Things are looking dicey in South Asia these days as a rebel army in Myanmar has captured a rare-earth metals mining hub. The mining hub belongs to Communist China, which is trying to crank out electric vehicles at an insane pace to flood Western markets with them. Xi Jinping has been beefing up China’s military presence along the border with Myanmar. If anyone in the Biden-Harris regime was paying attention, they might think that it looks like a Chinese invasion of the smaller country is imminent.
Most Americans are completely unaware that Myanmar has been in a civil war for almost four years now. There’s a reason for that.
In February 2021, rebel armies attacked the ruling government in Myanmar. There were lots of guns involved, explosions, battles, and many people died as a result. It was a real-life insurrection. Oops! Awkward!
If you think back to February 2021, almost every politician in Washington, DC had just spent the past month claiming that the mostly peaceful election protest on January 6 was an “insurrection” that was worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor combined. Myanmar went through a real insurrection and it was truly awful. All we got was a guy in buffalo horns and a bunch of people waving Trump flags.
The media and the Biden State Department quickly realized that it was absurd to keep telling Americans about the real insurrection in Myanmar while claiming that January 6 was the same thing. So, the press never reported on it again.
Here we are four years later, and Myanmar is still a hot and ungovernable mess. The “National Unity Government” has ten different armies that control different parts of the country and take orders from different people. The “State Administration Council” has five armies under its control, which control several different parts of the country. Then there are two armed rebel groups and an “armed noncombatant ethnic group” that control other parts of Myanmar. It’s like Asia’s version of Haiti, with pretty much the same diet.
Myanmar functioned a lot like a vassal state of China back when it had a functional government. That’s all changed now.
Joint rebel forces captured a key military base in Myanmar this week. That allowed a nearby town that serves as a rare-earth metal mining hub to also fall under their control. The metals are necessary for everything from cell phones to electric cars. Even though the country doesn’t have a functional government, those rare-earth metals have continued to flow to China this whole time.
One of the same rebel groups also bombed the Chinese consulate in the city of Mandalay this week. The bombing did minor damage to the roof of the building, but this sort of thing never used to happen before the insurrection took place.
Thousands of displaced refugees have been forced to flee their homes. They’ve been massing in tent cities along the border with China, but the Chinese military won’t let them enter the country. Isn’t that interesting? China won’t even let real refugees fleeing an actual war into their country; Joe Biden and Kamala Harris let every Third World terrorist into America who aren’t fleeing anything—and label them as “refugees.”
The question now is how long will China stand by as its supply chain is disrupted for those rare-earth metals? If the Chinese military steps in to restore order in Myanmar, what do you suppose Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will do?
