Abstract

ABSTRACT Hana Vanesa Herlijanto (01043200050) CHINA AND MYANMAR: A HEGEMONIC RELATIONSHIP IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE 2021 MYANMAR COUP (xv + 90 pages + 3 appendices) Keywords: Myanmar military junta, the China Dream, hegemonic relationship, great power politics China’s support for Myanmar’s military junta regime after the 2021 coup has enabled said regime to continue its rule using violence. Despite international condemnation, China continues supporting Myanmar’s military junta regime economically, militarily and diplomatically. This dynamic relationship begs the questions of the motives behind China’s support towards the Myanmar military junta regime after the 2021 coup and what the advantages or disadvantages are for Myanmar. This research seeks to understand China’s foreign policy towards Myanmar and highlights its specific support, along with the reasons behind it. The research also seeks to understand how China’s support has affected Myanmar, whether enabling the regime’s continuous violent rule or instead helping to broker peace between the regime and various ethnic armed organisations (EAOs) in the country. This research uses the qualitative approach with the descriptive research method while using neorealism as a theory along with great powers, power politics, balance of power, geopolitics, and hegemony as the chosen concepts. The research concludes that there is a hegemonic relationship between China and Myanmar, where Myanmar’s dependence on China has propelled China’s goals to fulfil the China Dream that China wanted to achieve.

Meskipun ada kecaman internasional, Tiongkok terus mendukung rezim junta militer Myanmar, baik secara ekonomi, militer, dan diplomatis. Dinamika hubungan ini menimbulkan pertanyaan mengenai motif di balik dukungan Tiongkok terhadap rezim junta militer Myanmar pasca kudeta tahun 2021 dengan melihat apa keuntungan atau kerugiannya bagi Myanmar. Penelitian ini berupaya memahami kebijakan luar negeri Tiongkok terhadap Myanmar dan menyoroti seperti apa dukungan spesifiknya, beserta alasan di balik dukungan tersebut. Penelitian ini juga berupaya memahami bagaimana dukungan Tiongkok berdampak pada Myanmar. Apakah dukungan Tiongkok memungkinkan rezim junta militer Myanmar untuk terus melakukan kekerasan atau malah sebaliknya membantu menjadi perantara perdamaian antara rezim junta militer dengan berbagai organisasi etnis bersenjata (OEB) yang ada di negara tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode penelitian deskriptif, menggunakan teori neorealisme serta kekuatan besar, politik kekuasaan, keseimbangan kekuasaan, geopolitik dan hubungan hegemonik sebagai konsep yang dipilih. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan hegemonik antara Tiongkok dan Myanmar, dimana ketergantungan Myanmar terhadap Tiongkok mendorong tujuan Tiongkok untuk mewujudkan China Dream yang ingin dicapai oleh Tiongkok.
