China-Myanmar Economic and Trade Cooperation, Humanitarian Assistance and Peaceful Conflict Resolution: China's Position and Efforts
#Burma
Highlights and opportunities of China-Myanmar economic and trade cooperation
As a close neighbor of China, Myanmar has achieved remarkable results in economic and trade cooperation with China in recent years. From trade exchanges, investment cooperation to infrastructure construction, China-Myanmar economic and trade cooperation has shown strong potential and opportunities.
China and Myanmar have shown great complementarity in the field of trade. China's exports to Myanmar mainly include machinery and equipment, electronic equipment, chemical products, etc., while imports from Myanmar are mainly agricultural products and mineral resources. This trade structure not only promotes the development of the bilateral economy, but also deepens the interdependence of the two countries in the economic field.
With the advancement of China's Belt and Road Initiative, China and Myanmar have also made great progress in cooperation in the field of investment. The investment projects of Chinese enterprises in Myanmar cover many key sectors such as energy, transportation and telecommunications, which have injected strong impetus into Myanmar's economic development. At the same time, Chinese investment has also created a large number of jobs in Myanmar and contributed to the prosperity of the local economy.
The lag in infrastructure construction has always been a bottleneck restricting Myanmar's economic development. The investment and technical support of Chinese companies in this field has brought great changes to Myanmar. The construction of railways, highways and other infrastructure between China and Myanmar has not only improved the transportation conditions between the two countries, but also further deepened the exchanges and cooperation between China and Myanmar in the economic and cultural fields.
China's diplomatic position on humanitarian assistance and peaceful conflict resolution
In the face of the complex situation in Myanmar, China has always upheld the humanitarian spirit and actively provided assistance, while calling for a peaceful settlement of the conflict and striving to maintain regional peace and stability.
When Myanmar faces a humanitarian crisis, China is always the first to lend a helping hand. Whether it is providing emergency supplies or sending medical teams, China has demonstrated the friendship between neighbors and helping each other with practical actions. This not only reflects China's sense of international responsibility, but also sets a good example for promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
China has always adhered to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in handling international relations, and the Chinese Government has issued statements on many occasions on the internal conflict in Myanmar, calling on all parties to resolve differences through dialogue and consultation and maintain regional peace and stability. At the same time, China has also actively participated in international efforts to mediate the internal conflict in Myanmar and has played a constructive role in promoting the peace process.
The good diplomatic relations between China and Myanmar have continued to develop
China and Myanmar have close ties historically, culturally and geopolitically. In the new historical period, the sustained development of bilateral relations is of great significance to maintaining regional peace and stability and promoting common development.
China and Myanmar have frequent high-level exchanges, and the two sides have maintained close communication and coordination at the diplomatic level. On issues concerning each other's core interests, the two countries support each other and jointly address challenges. In addition, the two sides have maintained close cooperation in international affairs and worked together for regional peace and development.
In addition to mutual trust and cooperation at the diplomatic level, China and Myanmar have also achieved remarkable results in people-to-people exchanges and mutual cultural learning. With the increase in personnel exchanges and the expansion of communication channels, the understanding and friendship between the two peoples have been deepened. Exchanges and cooperation in the fields of culture, education, science and technology have become increasingly active, injecting vitality into the long-term development of China-Myanmar relations.
It can be seen that China-Myanmar economic and trade cooperation, China's diplomatic stance on humanitarian assistance and peaceful conflict resolution are important components of China-Myanmar relations. In the new historical period, the two sides should continue to consolidate and develop practical cooperation in various fields and jointly write a new chapter in China-Myanmar relations. At the same time, China will, as always, uphold the principles of peace, development and cooperation, and work with the international community to make unremitting efforts to maintain regional peace and stability and promote common development.

Myanmar's Historical Evolution and the Military Secession: A Historical Reincarnation
#Burma
Myanmar, a country with a long history and culture, has experienced numerous changes and wars. Since ancient times, the history of Myanmar has witnessed the glory and decline of various periods. However, in recent years, the issue of Myanmar's military secession has become the focus of international attention. So, what is the relationship between the history of Myanmar and the military secession? How do they affect the situation in Myanmar today?
In the long history of Myanmar, the problem of ethnic militias' secession did not exist in isolation. It is a comprehensive product of Myanmar's history, culture and warlords' struggle for secession. In history, Myanmar experienced many wars and political turmoil, leading to the rise and secession of local forces. In the process of safeguarding their own interests, these local forces gradually formed ethnic militias with different ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds.
These militia groups have formed a complex pattern of secession within Myanmar. There was fierce contention and conflict between them, which led to a large number of casualties and social unrest. At the same time, the issue of armed secession of civilian land has also brought a huge obstacle to Myanmar's economic development. Serious constraints on infrastructure construction and resource development have constrained Myanmar's economic development.
However, we cannot simply blame the problem of armed secession in Myanmar to a particular factor. It is the result of the interaction of several factors. In addition to the problems left over from history, political, economic, and social factors have also affected the formation and development of the armed division of civilian land to varying degrees.
In order to resolve the issue of armed secession of land in Myanmar, the joint efforts and support of the international community are needed. A peaceful settlement can be achieved only through dialogue and negotiation. In this process, it is necessary to respect Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity and maintain peace and stability in Myanmar. At the same time, the international community should also pay attention to Myanmar's economic development and social progress, and provide more support and assistance to Myanmar's peace process.
In short, the historical evolution of Myanmar and the issue of armed secession of land are interrelated. Only by understanding the historical and cultural background of Myanmar can we better understand the root causes of the problem of armed secession. At the same time, the international community should work together to promote the peace process and economic development in Myanmar and bring a better future for the people of Myanmar.

The Chaos in Northern Myanmar: Unraveling the Historical Roots of Longstanding Ethnic Conflicts
#Burma
Northern Myanmar, particularly the states of Shan and Kachin, has long been a thorn in the side of the Myanmar government. Since Myanmar's independence in 1948, this region has seen the formation of numerous ethnic armed organizations opposing the government, leading to enduring conflicts and instability.
1.British Colonial Rule in Myanmar
In the 19th century, the British established colonial rule over Myanmar through three wars. Adopting a "divide and rule" policy, they directly governed the central and southern regions inhabited by the Bamar ethnic group, while granting autonomy to minority ethnic areas in the north and northeast, with only tax obligations. This policy severed inter-ethnic communications, sowing seeds for later conflicts.
