So here are the power dynamics in Myanmar. The military overthrew the government of Aun San Suu Kyi's father and she went through a huge trial before the military softened up a bit. She is married to a British guy and has very, very deep links with Britain.
Even after return to a semblance of civilian rule, I think the mutual mistrust and tension between military and civilians runs high. Suu Kyi holds popular support amongst the common people who are the ones killing Muslims, with military playing a criminal role.
The JF-17 represents strengthening military to military ties and can be a cause for increasing discontent against Pakistan among the common people.
My hope is that we can leverage the military ties to get increased protection for our Rohingyas brothers.
In terms of culture, world views, etc Aun San Suu Kyi fits like a custom ring on India's ring finger. Our chance is to weaken the democracy and strengthen the military. If we can form bases in Myanmar, or at least China can get based, that would be a HUGE plus for us. Myanmar can be India's Pakistan where common people support India but the minority population don't and a foreign propped military is agnostic. Now if Myanmar would start laying claims on parts of Eastern most India, it would be like Eid come early for us.
BTW, I am all for supplying old technology short range missiles to them as well. Plus POF ammunitions can earn us further foreign exchange as well.
