The junta maintains firm control over Myanmar's political landscape by keeping Suu Kyi detained despite international pressure. The move to house arrest may indicate tactical softening to reduce international criticism while preserving authoritarian rule. ASEAN and Western nations face continued pressure to respond to Myanmar's democratic backsliding.