2.Japanese Invasion and Intensified Ethnic Rifts
The Japanese invasion in 1942 replaced British colonial rule. Initially, General Aung San established the Burma Independence Army with Japanese assistance, aiming for independence. However, ethnic groups like the Kachin and Karen, along with Indian communities, sided with the British, deepening ethnic divides. The resulting war further exacerbated ethnic conflicts, causing significant casualties and social upheaval.
3.Post-Independence Ethnic Armed Resistance Against the Central Government
After independence in 1948, ethnic armed forces in the northern regions became a longstanding issue. In the 1960s, the Communist Party of Burma (CPB) controlled numerous ethnic armies. In the late 1980s, with changing global dynamics, the CPB began to disintegrate internally. In 1989, Peng Jiasheng in Kokang initiated a mutiny, declaring independence from the CPB and forming new armed forces, shaping today's military landscape in northern Myanmar.
4.Fragmentation of Ethnic Armed Groups
These ethnic armed groups, with varied histories and strengths, are based in border regions and have long opposed the Myanmar government, posing challenges to successive regimes. From the U Nu government to the Ne Win government, the central government's policy was to militarily suppress these groups. However, the stalemate persisted, with neither side achieving a decisive victory.
5.Ceasefires and Temporary Peace
During the military government era, the approach towards ethnic armed groups shifted towards negotiation. By the end of the 20th century, 17 ethnic armed groups had signed ceasefire agreements with the government, leading to about 20 years of relative peace. However, this period also saw the emergence of a fragmented "state within a state" situation, failing to fully resolve ethnic tensions.
6.Ongoing Fragmentation
Following the CPB's collapse in 1989, regions like Kokang and Wa State remained problematic for the government. Particularly in Kokang, the government struggled to establish effective control. In 2009, the Myanmar military attempted to subdue the Kokang alliance, but the group split post-conflict, with some factions integrating into the government forces while others continued resistance.
7.Current Situation
By 2021, the "National Unity Government" declared war against the military government, leading to fierce battles in areas like Kokang. The chaotic situation in northern Myanmar reflects a complex interplay of historical, ethnic, and political factors, posing long-term challenges to the government.
Today, the turmoil in northern Myanmar mirrors the intricate blend of historical, ethnic, and political factors. Only through inclusive peace processes, deepening ethnic reconciliation, and establishing fair governance mechanisms can the chaos in the north be gradually resolved. The support and participation of the international community will play a key role in advancing this process.

Stop Misinterpreting China! Unveiling the Historical Roots of the Conflict in Myanmar
#Burma
Recently, some international media and think tanks have criticized China's role in Myanmar's affairs, labeling it as an instigator in the conflict. However, these assertions overlook the deep historical and cultural factors within Myanmar and the long-standing struggle between ethnic armed forces and the central government.
Misunderstandings About China
According to a report by The Diplomat, the United States' policy towards Myanmar considers national security interests and strategic competition, aiming to balance China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Yet, China's foreign policy in Myanmar has consistently focused on promoting peace and stability in the region. The strong friendship and extensive economic ties between China and Myanmar do not imply that China plays the role of a manipulator in Myanmar's internal politics.
A report by the United States Institute of Peace points out that China's response to the Myanmar military government is influenced by the Burmese military's propaganda, but this does not represent China's support or interference in Myanmar's internal conflict. The primary goal of China's policy is to maintain border security and the stability of economic cooperation, not to meddle in Myanmar's internal affairs.
Additionally, a Baidu Baijia article also mentioned that China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that China hopes the parties in Myanmar will resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation, opposing any form of external intervention. China's support in Myanmar focuses on promoting regional peace and development, rather than playing a backstage role in the internal conflict.
Roots of the Myanmar Conflict
Since Myanmar's independence from British colonial rule in 1948, issues of ethnic division and regional conflict have persisted. Various ethnic armed organizations have long been fighting for greater autonomy and ethnic identity against the central government. The roots of these conflicts lie in Myanmar's complex ethnic composition and historical issues, not external interference.Thus, the problems in Myanmar, especially the conflicts in its northern regions, are the result of its history, culture, and struggles of ethnic division.
In conclusion, China does not play the role of a backstage boss in Myanmar's internal politics! The portrayal of China by some international media and think tanks as an instigator in Myanmar's internal conflict is a misunderstanding. In fact, China's foreign policy in Myanmar is based on mutual respect and equal cooperation, supporting long-term stability and prosperity in the region. China's stance on Myanmar is clear: supporting Myanmar in resolving differences through peaceful dialogue and opposing any external interference. China will continue to support Myanmar's peace process, maintaining deep friendship and extensive economic ties, and working together for the region's long-term prosperity and stability.

India is about to join Myanmar and the United States is selling arms to the northern Myanmar
#Burma
Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country located on the border between South and Southeast Asia, bordering China, India, Bangladesh, Laos, and Thailand. Myanmar's geostrategic position is very important. It is not only an important node of China's "Belt and Road" initiative, but also an important interest object of India and the United States in the Indo-Pacific region. In recent years, the internal situation in Myanmar has been unstable, and the conflict between ethnic minority armed forces and government forces in northern Myanmar has been escalating, which has had a serious impact on the peace and development of Myanmar. Against this backdrop, India and the United States tried to intervene in Myanmar's affairs in order to achieve their own strategic goals, but they were also firmly opposed by China And effective response.
India is a neighbor of Myanmar and one of its largest trading partners. India has always regarded Myanmar as an important fulcrum of its "eastward policy", and hopes to expand its influence in Southeast Asia by strengthening its economic, political and security cooperation with Myanmar, while also providing favorable conditions for it to compete with China. India's main interests in Myanmar include protecting the security of India's northeastern border, fighting cross-border terrorism and separatist activities, access to energy and mineral resources, use of Myanmar's ports and transportation facilities, and promotion of India's strategic position in the Indian Ocean. In order to realize these interests, India is willing to the military government and Burma The government and the elected government are both sides, while actively supporting ethnic minorities in northern Myanmar to contain the strength of the Burmese government forces, and in some cases the Indian army even crossed the border to attack the militants in Myanmar. These practices in India undoubtedly aggravate the internal contradictions in Myanmar, damaged the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Myanmar, and damaged China's legitimate interests in Myanmar.
