Threat Status: Inside the geopolitical significance of Myanmar's civil war

National Security Editor Guy Taylor sits down with Stimson Center senior fellow and leading East Asian geopolitics scholar Yun Sun for a wide-ranging discussion about all facets of the Myanmar's war, including the deep implications it carries for U.S. grand strategy in the Indo-Pacific and the relevance of China's oil and gas pipelines cutting through the Southeast Asian nation formerly known as Burma.
