To be clear, I am not saying it would be in China's interests to exert any effort toward this. Instead, it is Myanmar that is retarded not to. They would have so much to gain and almost nothing to lose.
Myanmar/Burma civil conflict

True but if you look at the burmese comments at Chinese Jingpo songs yeah I lost IQ points because they literally do not know that Jingpo people exist in China and it seems to me that they're brainwashed by western media. Myanmar is important to China because China cannot afford an openly hostile Myanmar because they could easily fund separatist movements.
Brainwashed and/or stupid people are worse than animals.
I wouldn't hold my breath though. People don't get smarter. They just incrementally die off and the next generation gradually asserts the new consensus. That's why the brainwashing targets kids the most. To prevent a change in consensus even with the passing of a generation.
Even if a large population supports annexation by China, will the ones with power (state armies with a long list of lucrative and illegal operations) submit to the CCP and give them up when they are bringing real profits directly into their pockets? The ones that would assume power in this semi-autonomous state would be purged in current day China, not to mention, would they willingly become a government employee when they are in effect kings in their small kingdom?
Interesting article about a very legitimate problem in Southeast Asia, but it fails by trying too hard to push anti-China narratives. It is doubtless correct to say that Chinese manufacturers are—directly or indirectly—supplying feedstock to drug cartels. But anyone who has ever worked in a university lab has seen great big containers of toluene, acetone, sodium hydroxide, and sundry ingredients in the supply closet. They are extremely basic chemical inputs with thousands of perfectly legal use cases. The article even acknowledges it indirectly.
It's simply a small and illicit piece of a large and normal industry.
