Burma Junta Adopts China’s Digital Blueprint for Repression

Mizzima Weekly Analysis & Insights, Issue-8, Vol-02, May 29, 2025

This issue of Mizzima Weekly provides an in-depth look at the critical situation in Myanmar, focusing on several key areas.

A major theme is how the military junta is adopting China's digital surveillance tactics to increase its control and suppress dissent, mirroring the authoritarian tactics of the "Great Firewall" and social credit system.

The magazine also highlights the devastating humanitarian crisis, with a focus on the aftermath of a recent earthquake and the challenges faced by displaced communities and political prisoners.

Finally, the issue details ongoing military conflicts and the response of the resistance forces, including the dilemma of whether to negotiate with the junta or continue fighting, while also examining the complex role of regional and international bodies like ASEAN in the crisis.
