It is another US financed regime change operation that is using terrorist activities against the government and their supporters.

It's the same-old-same-old US pipeline wars that have been going on, both covert and overt, since WWII destroying the lives and killing tens of thousands of people who live on foreign lands where oil/gas is found. The CIA's illegal drug production, use and smuggling is also on the rise since they lost Afghanistan. It's now causing problems in the country.

The US wants to cut China off from using Myanmar as a shorter route to Iraq and the Middle East for shipping oil in order to avoid the US controlled choke point at the Strait of Malacca.

2. Importance of Myanmar in China’s Energy Security

Myanmar, a neighboring energy-rich nation, provides an overland route for energy supplies that offers China economic and strategic advantages. China currently receives 95 percent of its energy imports by sea, with approximately 80 percent passing through the Malacca Strait. Most of those supplies comes from the Middle East. Myanmar’s location on the Indian Ocean presents a money-saving alternative route and strategic geopolitical advantage by avoiding the Malacca Strait, a major international shipping lane dominated by the U.S. Navy. Energy resources can be shipped through the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal and transported to China from Myanmar through pipelines, cutting off 3,000 kilometers, reducing transport time by five to six days, and avoiding a potential confrontation with the U.S.1

3. China’s Energy Security Policies to Myanmar

Myanmar plays an important role in China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the sweeping plan for infrastructure investment to link China to markets in Asia, Europe, and Africa. Energy supplies already are flowing from Myanmar to China through the Myanmar-China Natural Gas Pipeline and the Myanmar-China Oil Pipeline.

As seen in Map 1, the natural gas pipeline starts in Kyaukpyu city in Myanmar’s Rakhine State and ends in China’s Yunnan region. China and Myanmar agreed on the project in 2009, and the pipeline went online in 2013.6 CNPC, China’s largest energy company, built the 793-kilometer long pipeline at a cost of $2 billion.7 By 2018, 3.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas had been transported from Myanmar to China, far short of the pipeline’s 12 billion cubic meter capacity.8

Map 3 shows the location of Myanmar on the sea route of the BRI.

4. Conclusion

Myanmar provides strategic and practical benefits for China’s energy security needs. It offers an opportunity to diversify supplies, reduce dependence on imported LNG, cut shipping times, and reduce dependence on supplies from the Middle East. The deepwater port being developed in Myanmar offers China the potential to avoid the Malacca Strait. Energy infrastructure linking Myanmar to China is relatively new, but plans for expansion are ambitious and the relationship between the two countries should be watched closely.
