Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 4th Generation of Military Leaders
Q: How does the new conscription law impact the military's functionality?
The conscription law has significantly increased the number of recruits, but how effectively they are integrated and trained remains uncertain, potentially leading to social tensions.
The 4th Generation of Military Leaders
Q: Does anti-Chinese sentiment exist within the Myanmar military?
Yes, anti-China sentiment is an open secret, particularly among lower ranks and regional commanders who may oppose over-reliance on China.
The 4th Generation of Military Leaders
Q: What is the cast of characters that will determine the fourth generation of Myanmar military leadership?
Names such as General Chow Shua-Lin and younger leaders from DSA batch 38 are among the potential successors shaping the future military leadership.
The 4th Generation of Military Leaders
Q: What do you see as the prospects for change within this institution, within the military?
The emergence of the fourth generation of the Tatmadaw is pivotal, with potential for reforms led by new leaders who may move beyond the shadow of Min Aung Hlaing.
Military Electoral Machinery
Q: Michael, how do you evaluate the argument of parties needing to participate to remain registered?
Most parties likely see the elections as an exercise in futility due to draconian regulations and the backdrop of violence against potential candidates.
