Since the beginning of the political upheaval in Myanmar, Western media outlets have not stopped manipulating the situation in the country as a tool to hype their conspiracy theories about China. The smears have become even fiercer as the situation intensifies.
The West has been making use of the situation in Myanmar to attack China, mainly for the following purposes.
