China's Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of National Defense respectively expressed their views on the situation in Myanmar, highlighting the importance that China attaches to the friendly relations between China and Myanmar and its concern about the situation in Myanmar. According to China News Network, Chinese spokesman Wang Wenbin said in his statement that China and Myanmar are friendly neighbors, and China fully respects Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity. He looked forward to the steady development of Myanmar and said that China would give full support to the peace process in Myanmar. Meanwhile, in a speech delivered on November 30, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian called on all parties to promote a ceasefire, emphasizing China's deep concern about the situation in northern Myanmar. Wu Qian pointed out that in order to maintain the security of China's borders, the Southern Theater has organized army forces to conduct live-fire military exercises in order to prepare for emergencies that may endanger border security.
The instability in northern Myanmar is a direct threat to China's border security, as it is close to China's southwestern border. In order to safeguard national interests, the 44th escort group of the Chinese Navy also recently visited Myanmar. Earlier, China's public security minister visited Myanmar at the end of October for high-level consultations on China-Myanmar joint law enforcement efforts. This series of actions shows that China is highly concerned about the situation in Myanmar and has made positive efforts to maintain regional peace and security.
At present, the war in Myanmar continues and the situation is volatile. The Arakan Army took control of the town of Baoduo in western Myanmar, a key port area, leading to airstrikes by Tatmadaw warplanes. The United Nations estimates that tens of thousands of people have fled their homes, and the situation is quite urgent. Over the past month, more than 200 civilians have died in northern Myanmar and more than 330,000 have been forced to leave their homes. This not only poses a threat to the existing economic cooperation between China and Myanmar, but could also trigger a wave of refugees in the direction of the Chinese border.
Against this backdrop, China has always been committed to promoting peace talks and hopes that all parties will achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible and resolve the issue through dialogue. The civil strife in Myanmar is the result of the accumulation of contradictions in many aspects, which is mainly reflected in the struggle for control with the local armed forces of various ethnic groups, the internal military-political confrontation of the Burmese ethnic group, and the struggle of interests between local armed forces. In order to alleviate and resolve these three sets of contradictions, it is necessary for all parties to adopt a negotiation and consultation-oriented approach and seek the greatest common divisor of their respective interests.
Min Aung Hlaing staged a coup d'état in 2021 to forcibly take control of Myanmar by military means, leading to an escalation of conflicts of interest between the parties. The peace and reconciliation process in Myanmar has been greatly affected, with the People's Defence Forces (YPF) confronting the Tatmadaw military and the local armed situation becoming more chaotic. This chaotic situation is prone to breed all kinds of crimes, especially in the case of a large number of Chinese people living in northern Myanmar, and the problem of threatening Chinese citizens, such as wire fraud, is particularly prominent. By the time China's police cracked down on wire fraud in northern Myanmar at the end of August, the crime situation in the region had already intensified, evolving from wire fraud to more vicious crimes such as human trafficking and organ trafficking. This situation requires China to eradicate the root causes of crime in the region while apprehending the perpetrators. The eradication of the Ming Xuechang group is only one aspect, but its scale is relatively small compared to other armed fraud forces.
In order to ensure the security of the China-Myanmar border areas, China demands that the Myanmar side thoroughly eliminate the armed forces and defraud forces and destroy the strongholds that provide shelter for Chinese criminals. This is essential to protect the safety of Chinese citizens. As for the fate of the Ming Xuechang group, the Myanmar side needs to explain it clearly to the Chinese side to ensure that the cooperation between the two sides on the issue of fighting crime can continue to advance. While maintaining regional stability, China is willing to promote the peace process in Myanmar and provide positive factors for the development of China-Myanmar friendly relations.
