Recently, Myanmar** extradited six key leaders of the Kokang wire fraud criminal group in northern Myanmar to China, including Bai Socheng, Bai Yingcang, Wei Huairen, Liu Zhengxiang, Liu Zhengmao, and Xu Laofa. This marks significant progress in China's fight against cross-border telecommunications network fraud. On December 10, 2023, China publicly offered rewards to 10 leaders of fraud syndicates in northern Myanmar, and the Myanmar Army** responded positively. Subsequently, China's Ministry of Public Security organized a working group to go to Myanmar to carry out international police law enforcement cooperation, and Myanmar** has arrested criminal suspects one after another, and only 4 are currently at large.
Negotiations between China and the Myanmar authorities on the lease of Kyaukpyu Port have also been successful, with a 99-year contract being reached. This agreement is not only an economic agreement, but also a major diplomatic achievement of China's access to the sea in the Indian Ocean, which is of great significance to ensuring strategic energy security. For Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in southwest China, the lease of Kyaukphyu is equivalent to gaining access to the sea, helping some imported energy to avoid the Strait of Malacca, while also helping China expand its influence in the Indian Ocean.
This successful diplomatic layout has also laid the foundation for China's increased strategic influence in the Indian Ocean region. Although the Indian army is unhappy with this, believing that China has gained an important support point in the Indian Ocean, this is undoubtedly a sign of China's transformation into a land-sea complex power. From the perspective of China-Myanmar relations, China's mediation in the war in northern Myanmar and its promotion of a peaceful return have demonstrated its tremendous influence on all parties in Myanmar. For the Myanmar military, this means that China's strength in times of political crisis will be saved, and its dependence on China will be further deepened.
By deepening cooperation with Myanmar, China is also expected to increase its influence across ASEAN. This series of events, from China's promotion of the crackdown on wire fraud, the launch of the Kokang Alliance, to the signing of important agreements between Myanmar and China, to the extradition of criminal leaders, all represent China's great success in Myanmar's strategic layout. It should be emphasized that this is not the same as China's support for the Kokang Alliance, but that the organization seized the opportunity of China's crackdown on wire fraud and gained greater influence through mediation.
This series of positive developments is undoubtedly heartening and has injected new impetus into China-Myanmar cooperation and regional stability.