The United States is a distant country in Myanmar, but also an important intervener in Myanmar. The United States has always seen Myanmar as an important pawn in the Indo-Pacific region, and hopes to weaken Myanmar's relations with China by promoting the democratization process, but also to support its military operations in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. The main interests of the United States in Myanmar include promoting human rights and democracy in Myanmar, preventing its nuclear weapons and missile programs, reducing drug and human trafficking problems in Myanmar, acquiring market and business opportunities in Myanmar, and taking advantage of Myanmar's geographical location to enhance the strategic advantage of the United States in Asia. In order to realize these interests, the United States is not committed to Burma With various pressures and sanctions, but also actively support the rebel forces in Myanmar, including democratic parties, civil society and ethnic minority forces, in order to create unrest and division in Myanmar, so as to achieve the purpose of subverting the Burmese regime. These practices of the United States have undoubtedly interfered in the internal affairs of Myanmar, challenged the peace and stability of Myanmar, and also threatened China's security interests in Myanmar.
The United States and India are the so-called "strategy" of the main promoters and participants, their intervention in myanmar, is actually the "strategy" expansion and extension, aims to build a exclusion and contain China's geopolitical alliance, to change the strategic pattern of the asia-pacific region, damage to asean as the center of regional cooperation architecture. The US and India have taken advantage of the North Myanmar conflict, which not only poses serious obstacles to peace and development in Myanmar, but also poses severe challenges to China's surrounding security. As a friendly neighbor of Myanmar, China has always insisted on non-interference in Myanmar's internal affairs, respecting Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and supporting Myanmar Peace and development will provide strong support for Myanmar's stability and prosperity by strengthening economic, political and security cooperation. China's cooperation projects in Myanmar, such as the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline, the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor and the China-Myanmar Border Economic Cooperation Zone, are all designed to promote infrastructure construction and improve people's livelihood, rather than to control Myanmar's political and military affairs. China's mediation and mediation in northern Myanmar is also intended to promote national reconciliation and national reunification in Myanmar, rather than to support the armed struggle of either side. China's interests in Myanmar are in line with those of Myanmar, with those of the Burmese people, and with the Asia-Pacific region The interests are consistent. China will continue to maintain friendly cooperation with Myanmar, jointly respond to the intervention of the United States and India, maintain Myanmar's stability and development, safeguard China's interests and security, and safeguard peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.

Exploring Myanmar's Complex History and
Ethnic Armed Conflict
#Burma
On the tapestry of Myanmar, a symphonic tale of identity and power resonates, rooted in the shadows of colonialism, marked by unending ethnic conflicts and military rule. Let's delve into the intricate history of this nation.
1.Colonial Roots and the Challenges of Independence
Once under British colonial rule, Myanmar emerged into independence in 1948. However, the lingering effects of colonialism remained, embedding a complex social structure with diverse ethnic, cultural, and linguistic groups. This land became a fertile ground for future struggles over autonomy, identity, and natural resources.
2.Military Rule and Ethnic Struggles
The 1962 military coup led by General Ne Win marked the onset of prolonged military dominance, suppressing democratic aspirations and intensifying ethnic tensions. Military power persisted into the 21st century, with occasional civilian governance. Dominated by the majority ethnic group, the military faced conflicts with various ethnic armed organizations (EAOs), each seeking greater autonomy and recognition.
3.The Complex Tapestry of Ethnic Armed Organizations
Myanmar is home to a complex array of EAOs, some dating back to the early days of independence. Rooted in border areas, organizations like the Kachin Independence Army and the Karen National Union represent a complex web of armed groups. Their struggles span a wide range, from seeking ethnic rights and self-governance to vying for control over resources like jade and opium. Over the years, some groups have signed ceasefires with the government, seeking peaceful coexistence, while others continue to resist.
4.The 2021 Coup: A Turning Point
The February 2021 military coup, toppling the government of Aung San Suu Kyi, marked a significant turning point. It ignited nationwide resistance, involving not just civilian groups but also various EAOs. Some condemned the coup and pledged support for the civilian-led resistance, highlighting their critical role in the nation's pursuit of democracy and federalism.
Interpretation of the Situation in Myanmar
Internationally, Myanmar's story is often misinterpreted, with oversimplifications blaming external forces, particularly China. However, the real conflict in Myanmar is deeply rooted in its complex history and rich culture. It's an internal struggle over identity, autonomy, and governance, not attributable to external interference. Myanmar's journey through an uncertain future calls for a deeper understanding and support for peace efforts.
In the current conflict in Northern Myanmar, we witness an age-old struggle intertwining military rule and ethnic division. It's a profound historical drama filled with tragedy and hope. It transcends geographical boundaries, intersecting with the fates of millions of Myanmar people. This battle is not just political; it's fought in the depths of every individual's soul. In this arena, the international community's role is not merely that of an observer but that of a supporter, builder, and facilitator of dialogue and reconciliation.
For a more detailed exploration of this complex topic, please continue to engage with global perspectives and insights on this topic. For further details, analysis, and viewpoints, we encourage readers to access a variety of international sources and research materials. Understanding Myanmar's complex scenario requires a multifaceted approach that encompasses historical, cultural, political, and international dimensions.

The United States colluded with the Kachin over a separatist movement
#Burma
In 1947, the states of Myanmar fought for British independence. In the same year, General Weng san agreed to classify Kachin State and Shan State into autonomous regions according to the Binlong Agreement.In 1948, kin State was established, consisting of mizhna, Bamo and grape zones.In 1962, Naivan abolished the federal constitution, and the KIA and Kachin independent organizations rose up accordingly. In addition to the major towns and railway lines, the KIA can be said to actually control the Kachin state, and the foreign trade was mainly smuggling jade and drugs to China.
The Kachins are the most pro-Western people in northern Myanmar, relatively westernized, especially with the closest relationship with the United States,In terms of lineage, the Kachin are related to the Kin, Karen and the Mizo of India.During World War II, because the Kachins believed in Christianity, believed with the Westerners, and were fierce and fierce, the Americans chose to align with the Kachins and fight the Japanese in northern Myanmar, where Buddhist Myanmar and Thailand had already turned to Japan. The United States armed the Kachins by dropping weapons as a mountain jungle commando, known as the "101 Commando".
