Recently, when a Chinese civil aviation plane landed in Yunnan, Bai Suocheng, Wei Huairen, Liu Zhengxiang, and Xu Laofa, the 10 leaders or main suspects of the Northern Myanmar Wire Fraud Group, were successfully brought back to China by China's public security department. This means that all the cases recorded in the genealogies of the three largest wire fraud syndicates in Myanmar - the Ming family, the Wei family and the Liu family will be solved. Considering the Ming family, which had perished before, almost all of the key leaders of the four major wire fraud groups in northern Myanmar have been **. At this time, we will finally be able to bring these "wire fraudsters" from Myanmar to justice! This handover is undoubtedly a milestone event in China's campaign against wire fraud in northern Myanmar, and it marks the complete end of wire fraud activities in northern Myanmar, which undoubtedly brings great joy to people.

Frankly, I was deeply nervous and worried when the Chinese ** began to hunt down the four major families in northern Myanmar. Because, in this place, we have to face an even more formidable enemy than Burma - the spy chiefs of Western countries, and they also have advanced electronic jamming systems. In fact, northern Myanmar is not part of the territory of China, and the leaders of these wire fraud organizations have been in the region for a long time, and they not only have status and **, but also have the protection of the army and the regime. Their activities pose a great threat, even a serious one, to the border areas of China. However, the facts have clearly shown that China's determination to maintain border security and protect the people is beyond doubt.
It is precisely because of China's three-tier layout that we were able to wait patiently for this special day.
First, China has issued arrest warrants for wire fraud and drug traffickers in northern Myanmar to help remove the cancer from the body. After the issuance of the wanted warrant from the Chinese side, the four major families in northern Myanmar felt tremendous pressure and sought cooperation with the Myanmar ** army. As everyone knows, the reason why the four major families in northern Myanmar are so arrogant has an inseparable relationship with the Burmese army. Therefore, although the Chinese side appears to be hunting down the fraud leaders on the surface, it is also actually exerting some pressure on the military in Myanmar. In this game, the situation in northern Myanmar is becoming more and more tense. Initially, Myanmar's army ** Min Aung Hlaing intended to calm the situation by handing over several handymen. Min Aung Hlaing knows that China's pressure cannot be ignored, but eradicating the cancer in northern Myanmar will not happen overnight. Despite this, China has continued to exert pressure, even to the point of making drug traffickers wanted, insisting that all cancers in northern Myanmar be eradicated. Now, with the arrest of Baek So-sung and others, Min Aung Hlaing realizes that his arm cannot withstand the pressure on his thigh.
In addition, the Chinese side has also taken the initiative to take on the role of mediation, creating a platform for all parties in Myanmar to sit down and talk. After the signing of the China-Myanmar ceasefire agreement, the international community praised China's mediation role. Recently, the allied forces composed of the Kokang, De'ang and Arakan armies, under the banner of China's telegraphic fraud, have launched fierce clashes with the military ** in Kokang Lao Cai, which poses a huge threat to the peace and stability of China's Yunnan region. Not only that, China has also used diplomatic channels to pressure Myanmar to put down its arms and engage in dialogue. Therefore, China quickly sent several groups of representatives to Myanmar to urge the parties to reach a ceasefire agreement as soon as possible. Eventually, the ceasefire was signed in Kunming, proving that China played a crucial role in this process.

Eventually, China used its own influence to help Myanmar restore its image on the international stage. At the same time, Myanmar also hopes to restore and strengthen political cooperation with ASEAN countries through China's efforts in order to consolidate its status as a great power and expand its economic interests. Historically, Myanmar has been controlled by the military, which has severely undermined its friendly relations with ASEAN member states. With the deepening of political mutual trust between China and Myanmar, the two sides have begun to attach importance to cooperation in joint economic development and improvement of people's livelihood. Therefore, in order for Myanmar to rejoin ASEAN, it is crucial to find the right time. Therefore, China seized the favorable opportunity of the 8th Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Mechanism Foreign Ministers' Meeting, gave Myanmar an important position as the chairman, and co-chaired the meeting with Minister Wang Yi, opening a new chapter in Myanmar's communication and dialogue with other ASEAN countries.
Therefore, from a macro perspective, China is not just leaving in a hurry after eliminating wire fraud, but needs to rectify the chaos in northern Myanmar from a deep-seated problem. Myanmar has cracked down on China very hard after the wire fraud. After the blackmail has been eradicated, the challenge for Myanmar now is to find its own path to development. The Myanmar side has also wisely entrusted this opportunity of cooperation to China.
Just as Myanmar decided to hand over all the wire fraud bosses to China, Myanmar's military ** decided to restart the Kyaukphyu deep-water port project in cooperation with China, which is also a key step for China to establish a sea access in the Indian Ocean and bypass the Strait of Malacca. This also enables Chinese enterprises to get more opportunities in the international market. In fact, as early as 2007, China and Myanmar have signed a lease contract for Kyaukphyu Port, which has a lease term of up to 99 years. By 2014, Myanmar officially began public bidding for the Kyaukphyu deep-water port project, which was eventually won by China's CITIC Group, which includes the construction of a US$7.3 billion port and a surrounding US$1.3 billion special economic zone.

However, due to the unstable situation in Myanmar, the construction of the Kyaukphyu deep-water port has encountered difficulties, which has led to the suspension of the construction of the China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline, which has already begun. Under such circumstances, the Myanmar side hopes to find a suitable partner for cooperation as soon as possible. It was not until 2020 that the first phase of the project was finally launched, but due to the pandemic and the current political situation in Myanmar, the project once again came to a standstill. Although Myanmar has been actively promoting China-Myanmar oil and gas cooperation, hoping to achieve the opening of the China-Myanmar energy channel as soon as possible, but due to various reasons, this plan has not made substantial progress in the end. It wasn't until late last year that China and Myanmar formally signed an additional agreement on the Kyaukphyu deep-water port to push ahead with the long-delayed project. Now, Myanmar's military has also issued an official statement, hinting that the project will be restarted.
The map shows that Kyaukphyu Port is located northwest of the Strait of Malacca, which has special significance for China. The development of Kyaukphyu Port has integrated southwest China into the Indian Ocean economic network and become an important channel. With the completion of the Kyaukphyu deep-water port and its integration with the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, this is equivalent to opening up a direct passage to the Indian Ocean in the southwest region. The smooth passage of the Maritime Silk Road has made Kyaukphyu Port a link between China and the rest of the world. In the future, goods from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and other places can directly enter Yunnan through the Kyaukphyu port, which not only significantly shortens the transportation distance and reduces logistics costs, but also brings a strategic shift to the inland development of southwest China, and will also help enhance China's status and influence in the Indian Ocean region.
Prior to this, Myanmar had made public a message that Min Aung Hlaing was planning to communicate with the Chinese side with the aim of restarting the railway project from Mujie to Mandalay and further promoting the construction and development of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. In the valley not far away, trains roar by, connecting China and Myanmar. Without the China-Myanmar Railway, Kyaukphyu Port could turn into an isolated port; The importance of Kyaukphyu Port is self-evident, and it carries the future of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. Comparatively speaking, if there was no Kyaukphyu port, then the railway would have lost its anchor point for support. During the meeting, Min Aung Hlaing expressed his firm determination to cooperate with China, emphasizing the strategic importance of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor to Myanmar's development. At present, Myanmar's ** is adopting a two-pronged strategy, and it seems that they are determined to develop together with China, and at this time, Myanmar should also completely cut ties with wire fraud and drugs.
