6月16日，习近平会见了首次以缅甸总统身份访问北京的敏昂莱，标志着对军政府伪选举的政治支持。在2024年启动的征兵政策推动下（该政策使兵力突破10万人），缅甸军政府在军事上不断推进，并逐渐获得国际社会的妥协与接纳。

中国依然是缅甸最大的外来投资者，旨在寻求安全的印度洋通道并控制关键贸易路线。中国和缅甸共同生产了全球约90%的重稀土，其中全球近一半的供应源自反政府的克钦独立军控制的矿区。

在访问期间，双方官员讨论了边境贸易、稀土以及重启自2011年以来一直被冻结的价值36亿美元的密松水电站项目。此外，中国在6月3日以间谍罪拘留了著名学者敏津，这进一步凸显了中国在该地区的地缘政治影响力。

On June 16th, Xi Jinping met with Min Aung Hlaing during his first visit to Beijing as Myanmar's president, signifying political endorsement of the military junta's sham elections. Backed by conscription starting in 2024 that swelled army ranks past 100,000, the regime is advancing militarily and gaining international accommodation.

China remains Myanmar's largest foreign investor, seeking secure Indian Ocean access and control over vital trade routes. Together, China and Myanmar produce around 90% of the world's heavy rare earths, with nearly half of the global supply originating from mines controlled by the rebel Kachin Independence Army.

During the visit, officials discussed border trade, rare earths, and restarting the $3.6 billion Myitsone dam project that has been frozen since 2011. Additionally, China's geopolitical influence was highlighted by its June 3rd detention of prominent scholar Min Zin on espionage charges.
