After 1986, china changed the style of its relation with Burma. It stated to supply military junta and in exchange of this it got the easy reach to the Burmese market. On Coco Island in the Andaman Sea there was a navy base.
China is imagined to have an intelligence assembling station on the Great Coco Island. This was there to supervise Indian naval activity. The DRDO and ISRO missile and space launch activities can also be monitored from that place.
The inflow of Chinese arms turned the tables in Burma and it was against the ethnic insurgencies. Many of these had trusted indirectly on Chinese guilt. As an outcome the military junta of Burma is highly dependent on the Chinese. The Chinese was the high level of power at that time.
Reportedly it can be seen that Burma has an embassy in Beijing. The country also has the consulate-generals in Hong Kong and Kunming.
Consequently because of the increased Chinese influence in Burma besides the safe haven and arms trafficking going on along the Indo-Burmese border. In recent years India has attempted to support ties with the military junta. Several economic planning have been set up and these include a roadway connecting the Mandalay with the isolated provinces of Northeastern India. Mandalay opens up to do business with Burma, China and also access to the Burmese ports.
George Fernandes who was early Indian Defence Minister and also a prominent Burma critic said in an interview on the BBC that Coco Island was a part of India. But Jawaharlal Nehru gifted this to Burma. This Coco Island is situated at the distance of eighteen kilometers from Nicobar Islands.
The country named Burma also has an embassy in New Delhi in India
