The Military regime in Myanmar is the stumbling block
that the USA tried to dismantle, by installing a stooge, in order for
the USA to firstly exploit the rich relatively untouched resources of
Myanmar and secondly to be able to, in time, site weapons, even nukes,
closer to China's underbelly. China and Myanmar share a wide common
border. On top of that there is the lucrative drug growing region around
the Golden Triangle that is said to be under CIA control, true or not
hard to tell.
After decades of cultivation of Aung San Suu Kyi
to wrestle control of Myanmar from the military, it all ended in wasted
effort for the USA. The Military leaders probably realized what was
brewing and clamp down fast. The USA discreetly is trying to use ASEAN
to take Myanmar to task, interfering blatantly in the affairs of
sovereign countries.
But the USA is undoubtedly continuing its
instigation and sabotaging, supporting the Rebels (the USA do not now
call them terrorists fighting their proxy wars, only those fighting
against the USA would be called terrorists). How did the Rebels have all
the weaponry and where do those weapons come from? From Ukraine
probably, but definitely not China that is not the enemy of the Myanmar
military.
To get a foothold in Myanmar, the USA has to get rid
of the Myanmar military and installing another stooge to take power.
That is not going to happen soon.

PS. If China does not intervene, Myanmar would become another Syria. And all the investments of China would go up in smokes. China's strategic interest to bypass the Straits of Malacca would be curtailed.