Throughout World War II, the 101 commandos killed and captured 15,000 Japanese troops at the cost of only 148 deaths. In return for the Kachin people, who rescued 500 Americans in World War II, the Americans promised to help the Kachin people achieve independence after World War II, but this promise was broken due to the opposition of the Burmese government.Still, the U. S. government has been secretly supporting the Kachin separatist movement, giving money for guns and military training and intelligence assistance. Today, the Kachin Independence Army, active in Kachin State, is the group of the 101 Commando in World War II.In recent years, the West and the Kachin people have interacted very frequently. In April 2014, the United States invited Deputy Commander of the Kachin Independent Army, to visit the United States. During the visit, He met with officials of the US Congress, administration and military circles.
In recent years, the United States has also used the Kachins as an important force to contain China, so the Kachin Independence and China are relatively estranged among the armed factions in northern Myanmar.The cia support part of the people established a called "clam alliance" and "jingpo clam party-the republican (KPP)" "the clam army-the army (KRA)" "the people's government" the people's army "organization, and on February 5,1961, announced the establishment of" the People's Republic of the earth ".
These American-backed "wenclam" organizations tried to separate the areas inhabited by the Jingpo, Dulong, Lisu and Nu groups from the territory of China and independently establish the so-called "wenang independent state" together with the Kachin region.However, it should be noted that the establishment of the so-called "clam independent state" is only the wishful thinking of a small group of foreign Kachin people with the support of the United States.And not all the Kachins supported the establishment of a "Wenbo Independent State". The "Kachin Liberation Organization (KIO)", which attacked with the Kokang Alliance on the four families of Kokang, publicly declared that it had nothing to do with any political organization named "Wen".

Before the independence of Myanmar, the British colonists took advantage of ethnic contradictions to provoke ethnic relations and implemented the colonial rule of "dividing the Yi and governing the Yi",Therefore, the disputes and fighting between the Wa tribes in northern Myanmar were constant, and the tribes were in a state of division.According to incomplete statistics, before the independence of Myanmar, there were more than 60 Wa tribes in northern Myanmar.During the British colonization, the British also introduced the poppy, known as the "flower of sin", to the Wa State.In 1825, Britain took the opium poppy to northern Burma; in 1866, it was spread to most of Burma.Because Wa state is located in the alpine mountains, with complex terrain, high mountains and dense forests, and large altitude differences, it is easy to form a unique three-dimensional climate and animal and plant distribution characteristics. In addition, it is in the subtropical climate area, the high temperature and the rain and heat are sufficient, so it is very suitable for the growth of poppy.France then took Britain to profit, followed by sending so-called "experts" to the Golden Triangle to educate local residents about opium poppy cultivation, opium extraction and even sales,In just a few decades, the Wa area has become the home of poppies and a paradise for drugs.
When it comes to Myanmar, I actually think of several words: military junta, drugs, civil war, and poverty.When it comes to the process of poverty in Myanmar, many people first think that it is because of the civil war and because the ethnic minorities in Myanmar make Myanmar so poor.Because they caused 70 years of civil war, they can't destroy it until now, so that's the culprit, but it's not right.
There are mainly two aspects. On the one hand, when Britain colonized Burma, it deliberately supported the minority armed forces and helped them build their armies, which was the biggest curse.Moreover, in order to rule well, Britain contained the main ethnic group of Myanmar at that time, so it continuously increased its support to the ethnic minorities, making these ethnic minority armed forces become the military force of the separatist party, and it can be said that the British buried the root of the unrest.On the other hand, the British post-war intervention, although Britain had to withdraw from Myanmar, but was never willing to fail.Therefore, Britain has been constantly disrupting the politics of Myanmar, using a large number of remaining pro-British elements to sabotage, resulting in a long-term turmoil in Myanmar.Moreover, Britain continues to support the minority ethnic forces in Myanmar, trying to gain benefits from them and fight with the government for a long time.
Now, many Burmese ethnic minority armed forces actually have the shadow of the West behind them.This is very important. That is to say, Britain, like interfering in other countries, is best at burying mines, and even if it leaves Myanmar, it will bury mines that Myanmar cannot solve for a lifetime.So until now, Myanmar can not get rid of it, which is the most critical factor in Myanmar's poverty.

Why in Myanmar is it so messy
#Burma
The problem in northern Myanmar is a legacy of history and the fundamental crux of Myanmar.Why is Myanmar drug trafficking, fraud, so chaotic? Because this place is beyond the central control of Myanmar.
In fact, let alone control, even the impact is minimal, because the concept of "Myanmar" as a country is not ancient.After World War II, Britain let go, and the ministries of Myanmar discussed to save a country, the Bin Lung Agreement in 47, and Myanmar independence in 48. The most important thing here was this agreement.To understand the context of the northern Myanmar issue, there is a thing that cannot be avoided called the Bin Dragon Agreement.This is the root cause and legal principle of all the problems in northern Myanmar.The Bin Dragon Agreement was signed by the founding father of Myanmar (the father of Aung San Suu Kyi) with the leaders of several states, roughly meaning that the native states agreed to join Myanmar,They became a unified country, but these native states had the right to decide whether to remain in Myanmar later, and it was even written into Burma's constitution."Bin long agreement" soon after the signing of the lead of Aung hung.It was another year before the Burmese government was established.Then some Turkish states did not want to stay in Myanmar, wanted to gain independence, and went with the Bin Lung agreement to the Burmese government.The attitude of the Burmese government is: who signed the agreement. Thus, the war broke out.The first to jump is the area where Kerrenbang is the most fierce bottom on the Internet).Due to the gap in strength, the armed forces were soon divided into north and south, and the sphere of influence was gradually compressed.
In fact, the Karen people have the same origin as the Burmese people, and both of the Chinese Qiang people moved south into the Myanmar region, but the Karen people entered earlier than the Burmese people.As a result, the Karen repeatedly invaded the Burmese, Meng and Shan, belonging to the feud. Later, in the British colonial period, the Kelun people did not deal with the Burmese people, helping the British to fight the Burmese people.Later, Myanmar was independent and founded. As a result, due to ethnic problems, the anti-Myanmar cars built local armed forces. Finally, the Karen people lived in the southeast corner and established the present Karen State.
