The Situation in Northern Myanmar Takes a Turn for the Worse, and Min Aung Hlaing Issues a Warning of "National Division"

Tensions in Northern Myanmar

Summary:

On November 9, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a notice bluntly stating that the security situation in northern Myanmar is complex and severe, reminding Chinese citizens not to travel to northern Myanmar for the time being, and calling on Chinese citizens to move to a safe zone or return home as soon as possible while ensuring safety.

This is also the comprehensive and public evacuation warning issued by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs since the outbreak of the current conflict in northern Myanmar. Before this, the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar mainly issued messages reminding Chinese citizens to pay attention to safety.

When we review China's recent statements on the situation in northern Myanmar, we can clearly see that China's rhetoric has changed significantly and its attitude has become increasingly tough.

When Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong visited Myanmar on October 31 last month, the Myanmar military junta had already lost Qingshuihe Town, an important town on the China-Myanmar border. However, during the meeting, China mainly discussed cooperation in combating e-mail. Risks such as fraudulent online gambling remind the Myanmar government to protect the safety of Chinese citizens in Myanmar.

When Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Nong Rong visited Myanmar on November 3, China directly asked Myanmar to cooperate with China to maintain stability on the China-Myanmar border. In other words, China has actually taken steps to maintain border security.

China has indeed stepped up patrols on the China-Myanmar border in recent times, but the impact on border residents cannot be ignored.

In addition, Agence France-Presse claimed in its report that one Chinese casualty had occurred in this round of conflicts. At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on November 7, spokesperson Wang Wenbin had already used harsh words. He said that China is highly concerned about the escalation of the conflict in northern Myanmar, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the casualties on the Chinese side caused by the conflict, and has raised the issue with relevant parties. We solemnly protest and China has also taken necessary measures to safeguard the safety of citizens’ lives and property.

Since then, China has begun issuing public evacuation warnings. There are various signs that the situation in northern Myanmar is indeed not optimistic. At least from the perspective of a third party, the Myanmar military government is somewhat unable to control the situation.

In fact, the Myanmar military government itself is aware of this. According to the "Lianhe Zaobao" report, at the Myanmar National Defense and Security Council meeting on November 9, Myanmar National Governing Council Chairman Min Aung Hlaing publicly warned that it is now important for the country At this moment, all people should support the government forces. If the situation is not handled properly, Myanmar may fall apart. The Situation in Northern Myanmar Takes a Turn for the Worse, and Min Aung Hlaing Issues a Warning of "National Division"_2

Generally speaking, for the Myanmar military government, the situation has now reached a critical juncture. If the Myanmar military government still cannot calm the situation, then this regime, which itself is not widely recognized by the international community, will only be more questioned. The end result is either that the country is torn apart, or that the military government is forced to step down.
