I am writing this from an opinion sort of view, not an article but I'd like to have a decent conversation on this. any thoughts, information would also be greatly appreciated.
China has some serious and stronger cooperation with Myanmar compared to India, although China and Myanmar did have a short border stand off in 2014 after the PLA, some say a J-11 some say an HQ-9 fired and shot down a Burmese MiG-29 Fulcrum that was chasing rebel insurgents into China. moving a few years forward after that incident Chinese leader Xi, met with Burmese officials and created the Chinese-Myanmar Economic Corridor also more commonly known as the CMEC. during the first of the signing, China is suppose to help either construct or finance or a mix of both on these 6 major economic projects: Kyaukphyu Deep Sea Port, Muse-Mandalay railway project, New Yangon Development Project, Myitstone Hydropower Project, and the Kyaukphyu-Kunming Railway Project.
following these major economic signings, Burmese military officers went to China to inspect the Z-10 helicopter as a replacement to the Mi-24/35 Hinds they operate and rumours also indicate Myanmar was looking at acquiring the SY-400, HQ-9 and J-10 as a bolster to their armed forces. the procurement of the SY-400 would rattle neighbors such as Bangladesh and India, but this not the first time Myanmar looked into missile technology, back in the 2008-2011 period, Myanmar hired North Korean missile experts to help develop a production facility so Myanmar could manufacture the Hwasong-6 missile domestically, some sources claim Myanmar has roughly 10 in service but no solid evidence ever been provided.
India has had relations with Myanmar, but this is the first time India really looked into turning the relations into a solid structured friendship. India provided Myanmar with a $1 Million loan to help finance the Thathay Chaung Hydropower Project. India also signed a major economic pact with Myanmar which included the Sitwe-Gaya gas pipeline, Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project, the Sittwe economic zone which is to rival China's Kyaukphyu project, and a number of highway projects.
India, although not as large provider as China is, India has supplied Myanmar with 10 MPV MRAP vehicles, technology on how to manufacture the Carl-Gustav recoilless rifles domestically. India is also looking at selling Myanmar more armored vehicles and warships in the future.