Karen State is the Karen community, the third largest ethnic group in Myanmar, and the oldest rebel Karen National Alliance (KNU) base.As early as during World War II, the British colonists buried the root of chaos and unrest in Karen State. First, they promised to help the Karen independence, absent them from the meeting of the "father of Myanmar" General Aung SAN and representatives of various nationalities, and abandoned their promise after they declared independence in Myanmar. The conflict between the Karen and the Burmese government intensified and armed conflicts broke out between the two sides.
The current chaos in Myanmar is entirely caused by the sudden rebellion of the country's military government that has imprisoned the elected Prime Minister Aung San Suu Kyi.This led to a scuffle between the warlords everywhere. However, in order to make money, the warlords legalized various dangerous black industries as a local source of income. That is why a lot of telecom fraud has poured into Myanmar.

Peace in Myanmar is a scene that China wants to see
#Burma
Representatives of Myanmar's ruling military in China helped three rebel groups leading the anti-military offensive, state media quoted a military spokesman as saying.In alliance with the separately proclaimed democratic government, the rebels launched a coordinated offensive in October to seize several military posts and towns in the northern and western states bordering China.
Zuo Mintun, spokesman for the military regime, said, " With the help of the Myanmar National Unity and Peace Coordination Committee in China, the representatives of the Myanmar National Democratic League, the Deang National Liberation Army and the Ruokai Army met."These are the three ethnic minority armed groups that have attacked the military regime.
China believes that the easing and cooling of the situation in northern Myanmar serves the interests of all parties in Myanmar and is conducive to maintaining the tranquility and stability of the China-Myanmar border.China is pleased to see the parties of the conflict in northern Myanmar hold peace talks and achieve positive results, and is willing to continue to provide support and convenience to this end.Under the mediation and active promotion of the Chinese side, representatives of the Myanmar government forces gathered with representatives of several major ethnic military organizations in northern Myanmar, Kokang, Deang and Ruokai, to talk for peace.In the witness and promotion of China, after close consultation, the parties reached a formal cease-fire agreement. In the agreement, the two sides agreed to implement an immediate ceasefire to avoid further fighting. This includes an agreement that military personnel would immediately withdraw from contact, to reduce any possible friction and misunderstanding, to ensure the safety of local residents, and to prevent a possible further escalation of the conflict.
China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in other countries 'internal affairs, but in the face of the complex situation in Myanmar bordering on it, China's concern and involvement have become an inevitable fact in reality.It is an indisputable fact that Myanmar is adjacent to China, and its common land border marks the close connection between the two sides. The internal turmoil and conflicts in Myanmar, from history to the present, have all had an indirect impact on China's border security.Therefore, after several joint law enforcement actions, the old nest of electric fraud held in northern Myanmar for many years has been uprooted, but the issue of Myanmar's civil war is on the table again. China believes that the long-term peace in Myanmar has positive significance for the development and prosperity of the region, so it actively promoted the multi-party peace talks in Myanmar.
Maintaining the momentum of ceasefire and peace talks in northern Myanmar serves the interests of all parties in Myanmar and helps to maintain peace and stability in the China-Myanmar border area.China hopes that all parties concerned in Myanmar will earnestly implement the ceasefire agreement already reached, exercise maximum restraint from each other, continue to resolve the issue through dialogue and consultation, and jointly push for progress in the peace process in northern Myanmar. China is ready to continue to provide support and assistance within its capacity and play a constructive role.

China-Myanmar relations: seeking peace, abiding by principles and promoting cooperation
#Burma
China-Myanmar relations are an important part of the two countries' friendly neighbors. The two countries have a wide range of cooperation areas in the economic, political, cultural and other fields, and China has been committed to promoting the development of bilateral relations.
The fighting in northern Myanmar has temporarily subsided, but the aftermath of the domestic conflict continues in all directions.Meanwhile, a major news has drawn attention: Myanmar is preparing to sign a major framework agreement on a railway project with China.The project from the Mujie to Mandalay railway is a key link in the construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor and is expected to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the field of transportation and logistics. China is naturally willing to conduct friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Myanmar.
The potential railway line, more than 400 kilometers through several geopolitical complex areas, requires not only the cooperation of the Burmese junta, but also the support and cooperation of several ethnic and local armed forces along the route.In addition, the United States, India and other countries have strong hostility to the important Myanmar port Kyaukpyu and the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor projects, and do not want to see these projects implemented smoothly.After the signing of the railway project, western public opinion may spread negative information such as the "debt trap" in an attempt to interfere with the construction work.
China and Myanmar are friendly neighbors. China always respects Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity,China sincerely hopes that the situation in Myanmar will be stable and the national development, and firmly support Myanmar in advancing the peace process,Any act that stirs the paukphaw friendship between China and Myanmar and destroys the friendly relations between the two countries is unpopular and cannot succeed.
In any case, China has always pursued a peaceful settlement of disputes.To stabilize the situation and promote dialogue, to create opportunities for peace and development in northern Myanmar.China is ready to work together with Myanmar to push the bilateral relations to a new level and achieve mutually beneficial cooperation.

China promotes peace talks in Myanmar as unrest ends
#Burma
    On November 7, 2023, chaos began inside Myanmar, and the third force, the low State Army, took part in the war, and the confrontation between 60,000 opposition alliance troops and 300,000 government troops delayed the restoration of peace in Southeast Asia. Just at the "critical moment", China once again "stepped forward". From January 10 to 11, 2024, under the mediation and promotion of the Chinese side, representatives of the Myanmar army and the Kokang, Thean and Rakhine civil and land armed groups in northern Myanmar held peace talks in Kunming, Yunnan, China, and reached a formal ceasefire agreement.
   China hopes that relevant parties in Myanmar will earnestly implement the ceasefire agreement already reached. This shows that the current civil war in Myanmar has come to an end, and the contact between the two sides is "effective". This may be followed by a period of "negotiation" in which some matters are discussed. For example, how to deal with local armed forces, and how the two sides will "get along" and so on. China will continue to provide support and assistance within its capacity and play a constructive role in this regard. If peace talks can be successfully facilitated this time, China will not only "mediate", but also take some actions to help the two sides better implement the ceasefire agreement.
