Charlie McCann, The Economist’s regional correspondent covering Myanmar, illuminates conditions endured by the Burmese, prospects for change and the role played to date by neighbors including Indonesia.  She details economic deterioration, civil disobedience, and trends in the conflict between a People’s Defense Force (PDF) and Gen Hlaing’s Tatmadaw.  Certain distinctive traits of the military are key drivers of the grim dynamics. 

Also: Jeff and Kevin discuss havoc in PDI Perjuangan’s leadership, mixed proposals on civil liberties, yet more amendment noise, and the emergence of the long-dreaded post-holiday Covid uptick.
