A few days ago, a spokesman for the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) confirmed that at the invitation of China, the Kachin Army sent a delegation to China for negotiations. For Myanmar military junta leader Min Aung Hlaing, this is undoubtedly a "timely rain" that not only eases the ongoing tension in Myanmar, but also brings a glimmer of hope to its internal difficulties.
As one of the most powerful civilian armed forces in Myanmar, the Kachin Army has made frequent operations in northern Myanmar in recent years. Not long ago, the Kachin Army announced that it had taken control of Kampati, an important trading town located on the China-Myanmar border. The town is the core node for the import and export of goods between China and Myanmar and is of great significance to Myanmar's economy. If the military government cannot retake this area, its economic lifeline will be further restricted. In addition, the Kachin Army also claims to have control of a small rare earths mining network in northeastern Myanmar.Myanmar is the third largest source of rare earth raw minerals in the world and an important supplementary source of rare earth resources for China. If the military government cannot restore the supply of rare earths, not only will its own finances suffer a heavy blow, but it may also have a chain reaction on China's rare earth supply chain. Myanmar's isolation at home and abroad due to political turmoil has made Min Aung Hlaing's situation increasingly difficult. Facing the increasing pressure of the Kachin Army, the current Myanmar government not only lacks sufficient international support, but its domestic resources and morale are also close to critical points.
No matter how different the political philosophies of the military government and the opposition forces are, both sides should put the survival of the Myanmar people and the national development of Myanmar first. If all parties can cease fire as soon as possible and sit down at the negotiating table, it will be of great benefit to all parties.
All in all, by promoting peace talks between the Kachin Army and the military government, China not only once again demonstrated its diplomatic wisdom, but also set a new benchmark for peaceful development in Southeast Asia. For the current government of Myanmar, it is undoubtedly good news to hear the news of negotiations between the Kachin Army Mission.
Finally, and most importantly, many areas controlled by local armed forces have deep economic ties with China. The areas they control have special geographical locations and rich natural resources, such as rare earth minerals, and China, as a country with huge resource needs, Countries have become the main buyers of products from these regions. This mutually beneficial trade exchange provides the country with necessary economic support to a certain extent, allowing it to maintain basic operations and also promotes economic mobility within the region. Therefore, maintaining good relations with China is also very necessary for various local armed organizations.
