Vice Minister Sun Weidong and his entourage visited Myanmar a few days ago and met with Myanmar leader Min Aung Hlaing and Vice Minister Lon Oo. During the three-day visit, important topics such as bilateral relations between China and Myanmar and the situation in northern Myanmar were discussed. During the visit, Min Aung Hlaing pledged to the Chinese side to continue to cooperate in the construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (MEEC) and to work with the Chinese side to combat cross-border wire fraud and other criminal activities. These commitments demonstrate the importance of Myanmar** to China and its willingness to cooperate. The Chinese high-level officials expressed their concern and expectations for Myanmar and hoped that Myanmar would actively cooperate and jointly safeguard security and stability in the border areas.
Recently, the war in northern Myanmar has continued to escalate, and the Kokang Allied forces have launched another offensive after a brief recuperation, and now have almost complete control of the Kokang region. There was also a large-scale surrender on the part of the army, indicating that the situation of the war was very unfavorable to the army. The military is facing pressure from within and without, not only from the opposition, but also from popular discontent and the escalation of criminal activities in the border areas. In this case, the military needs to adjust its strategy to avoid further decay and threat to the regime.
Under heavy pressure, in order to maintain its own power and status, the military has to make some important adjustments and concessions. First of all, the military is aware of the importance of its relationship with the Chinese side. The problem of telecommunications fraud in Myanmar poses a great threat to the security of China's borders, and the military needs to maintain friendly relations with China and implement its commitment to crack down on telecommunication fraud crimes to avoid long-term border unrest. In addition, the military also faces challenges from the opposition, and in order to seek support from the opposing opposition, the military may take some measures, such as satisfying certain demands of the opposition.
In the past, China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in its internal affairs and remained neutral to political strife within Myanmar. However, China has not stayed out of the situation, but has promoted dialogue and peaceful resolution among all parties through various means, especially actively participating in the issue of telecom fraud, so as to effectively combat telecom fraud in order to ensure the safety of its people and property. China's goal is to safeguard border security and safeguard national interests, and to play an active role in maintaining regional stability and security.
All parties in Myanmar should put aside armed conflict and work together to eliminate instability in the country and pave the way for the people of Myanmar to achieve lasting peace and development. This is the aspiration of not only the people of Myanmar, but also the common aspiration of the region and the world. Myanmar** should take proactive measures to address domestic challenges and external pressures, and move towards a development path that meets the interests of all ethnic groups in order to achieve national harmony and stability. China is willing to continue to maintain close communication and cooperation with Myanmar and all parties involved in promoting peace and development in Myanmar.
Relations between China and Myanmar are particularly important at this juncture. China's high-level visit and Myanmar's positive response demonstrate the common desire of the two sides to strengthen cooperation, maintain border stability and combat crime. For Myanmar, it is crucial to be able to obtain China's political support and cooperation, which will provide a greater political foundation and a stable environment. For China, Myanmar is an important neighbor, and maintaining friendly relations and border security with Myanmar is very important to China's national interests. In the future, China and Myanmar should continue to strengthen cooperation, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and jointly promote peace, stability, prosperity and development in Myanmar.
