A Chinese fleet recently arrived in Yangon, Myanmar, ending tensions in the military struggle in northern Burma. A day after the Chinese navy's withdrawal, Myanmar's military chief, Min Aung Hlaing, delivered a speech setting the tone for a more than month-long dispute in northern Myanmar and noting that local ethnic armed groups, known as Mindi Wu, had launched a large-scale offensive against the military with the help of "foreign experts." Min Aung Hlaing said in a statement that last month, some "foreign drones" were involved in an airstrike against a military base in northern Myanmar's Shan State, while the militia used "high-tech drones" to strike Myanmar's military bases. However, Min Aung Hlaing did not name the "foreign experts", saying only that the Myanmar army had been forced to evacuate certain locations due to repeated bombing by the militia's use of drones.

Min Aung Hlaing's remarks were also corroborated by some videos on the Internet. Just as during the Russia-Ukraine war, a large number of civilian drones equipped with missiles were used to attack enemy forces, and the civilian forces in northern Myanmar have also used this method on a large scale. The technology of this kind of drone has long been popularized, and there are a large number of skilled workers in war-torn regions around the world, who can use the regular shelves that can be purchased on the market to assemble and transform them into bombers. And China, the world's largest civilian UAV production base, naturally has many engineers who are proficient in this way.
So, the "foreign experts" that Min Aung Hlaing refers to can come from all over the world and be hired for money. Min Aung Hlaing, in the name of the leader of the Myanmar army, has characterized the conflict in northern Myanmar as an "external force", and it is not yet clear whether he is referring to China or the United States and other Western countries.
Burmese militias also sent drones to attack the enemy).
Most importantly, Min Aung Hlaing made such a significant statement about the situation in northern Myanmar at this time, which hides a very sensitive signal. Now Myanmar is full of war, in addition to the northern Burma national liberation organization "Three Brothers Alliance" launched an attack on the "Four Great Families", the Myanmar military also launched an attack, and the Burmese resistance army is backed by the West and launched an attack on Myanmar, and in northern Myanmar, there are also some non-governmental organizations with the support of the West and began to rebel. The military regime in Myanmar is "precarious", which has been praised in Western newspapers.
The military conflict in Myanmar shows no signs of abating).
Mr. Min Aung Hlaing's remarks were also partly a condemnation of China. Not long ago, in Yangon, several pro-army Burmese people supported the Burmese People's Liberation Movement with the acquiescence of the Burmese military. This also reflects the dual character of the Myanmar military group. The Myanmar military has repeatedly declared in public that China has never interfered in Myanmar's internal affairs, and the Myanmar military's female journalist Zo Myint Tun also published an article on her national social media a few days ago"The military ties between China and Myanmar are very close, and cooperation between the armies of the two sides has been further developed. "
The Myanmar military's perception of the telecom fraud industry in northern Myanmar is also a double-edged sword. In the past two years, China has repeatedly pressured the Myanmar military to crack down on the fraud industry in northern Myanmar, but the Myanmar military has turned a blind eye and occasionally grabbed some irrelevant people and let China deal with them. Since the Three Brothers Alliance of Northern Myanmar launched an attack on Kokang, the Myanmar military has carried out a large-scale crackdown on the telecom fraud "park", transferring thousands of criminals to China, including Ming Xuechang, a small telecom fraud group, but they are still very tolerant of the four major families. The Chinese authorities are not satisfied with this.
Burning of some container trucks on the China-Myanmar border).
China** did not provide assistance to civilians to arms. On the Internet, some militias are armed with Type 95 submachine guns from China in the army, which is false, because Kokang has China's own arsenal and can produce many models of light firearms on its own. Peshawar, a small town on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, is famous for its "hand-rubbed" production, almost all firearms can be copied, and the Burmese militia has a production process that surpasses Peshawar.
As we have said before, there are a large number of criminal gangs such as pornography, gambling, drugs, and fraud in the places controlled by the civilian armed forces in Myanmar, and none of them are "clean";This time, the three brothers joined forces, ostensibly to assist China in cleaning up the electricity fraud gang, but in fact they wanted to regain the land and crack down on the thieves, and the hatred between them and Peng Jiasheng was enough to produce a long book. In the past, civil armed conflicts in northern Myanmar have been frequent, and Chinese border residents have suffered a lot, and this time is no exception: not long ago, a Chinese convoy was attacked in the town of Mujie in the northwest of northern Myanmar's Shan State, resulting in the burning of hundreds of troop carriers, which both militia groups and Myanmar** denied.
China's visit to Myanmar for military exercises on the China-Myanmar border and its dispatch is also a hint to the rebels and the Myanmar military. For the opposition, "China believes that there will be no chaos in our country, and there will be no uneasiness or uneasiness. The Chinese side wants to de-escalate the war in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, which could adversely affect the stability of China's borders and the Yunnan region. In the eyes of the Myanmar military, China says it will continue to fight telecom fraud, but that doesn't mean we'll help them. China hopes that the Myanmar military will simply see the accident as a cross-border collaboration to stop fraud.
At present, China has basically achieved its goal of eradicating telecom fraud organizations in northern Myanmar, but the attacks of the Mindi armed forces on the Burmese army are still very fierce, and this has nothing to do with China. China's attitude towards Myanmar's historical legacy is clear: the use of civil and local forces needs to be negotiated with the people, not by force. But China will not take a position on this issue, and China has never interfered in Myanmar's internal affairs.
