I'm not sure how significant or effective elections in Myanmar are. The government only controls about half of the country. The rest is occupied by rebel forces.

China has been trying to stabilize the situation for a while, which makes sense given the two countries are neighbours. Though 'stability' may not exactly mean peace here and it may not be in the best interest of the Burmese people. At the very least it reduced armed clashes in some areas (where a Chinese oil or gas pipeline goes through).