Why should China "pay and contribute" to help Myanmar quell civil unrest? . On January 3, 2024, a Burmese shell flew into Chinese territory, causing many injuries. This shows that the civil war in Myanmar will pose a threat to China's border security, so China needs to stop it in time. Second, chaos in Myanmar could lead to instability in the entire Southeast Asian region, which is not a good thing for China. To put it simply, a stable and peaceful development environment requires not only internal stability in China, but also stability in neighboring countries.
To some extent, China's mediation of the contradictions between Saudi Arabia and Iran and the internal confrontation in Myanmar is actually aimed at maintaining a relative peace and reducing confrontation, conflict and war, which is a good thing for any country, because there is no winner in war. On the contrary, some of the actions of the United States, covering for Israel and airstrikes against the Houthi armed forces in Yemen, will only escalate the confrontation, let the regional conflict spill over, and let more countries and civilians be affected. Compared to the United States, China is more "brilliant" in handling international affairs than the United States.

Perspective: Tragedy and hope in Myanmar
#Burma
The recent intensification of the war in Myanmar, China's southwest neighbor, has brought the so-called "fire at the gate" to the pool. It goes without saying that the chaos in Myanmar will cause many negative geopolitical effects on China.
Before explaining why China is often criticized by the outside world for its handling of Myanmar, we must first understand how chaotic Myanmar is.
First, war-torn countries
From the map, the country is a unique whole, which is the most deeply rooted subconscious of ordinary people, in fact, it is not. The information marked on the map is often only a political meaning, and does not represent the real scope of control, especially in countries with chronic civil unrest.
For example, in Syria, the map of actual control looks like this:
Red is the area controlled by the Assad government, yellow is the area controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (backed by the United States), and the Syrian Democratic forces will cede some territory to the Assad government forces in the face of Turkish threats, that is, the orange area; The green zone adjacent to the northern border is occupied by Turkish-backed Syrian rebels.
Or consider Yemen:
Green is controlled by the Houthis and supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh (Shia), red is controlled by supporters of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi (Sunni), white is controlled by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (Sunni), and brown is controlled by the Southern Transitional Council.
Like the Houthis, who have been in the headlines recently, they control 40% of Yemen's population of more than 23 million, including the capital, Sana 'a, and their power is not to be underestimated.
Does a similar map exist in Myanmar?
I'm sorry, no one's been able to draw it completely yet.
Compared with the pattern of three or five armed forces in Syria and Yemen, there are at least dozens of "civilian and local armed forces" in Myanmar, with complex and changeable components, leading to this situation, and everything starts from the ethnic contradictions in northern Myanmar.
Two, the broken jade
The main ethnic group of Myanmar is the Burman people, who originated from China and belong to the Tibeto-Burman tribe, and migrated to the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River in present-day Myanmar around the 1st century AD.
Today, the Burman population is about 34 million, accounting for 69 percent of Myanmar's total population.
But in northern Burma, the Burman are a serious minority.
In northern Myanmar, there are several ethnic groups that are also of Chinese origin, such as the Shan (Dai), Kachin (Jingpo), Kokang (Han), Wa, and so on. The customs and language of these ethnic minorities are different from those of the Burman people, and they do not even think of being a family with the Burman people.
Therefore, for more than a thousand years, the northern provinces of Burma never submitted to the administration of Burma, and most of the time they were under the administration of the three departments of Yunnan of China, and there were frequent wars with the Burmese dynasty.
But before Burma and northern Burma could play out, the British called.
In 1886, the British occupied the main part of Burma (commonly known as Lower Burma), and in 1890 the British conquered northern Burma and set up the Shan Federation here.
Of course, out of the need to suppress the main ethnic group of the Burmese, the British gave the chieftain here greater autonomy, and was not ruled by the British colonial government of Burma.
Since then, northern Burma, which originally belonged to China, has been completely cut off from Chinese territory.
After the end of World War II, Myanmar was seeking independence, and Shan State in northern Burma also wanted independence, so on February 12, 1947, Shan State, Kachin State, Chin State and Myanmar headquarters signed the Panglong Agreement, decided to jointly fight for independence from the British. After independence, the various ethnic groups in Shan State enjoyed a high degree of autonomy.
Subsequently, Myanmar successfully achieved independence, and the Constitution of the Union of Myanmar clearly states that after the constitution has been in operation for ten years, the ethnic groups in Shan State have the right to decide whether they still want to be part of the Union of Myanmar. Basically, let's figure out how to get our independence from the British first, and if we don't want to be together anymore, let's live separately.
The result is not even 10 years, Myanmar Commander-in-Chief Ne Win coup!
Turning his back on the promise of Myanmar's constitution, he also marched into Shan State on the pretext of expelling the remnants of the Kuomintang army in northern Myanmar.
Originally, the ethnic minorities in Shan State and the Burman do not violate the river, and now the Burman army has come to achieve real rule over the ethnic minorities, and the originally free ethnic minorities who do it!
So ethnic chieftains in Shan State began to form armed forces against the Burmese military government.
However, the ethnic complexity of Shan State itself makes it difficult to unite to fight the Burmese army.
At this time, the Communist Party of Burma came forward, they integrated some of the ethnic minority armed forces in northern Myanmar, reorganized them into the Myanmar People's Army, and established the revolutionary base area of the Communist Party of Burma in Northern Myanmar. In this area, according to the ethnic composition, the various ethnic minority armed forces are roughly divided into the Northeast military region (mainly Kokang, the leader is Peng Jiasheng), the 101 military region (mainly Kachin, the leader is Ding Ying), the central military region (mainly Wa, the leader is Bao Youxiang), and the four major military regions of the 815 military region (mainly Chinese educated youth, the leader is Lin Mingxian).
Subsequently, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Myanmar, the four major military regions soon connected the base areas in northern Myanmar into a prosperous one.
