Tense Relationship between China and Myanmar Highlighted by Visit of Junta Leader

kunming - The leader of the Myanmar junta is visiting China for the first time, showcasing the tense relationship between the two countries.

The leader of the Myanmar junta is visiting China for the first time since coming to power through a coup, aiming to discuss friendship between the governments and peoples of the two countries, as well as to enhance economic cooperation in various sectors. China has confirmed the visit, expressing interest in promoting regional trade and investments.

Meanwhile, the relationship between China and Myanmar is strained due to border tensions. Myanmar faces armed resistance from various ethnic minority groups and 'people's defense forces' who have risen against the junta that took power after the February 2021 coup, overthrowing the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. The UN estimates thousands of casualties and over a million displaced people in Myanmar since the coup.

China is concerned about the escalating unrest and potential involvement of Chinese citizens in the conflict. Recent incidents include an explosion near the Chinese consulate in Mandalay and warning shots fired by Chinese forces near the border to prevent conflict expansion.

President Xi Jinping has long-standing ties with resource-rich Myanmar, maintaining a delicate balance amid the political turmoil. China has not condemned the coup officially nor recognized the junta leader, leading to calls for new elections in Myanmar. China has mediated ceasefires between the junta and rebels, despite multiple breaches.

Mutual mistrust exists between the countries, with Myanmar suspecting China of playing both sides by supporting the junta while engaging with ethnic armies. Reports also suggest Russian support for the junta through military exercises and arms supply, with Russia advocating for new elections in Myanmar. In contrast, the US views elections under the junta as a facade.
