China and India are closely watching as Myanmar rebels, the Arakan Army, advance on Rakhine State's strategic western frontier, a region that could significantly shift power in the country, potentially altering its trajectory. The AA is making headway towards seizing control of the prized Kyaukse-Tachileik corridor, which is crucial for trade and commerce.