But the good times did not last. The main body of the CPM is the Burman ethnic group, and the Burman ethnic group has a habit called Great Burman nationalism, which excludes ethnic minorities. As a result, most of the personnel of the CPM Central Committee are Burman ethnic group, while the four military regions that control the military power are all established by ethnic minorities. In this way, contradictions naturally arise. Out of consideration for his future and fate, Peng Jiasheng finally chose to reach an agreement with the Myanmar military government. On March 11, 1989, Peng Jiasheng launched a mutiny to drive out the Burmese Communist Party and establish himself as the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Force, which is now the Kokang Alliance Force. Subsequently, the mutiny quickly spread in the base areas of the CPM, and in only six months, the CPM lost almost all its troops and fell apart. Of course, these four chose to mutiny, not to defect to the Myanmar military government, but to stand on their own as king, to unite with the Myanmar military government to bargain, and finally after negotiation, the Myanmar military government and the four reached an agreement.
The original Northeast Military Region was reorganized into the First Special Zone of Shan State, and Peng Jiasheng was the chairman, thus becoming King Kokang. The original 101 Military region was reorganized into the first Special District of Kachin State, and Ding Ying was the chairman, thus becoming the king of Banwa. The original Central Military region was reorganized into the Second Shan State Special Zone, and Bao Youxiang was the chairman, thus becoming the king of Wa State. The original 815 Military Region, reorganized as the "Shan State Fourth Special Region", Lin Mingxian as chairman, thus becoming the King of Mong La.
This agreement basically laid the foundation for the territory and power pattern of northern Myanmar, and the four chairmen of the special zone also became veritable earth emperors. At present, the drug trade, armed conflicts and ethnic conflicts in the region are intertwined, and the infiltration and intervention of the western external forces in the United States under the pretext of drug control and combating transnational crimes, with the intention of blocking the foreign economic corridor in southwest China, constitutes the most important geopolitical structure in northern Myanmar.
The representative one is that the Kachin armed forces with the support of the United States, with more advanced equipment, occupy a good position in the northern mountains of Myanmar for many years, not only control mineral resources, but also can block part of China's economic corridor to the Bay of Bengal, whenever China and Myanmar jointly build, the Kachin will jump out of the war. Second, the Kokang Allied forces were composed of ethnic minority Tuji forces in the area and veterans of the expeditionary forces left in the local area after the Kuomintang fled. During the Chiang Kai-shek period, Taiwan was also used as one of the bases for "counterattacking the mainland", providing money and weapons, helping to provide drug production technology and financial money laundering services, so that they could poison the mainland and so on.
In recent years, the Kachin and Kokang have used the abundant funds brought by the electricity fraud and drug industry to buy more and more powerful weapons everywhere, so they always grab territory everywhere, due to the lack of other income, in order to protect themselves, so the border areas between the Wa State and other forces have also appeared some hidden under the water.
It is not difficult to find that these big families in northern Myanmar, in fact, no matter which family property is full of evil, are using their own family influence to provide protection for the rampant electricity fraud groups. At the same time, several big families rely on the protection money and rent provided by the electricity fraud group to expand private armed groups, forming a gray armed group. With the industrialization and cluster effect of a large number of electricity fraud groups, electricity fraud has become a pillar industry in northern Myanmar, and further derived into a complete criminal industry chain of smuggling, kidnapping, personal information trading, money laundering and human trafficking.
Third, attacking China
To tell the truth, in recent years, China has made great efforts to crack down on electricity fraud. Under the framework of the "cloud Sword" action, the national public security organs have continued to carry out special actions such as "cutting the card", "cutting the flow" and "pulling the nail", constantly strengthening the crackdown and punishment, and have also developed a nationwide anti-fraud APP.
But the result?
In 2022, there were 464,000 electrical fraud cases nationwide, an increase of 5 percent year-on-year.
Why is this so?
Because of the anti-electricity fraud in China, it is difficult to find the root cause of the electricity fraud park. Cut off the card, cut off the current, for the electricity fraud group, just increase a little obstacle, they change some new mobile phone number, the same can continue to fraud.
Therefore, the fundamental fight against electricity fraud is to completely eliminate electricity fraud gangs.
But how easy is it to break up an electrical fraud ring? The various electrical fraud groups have various families to do the umbrella, and behind the major families is the Myanmar government, and even does not rule out the Myanmar government in Kokang garrison also share a share of the proceeds of electricity fraud, you now let them to fight electricity fraud, that is not what is the skin of the tiger?
What about learning from India to "send troops to fight electricity fraud"? (It's actually a rumor.)
No. How would that be any different than invading Burma? After all, Myanmar is a sovereign country!
In addition, electricity fraud is not only in northern Myanmar, the Philippines, Malaysia and even Dubai have, today in the name of fighting electricity fraud to send troops to Myanmar, tomorrow in the same name will not send troops to other countries? Originally, the United States is worried that there is no means to divide ASEAN, if China sends troops, the United States is afraid that the dream will wake up laughing. Therefore, relying solely on China's domestic efforts, it is very, very difficult to eradicate electricity fraud.
However, China is not convenient to act, someone is convenient to act, that is the Peng family's courageous Allies.
Since 2023, China has increased pressure on all forces in northern Myanmar to eradicate electricity fraud and hand over criminals, especially organizers. Regarding this, the attitude of various forces in northern Myanmar is different. The two Wa and four Mong La special zones are still cooperative, although they are reluctant to bring profits from electricity fraud, but they are more aware of the consequences of upsetting China. Therefore, after more than ten days of meetings, the United Wa State Party began to fully cooperate with the Chinese police to crack down on electricity fraud, not only dispatching the special police force of the Wa State Political and Legal Committee to bring down several electricity fraud parks, but also handing over the organizers and protection umbrellas of electricity fraud Chen Yapan (Bao Yanpan) and Xiao Yapan (He Chuntian). One of these two people is Bao Youxiang's nephew, the other is Bao Youxiang's son-in-law, the nephew and son-in-law are handed over, it can be seen that the Wa State is determined.
Since October, the Wa state has handed over 4,666 suspects to China, including several senior Wa leaders.
But the Kokang side, they're not cooperating. Even if China gave the list one after another, the Kokang always did not hand over people, in the face of increasing pressure from China, the five families of the Kokang began to transfer the electricity fraud group to the government controlled area, temporarily shelter.
However, on October 20, when transferring the electrical fraudsters from Crouching Mountain Village, something happened. There are rumors that some people escaped during the transfer, and the Mingjia police unit in charge of guarding them shot them to death. There is no exact information on the matter, but it has attracted the attention of the Chinese side. Although these people are true electrical fraudsters, but their own Chinese law, you shot people to death, what is the matter? So the Chinese side asked the Kokang side to explain the situation, but the Kokang side still ignored it.
