After pressuring telecom firms, Myanmar's junta bans executives from leaving

There are signs and rumors that a 3rd party (here: China) is already involved, at least in the sense of "Go ahead, we will not do anything".

Libya and Syria: Same here, some 3rd parties are involved anyway. The question is if "the West" (I guess this is what you refer to) should/must/must not get involved as well.

China was opposed to the military junta and preferred the previous government.

Their recent diplomatic stance isn't about involvement, it's them calculating that involvement isn't worth it and signaling to the junta that they shouldn't be afraid of involvement.

This is a huge lie. The CN government did not prefer the previous "american puppet" government at all. I don't know where this stupid meme keeps coming from but it has ZERO basis in reality...

The previous government was far from an American puppet and signed billions in deals with China.

The Junta government opposed them at every turn and doesn't like foreign investment.

The business apparatus understands cooperation between US-China where it makes sense during the transition.
