You have probably heard about US claim of a genocide in Xinjiang where a million Uyghurs, a Chinese muslim minority have been put in concentration camps.

Myanmar is going through the same challenges as most of the Southeast Asian countries which are trying hard to rightly balance the relationship between the USA and China.

"It always comes down to the wallet, nothing else. Here it is all about China challenging the dollar hegemony and a possible reset of the world monetary order."
