, the larger neighbour has strategic interests and it will act to protect those in the smaller country. China has accommodated itself to the junta while carefully hedging through both public and private pressure to come out on top in Myanmar, Foreign Policy reported on Friday.

The Chinese regime had established warm ties with National League for Democracy government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. However, Tatmadaw had been annoyed with China in those days too. Because Myanmar's economy was being more dependent on China and Beijing has been extending its support for rebel leaders in the country.

The Rohingya crisis, which drew widespread criticism and Western sanctions for the NLD government had driven the Aung San Su Kyi's party into the Chinese orbit. Therefore NLD-Beijing relations were in an upward trajectory after the party's electoral victory in 2020, Foreign Policy said.

Beijing went behind the junta because supporting opposition would have required more resources and arms for a leaderless movement.
