    Myanmar is a bit different. It was under constant control of the military and families connect to it (which also got extremely rich through corruption).

    They switched to “democracy” to get sanctions lifted, but they still controlled what government did. Once people voted on a bill that would remove their power and turn Myanmar to true democracy, that’s when they stepped in and took control back to prevent it.
