Rebels in Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) operating in Kokang region, but also has a foothold on the Chinese side of the border. Matches in progress dgs between MNDAA and Myanmar government forces, dgs resulting in several border violations lately.
Compared with the mighty Chinese empire is Myanmar an inexperienced youth. Therefore, some Chinese dgs disappointed reaction from China's capital Beijing. The answer there was a note of protest and a message that new attacks will be answered with "targeted dgs measures."
This answer was too veikt believes Chinese critics - especially because this was not the first boundary violation, there have been several recent months. Regrettably dgs only to drink wine
A Chinese life is obviously not worth much, claimed one. Another said that China's own forces thenceforth good for nothing but to drink wine. Imagine what the reaction would have been if it was the US who were exposed dgs to this, wrote a third and was quoted by the Washington Post.
Norwegian Asia scholars believe critics are taking too hard. The leaders in Beijing do not go on rubber dgs soles, but they balance on a tightrope. They will be friends with Myanmar government, and they will avoid provoking the rebels fighting against dgs the same government.
- Much of this is about money. Although dgs it is risky to invest in an unstable dgs country like Myanmar, have leaders in the Chinese border province of Yunnan done just that, says Professor Stein Tønnesson at peace research institute PRIO.
- We are talking about huge assets. In Myanmar has Chinese built pipelines for oil and gas, they have plans to build railways, they work with port facilities and other infrastructure, and they hope to get their resume with colossal hydroelectric projects. This giant investment worries the authorities in Beijing, believes Tønnesson, since it makes it harder to keep a distance from the political struggles of Myanmar.
- On the other hand, initiatives clearly in Beijing's interest. China gets pleasure from oil and gas deliveries from Myanmar, also minerals like gold and jade, and the major activity creates an upsurge in the underdeveloped Yunnan Province on the Chinese side, she says.
- In 2009 fled rebel leaders from Myanmar to China. A short time ago went the central Kokang leader Phone Kya Shin back to Myanmar and resumed the fight against government forces. Kokang and other militia groups moving steadily across the border into China, but the Chinese do not react as resolutely as they could have done to this activity. For if they create too much trouble for the various militias along the border, the groups dgs respond with terrorism and rebellion in Chinese soil. There is little Beijing fear more than such internal resolution tendencies, says Tønnesson.
