A map shared by the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) reveals extensive red areas across Myanmar where no elections occurred, representing the junta's territorial control one year after Chinese-backed offensives, according to an X post by @Greendorje during the reporting window from 6:45:51 PM to 9:15:26 PM UTC on February 1, 2026. @Greendorje stated on X, "This map by DVB is so telling. Red areas had no election. To think that after a year of Chinese-backed offensives, this is all the junta could muster." The post highlights the limited gains by junta forces despite reported support from China. This development follows a map update by analyst Thomas V. Linge earlier on February 1, 2026, marking the fifth anniversary of the 2021 military coup, which showed junta control over major cities and main roads while resistance groups hold periphery and border regions.
