Myanmar Army Faces Decline in Capabilities and Civil War

The Myanmar army is experiencing a decline in military capabilities, attributed to policy errors, neglect, and a lack of investment in equipment and skills. The recent Operation 1027 offensive by several ethnic armed organisations has further exposed the army's weaknesses. The Chinese government is committed to combating transnational criminal networks in Myanmar's civil war. The Brotherhood Alliance has successfully launched a counteroffensive in Myanmar's northern Shan state.
