Chinese representatives personally arrived in Myanmar to supervise the ceasefire in northern Myanmar throughout the process, ensuring that no one dares to act recklessly.
Under the full supervision of the Chinese side, the handover of the Lashio urban area in Myanmar proceeded smoothly. This is due to our invitation by the Myanmar government and the "Mongla Alliance Army" of northern Myanmar to ensure that the peace process in northern Myanmar proceeds without any problems. After the handover was completed, both the Myanmar government and the "Mongla Alliance Army" expressed gratitude for China's constructive role.
In fact, without China, the conflict in northern Myanmar would not have ceased so quickly. No matter how sharp the contradictions between the ethnic armed organizations and the Myanmar government are, they dare not rashly bring the war to China's doorstep. This also gives China a certain degree of influence over the security situation in northern Myanmar, and we have reasonably utilized this influence, ultimately leading to the Kunming talks.
Now that the handover of the Lashio urban area has begun, although the military government and the ethnic armed organizations do not trust each other, they naturally thought of inviting China to supervise the ceasefire, as it is an option acceptable to both sides. And China is also willing to accept the invitation to ensure that no one dares to act recklessly and disrupt the peace process in northern Myanmar.
