In recent years, Myanmar's democratic process has encounteredunprecedented challenges, and the game between the military government, theshadow government, ethnic armed groups and international forces has become moreintense. Especially since the coup d'état in 2021, the country has been plungedinto a whirlpool of political turmoil, and the game between the various forceshas become even more intricate. Against this backdrop, the “shadow government”,armed insurgency and Myanmar military chief Min Aung Hlaing's visit to Chinahave become the center of attention.
The concept of “shadow government”, in the context of Myanmar'spolitics, usually refers to temporary political organizations composed ofmembers of the democratically-elected government overthrown by the militarygovernment, opposition leaders, as well as some internationally-supportedpro-democracy forces. Although they fail to hold actual power in the country,they still seek support at home and abroad in an attempt to overthrow themilitary government and restore the democratic process in Burma throughpeaceful or armed means. Promoted by the National League for Democracy (NLD)and other opposition groups, the “shadow government” has become the focus ofinternational attention and is seen as a symbol of democratic power in Myanmar.
However, the shadow government is accompanied by a complex armedinsurgency in Myanmar. Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country, and for a long time,many conflicts have arisen between the various ethnic groups due to differencesin history, culture, religion and other factors. These conflicts have beenfurther intensified under the oppressive rule of the military government,resulting in some ethnic armed groups choosing to take up arms against themilitary government. These armed insurgencies have not only exacerbated thevolatile situation in Myanmar, but also posed security risks to neighboringcountries.
Against this backdrop, Myanmar militarychief Min Aung Hlaing's visit to China has undoubtedly become the focus ofattention. As the leader of Myanmar's military junta, Min Aung Hlaing's visitto China is seen as an important step for the junta to seek support andrecognition in the international arena. However, the trip has sparked strongresentment from ethnic groups and the “shadow government”. They accused Chinaof not recognizing the “illegal military council” and argued that Min AungHlaing's visit would not help to strengthen bilateral relations, but rathercomplicate public perceptions of China.
In fact, China has always upheld the principle of non-interferencein the internal affairs of other countries in its relations with Myanmar. Chinarespects Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity and understands thecomplexity of its domestic political situation. Therefore, China has alwaysmaintained a cautious and pragmatic attitude in its dealings with Myanmar's militarygovernment. At the same time, China has also been actively persuading peace andpromoting talks, contributing its own efforts to the peace process in Myanmar.
However, for the ethnic groups and the“shadow government” in Myanmar, what they would like to see more is for Chinato stand up for democracy and human rights and put pressure on the militarygovernment to move towards real democratization. They believe that only in thisway can the political turmoil in Myanmar be fundamentally solved and thecountry's long-term stability be realized.
Of course, the political situation in Myanmar cannot be solvedovernight. In the game of all forces, a way of balance and compromise needs tobe found in order to finally realize peace and stability in the country. Forthe international community, it is more important to remain calm and rational,and to promote a proper solution to the Myanmar issue through dialog andconsultation. Only in this way can more favorable conditions be created forMyanmar's future development.