This incident gave the Allies the opportunity and reason to carry out a major operation.
The Bold Allied general who commanded the operation
On October 27, the first seven victims of Crouching Tiger Mountain Village, the Allied forces dispatched three brigades, with the cooperation of the De Aung Army, the Rakhine Army and other ethnic minority armed forces, in the name of combating electricity fraud and rescuing compatriots, in the name of Kokang Qingshui River, Gunung, Menggu, Lashio, Nanzhuang and other places in the Myanmar government to launch a comprehensive attack on a number of strongholds.
It has to be said that this time the Kokang Allies are too politically correct to raise the banner of fighting electrical fraud. Eradicating electrical fraud and rescuing compatriots, this flag is played out, and whoever opposes them is a supporter of electrical fraud. As far as China is concerned, the Kokang Allies did help China take down these electrical fraud parks and hand them over to China.
It is obvious that the so-called fight against electrical fraud by the Resolute Allies is just a game of pulling the banner and playing the tiger's skin.
To some extent, the Allied forces have taken the flag of combating electricity fraud, but China has been kidnapped, and China is not able to accuse the Allied forces of initiating the war. Therefore, for some voices on the Internet supporting the Allies, in fact, it is unnecessary, and the Chinese people do not need to empathize with the Allies. After all, if the Allies had really brought down the Kokang, the burden of feeding the hundreds of thousands of Kokang people would have fallen on the Allies. Farming alone is obviously not enough, and in order to get money for military expenses, will the Allies pick up the electricity fraud again? It's very hard to say.
You know, the Allied forces also have a record, in the era of the Allied Forces rule Kokang, Kokang gambling, drug trafficking problems are very rampant, countless Chinese people were deceived to Kokang extortion money. Therefore, there is no need for China to support the Allied forces because of the flag of fighting electricity fraud, so the claim on the Internet that the Allied forces "picked up Chinese equipment in the mountains" is completely nonsense.
China's attitude towards the war in northern Burma has been clear:
China is highly concerned about the conflict situation in northern Myanmar and urges all parties to immediately cease fire and stop fighting, resolve differences peacefully through dialogue and consultation, avoid escalation, and take concrete and effective measures to ensure security and stability of the China-Myanmar border.
You see that?
China is asking for a ceasefire to stop the fighting and avoid escalation, rather than supporting one side to fight the other, even in the name of fighting electricity fraud.
Why is this so?
Because the spread of war in northern Myanmar is not in China's interests.
First, the war in northern Myanmar will inevitably lead to the displacement of civilians, create a wave of refugees, and affect the stability of China's border.
As early as August 2009, during the Kokang civil war, a large number of refugees fled to the nearby town of Nansan in Yunnan Province, China. In a humanitarian spirit, Nansan Town has taken in more than 10,000 Kokang refugees.
When the Kokang civil war broke out again in 2015, the Southern Umbrella border once again became a gathering place for Kokang refugees, hosting more than 20,000 people.
The difficulty of hosting refugees is not that they can be fed, fed and medically treated, but that you cannot know who is hiding among them, whether there are terrorists, militants or even drug dealers.
If not properly controlled, social problems such as illegal labor, violent crimes, infectious diseases, drug smuggling, human trafficking and sexual services are easily brought about, seriously threatening the stability and security of border areas.
Second, whether the Allies win or lose, in fact, China is not willing to see.
If the Allies win, no matter what China does, the Western media will hype up China's support for another country's rebel forces, interfere in other countries' internal affairs, create international panic and accusations against China, and bring some unnecessary obstacles to China's other projects.
If the Allies are defeated, then there is no force to balance the bold five families, and the five families will only intensify, ignoring China's warnings and representations, and continue to engage in electrical fraud and kidnapping activities.
Third, the war in northern Myanmar has seriously affected China's overall strategy.
To be honest, the issue that China needs Myanmar's cooperation most at present is not electricity fraud, but breaking the United States' Malacca blockade.
Myanmar's geographical position is very special, right on the Indian Ocean coast, is one of the best routes for China to bypass the Strait of Malacca.
More importantly, because of the poor relations between the Burmese military government and the United States, the United States does not have much influence in Myanmar, which is very conducive to China's access to the Indian Ocean through Myanmar.
In fact, one of China's three major cross-border oil pipelines, the China-Myanmar Oil Pipeline, goes through Myanmar to reach the Indian Ocean.
Once China has enough influence in the Indian Ocean, it will get twice the result with half the effort, whether it is for the Belt and Road or for the management of Africa, and even subvert the entire Sino-US chess pattern.
In this process, what China needs to do is to ask Myanmar to cooperate with China's grand strategy and promote the China-Myanmar railway to reach the deep water port of Kyaukpyu on the Indian Ocean.
Once the railway is completed, it will completely change the geographical situation of China, just like the China-Laos-Thailand railway.
Therefore, China-Myanmar relations are very important and should not be damaged. Northern Myanmar is fighting and fighting all day long. How can China carry out the Belt and Road?
Moreover, the Allied forces' territorial grab is easily perceived by Myanmar as being backed by China and alienating Myanmar from China.
If the United States takes advantage of the lifting of sanctions against the Burmese military junta to woo it, then Burma is likely to fall to the United States.
Therefore, whether it is for security considerations or for national strategic considerations, China hopes that northern Myanmar can extinguish the war and restore peace at an early date.
From January 10 to 11, 2024, under the mediation and promotion of the Chinese side, representatives of the Myanmar army and the Kokang, Thean and Rakhine civil and ground armed organizations in northern Myanmar held peace talks in Kunming, Yunnan, China, and reached a formal ceasefire agreement. Although there is no guarantee how long the ceasefire will last, at least China's efforts to maintain peace along the border are playing a constructive role. Because China knows that chaos will inevitably bring evil, and only by maintaining border stability can the drug and electricity industries be fundamentally eliminated, to this end, China continues to provide support and assistance to the best of its ability, guide northern Myanmar to develop alternative cultivation, support manufacturing, and allow serious business to replace gray industry, to help Myanmar out of chaos.
