My name is Constance Tan Jet Min, and I am an international affairs journalist with Lianhe Zaobao, the flagship Chinese-language newspaper of SPH Media in Singapore.
I am currently working on a feature story that examines China’s growing role in Myanmar’s post-coup conflict, with a particular focus on Beijing’s recent efforts to mediate between the junta and various anti-junta forces. Given your expertise in Myanmar politics and your valuable insights into China’s strategic behavior in the region, I would be honored to include your perspectives in the piece.
I would greatly appreciate it if you are open to sharing your insights via email.
Below are the key questions I hope to explore:
Strategic motives and effectiveness – How should we evaluate the core strategic objectives and real impact of Beijing’s current intervention in Myanmar?
Timing – Why has China chosen this particular moment to step up pressure? Is this a sign of growing impatience, or is Myanmar gaining strategic weight in Beijing’s broader regional agenda?
Costs and contradictions – What potential risks or unintended consequences could China’s involvement bring for itself and the region? How does its role align with the non-interference principle of the Global Security Initiative?
China’s support for Myanmar’s planned 2026 election – Given the credibility concerns surrounding the election, what drives Beijing’s support, and how stable might that support be?
Thank you very much for considering this request. I understand you have a busy schedule, if possible, I would be most grateful to hear from you by August 8.
Warm regards,
Constance Tan | 陈婕洺
