Myanmar Round Up: January 2020 (A round up of selected English open source reports on Myanmar)

Visit by Xi Jinping
This first visit by a Chinese President in 19 years on 17-18 January 2020 was apparently to commemorate 70 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations. The stated aims of the visit as articulated by Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Luo Zhaohui during media interactions in Beijing on 17 January 2020 were to strengthen relations; deepen Belt and Road Initiative cooperation and to "materialise" the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) i.e. the Myanmar component of the Belt and Road Initiative. The details of the projects signed is as given below:

Myanmar: Aung San Suu Kyi's party wins majority in election

…..Was the election controversial?
Observers had questioned the credibility of the election because of the disenfranchisement of virtually all the Rohingya.
Rohingya face a new peril on a remote island
Earlier this year, six of at least a dozen Rohingya who applied to run as candidates in the election were also barred from standing.
Other ethnic groups have also been affected.
In October, Myanmar's electoral commission cancelled voting in large parts of Rakhine state - where fighting between the military and the Arakan Army, comprised mainly of the Buddhist Rakhine ethnic group, has killed dozens and displaced tens of thousands.
It also cancelled the election in parts of other conflict-hit states, including Shan and Kachin, saying that some areas were "not in a position to hold a free and fair election".
The mass cancellations have outraged ethnic minority parties and mean nearly two million people have been disenfranchised in a nation with some 37 million registered voters.

Billionaire megadonor George Soros spent $28.3 million on the 2020 election during the first three months of the year on the 2020 election, including $10 million to fight voter disenfranchisement that Soros donated amid the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
Soros’ $10 million will go to Win Justice, which mobilizes people of color and other infrequent voters who could be disenfranchised in the coming months as states battle over whether to hold in-person voting in November, an increasingly pressing concern among Democrats. He gave the money at a moment when many in the Democratic political world have warned that PACs and campaigns may run out of money as the economy and with it, donors’ pocketbooks seize up.
