I believe that the Chinese government think that the Uighur nationalism issue has been stoked by the US, which is an interesting parallel to the “Russian bots” issue.
And then there’s the “Rohingya as poor refugee victims and not rightfully repelled hostile invaders” issue, who knows where the government of Burma thinks that comes from.

I mean, according to the local government, yes, Bangladeshi migrants who had been settling in Myanmar launched a wave of violent attacks as part of an attempt to colonize sovereign land and the country mobilized against them, including on Facebook
According to most of the US establishment, no, Myanmar cranked up the oppression on a Muslim minority that has been an integral part of the country since its founding but severely repressed ever since by encouraging communal violence towards a goal of ethnic cleansing, including on Facebook
