About This Article
In response to Myanmar’s failure to address the proliferation of online scams, China lends support to an armed offensive against the military junta in Myanmar.
Named Operation 1027, the offensive was executed by the Three Brotherhood Alliance, severely challenging the Tatmadaw’s control.
China’s dissatisfaction stemmed from the exploitation of Chinese citizens by scam centers in Myanmar. Despite calling for a ceasefire post-operation, China prioritized the handover of scam suspects over pressuring armed groups to cease operations.
The strategic maneuvering reveals China’s leverage over Myanmar’s regime, although it remains cautious about supporting the shadow government, emphasizing economic and diplomatic priorities.
China’s Strategic Moves in Myanmar: Unveiling the Battle Against Online Scams
Amidst the political turmoil in Myanmar following the military coup in February 2021, a recent United Nations report (see below for the report) sheds light on China’s involvement in the conflict, particularly concerning its stance on online scams proliferating from Myanmar. The Tatmadaw’s failure to address these scam centers, which predominantly target Chinese netizens, has prompted China to lend tacit support to armed offensives against the military junta.
Operation 1027, executed by the Three Brotherhood Alliance on October 27, 2023, received tacit approval from Beijing, marking a significant challenge to the junta’s control. The offensive, primarily targeting the Shan State along the China-Myanmar border, resulted in the overrun of numerous military outposts and the disruption of trade routes to China.
The underlying issue prompting China’s involvement is the rampant human trafficking and slave labor associated with online scam operations in Myanmar. A UN report revealed that as many as 120,000 individuals, mostly Chinese, have been trafficked and subjected to forced labor in Myanmar, with the Kokang zone emerging as a major hotspot for such criminal activities.
The scam centers lure victims with false promises of lucrative employment opportunities, only to subject them to exploitation and coercion in labor camps. Interpol has launched operations to combat human trafficking and slavery linked to these scams, highlighting the global ramifications of the issue.
China’s diplomatic focus following Operation 1027 has been on the extradition of scam suspects rather than pressuring armed groups to cease their operations. Despite calls for a ceasefire, China’s strategic interests in Myanmar give it considerable leverage over the military junta, ensuring the status quo remains intact.
However, China’s dissatisfaction with the junta does not translate into support for alternative factions, such as the National Unity Government (NUG). Beijing’s primary concern is to prevent the emergence of a Western-leaning regime that could potentially undermine its interests in the region.
As Myanmar continues to grapple with political instability and armed conflict, China’s role in the country’s affairs underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics at play and the challenges facing efforts to restore democracy and stability.

Statement About Victim Blaming
Some of our articles discuss various aspects of victims. This is both about better understanding victims (the science of victimology) and their behaviors and psychology. This helps us to educate victims/survivors about why these crimes happened and not to blame themselves, better develop recovery programs, and help victims avoid scams in the future. At times, this may sound like blaming the victim, but it does not blame scam victims; we are simply explaining the hows and whys of the experience victims have.
These articles, about the Psychology of Scams or Victim Psychology – meaning that all humans have psychological or cognitive characteristics in common that can either be exploited or work against us – help us all to understand the unique challenges victims face before, during, and after scams, fraud, or cybercrimes. These sometimes talk about some of the vulnerabilities the scammers exploit. Victims rarely have control of them or are even aware of them, until something like a scam happens, and then they can learn how their mind works and how to overcome these mechanisms.
Articles like these help victims and others understand these processes and how to help prevent them from being exploited again or to help them recover more easily by understanding their post-scam behaviors. Learn more about the Psychology of Scams at www.ScamPsychology.org
