For months, the junta has been losing ground in Myanmar, as ethnic rebel forces capture town after town. But whether the military government is defeated, or some form of truce is established, Myanmar may no longer be the same. The Ethnic Armed Organisations want control of their conquered regions, while the junta consolidates power in urban areas that they still control. Meanwhile, the NUG, made up of the ousted civilian government, is losing influence.

No group has authority over the whole country. When the dust settles, what emerges could be a federation, divided into smaller fiefdoms and territories. What does this mean for Myanmar and its people?

With the ban on TikTok in the US imminent, are Chinese-linked e-commerce platforms next? The Biden administration is cracking down on de minimis shipments, closing a loophole that allows packages under $800 to avoid import duties and border scrutiny. Observers say this targets Chinese-linked companies, in particular Temu and Shein.

But this is just one of the measures that could curb Chinese shopping apps. The US government is also investigating allegations of data collection and forced labour. Meanwhile, environmentalists say that Chinese shopping apps are responsible for waste and emissions. China, however, argues that these are just further moves by Washington to enact unfair trade protections, aimed at limiting the growth of Chinese companies. Is the US-China trade war gunning for online shopping apps?
