“ The KMT assisted the Kokang ancestors to establish the military wing before they flee to Myanmar as retreated from Yunnan ”
News and commentaries which slum and disparage the China’s role in Myanmar conflicts have been circulated lately these days with momentum, especially by the western-funded news outlets, western government news agencies such as BBC, VOA, and the imperialist propagandists. And the West bloc has levered its ill-will behaviours with attitude of anti-Tatmadaw narrations in Myanmar affairs.
The moves have initiated since after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s official visit to Naypyidaw in August and has escalated after the meeting minute of the informal talk between Chinese special envoy to Myanmar Deng Xijun with the leaders of United Wa State Army (UWSA) in late August was leaked in early October.
As per the leaked information, it is obviously seen that China stands abreast with Myanmar central government in the ongoing military and political crises of the country, and it is reasonable for an immediate neighbour with close proximity in territorial connection of facilitating in the domestic conflicts with borderline instability of its neighbour as a stakeholder nation.
“ the UWSA’s involvement in the happened military assaults in northern Shan State intended to create hostility between Myanmar and China.”
However, involvement or inter­vention of the country with geogr­aph­ically long-distance to Myanmar or does not have direct concerns is unacce­ptable and those countries have no right to do so.
As per the abovementioned leaked information, the non-State armed forces in northern Shan State such as the MNDAA terrorists, TNLA (Ta’ang terrorists), and the UWSA are believed to collude with the U.S. behind closed doors. Before this, the Kokang terrorist group MNDAA frequently issued ambi­gu­ous and unpleasant statements from time to time which tried to deceive the public that the MNDAA is somehow influenced by the Communist Party of China.
Nonetheless, the MNDAA Kokang, despite speaking Han language, whose ancestors built a deep and good relation with Kuomintang Chinese nationalists (KMT) in the bygone history. The KMT assisted the Kokang ancestors to establish the military wing before they flee to Myanmar as retreated from Yunnan, according to the documents.
In an article about Kokang backstory published by the Irrawaddy in 2015, Bertil Lintner, a Swedish journalist and author wrote: “Sharing similar politics, many Kokang chieftains allied themselves with the Chinese nationalists.”
Again, the Myanmar Now news outlet backed by the U.S. wrote an Anti-Chinese editorial piece in recent days. However, some leads were involved in it that can be traced back the linkage between the MNDAAs and the U.S.-backed KMT (today Taiwanese). These are very obvious facts of having a deep link between MNDAAs and the U.S.-backed Taiwanese. In other words, most Kokang people are the descendants of the KMT.
The translation of the Myanmar Now article states: “In 1942, after Myanmar's independence from British colonial rule, the Kokang group, under the leadership of their leaders, sought assistance from the KMT to resist the fascist Japanese occupation. At that time, the Kuomintang Chinese government provided military assistance for the formation of Kokang armed groups.”
In addition, those KMT descendants in Myanmar formerly survived their economy with plantations of opium. Those illegal businesses later turned into the lawful businesses as taken advantages from the ‘Gentleman agreem­ent peace deals’ with the State Law and Order Restoration Council in 1990s.
The opium produced in northern Shan State such as Wa, Mongla and Kokang dominated areas in 1960s and 1970s was traded in Vietnam War being transported through the Southeast Asian countries. Many non-fiction books revealed the involvement of the United States, again, as the role of mastermind of the opium market in the Vietnam War. By this mean, the opium produced by the KMT descendants expanded its market to the United States at that time.
At present, this black economy of opium trade transformed into online scams with the aids of external technicians in the region. Other crimes associated with the cyber scams in the region involved transnational organized crimes, murder, drug smuggling, human trafficking, selling internal viscera, and extracting blood.
“ Many non-fiction books revealed the invol­vem­ent of the United States, again, as the role of mastermind of the opium market in the Vietnam War.”
When talking about the cyber scams on Myanmar land, it should not neglect the role of major semiconductor manufacturer ‘Taiwan’ – a fishbone to the People’s Republic of China, scholars remarked.
What is more, there were many smokescreens play in the MNDAA’s armed equipping. The weapons used by the MNDAAs and the TNLAs in Operation 1027 were labelled Made-in-China. That drew public attention to ambiguity of whether Chinese indirect involvement in those military assaults. However, scholars pointed that although the weapons that the terrorists used at that time were Chinese made, as per the label, there involved installations of other equipment. In fact, the semicon­ductors play essential in the military system.
Furthermore, the UWSA’s involvement in the happened military assaults in northern Shan State intended to create hostility between Myanmar and China. The Wa group usually takes advantages from both countries sitting in the borderline under the title of ‘Autonomous Region’. Although the UWSA denied involvement in the ongoing military conflicts in the region and its linkage with the West bloc, many Wa youths are now migrating to the western countries, according to analysts.
It is a reasonable question to ask “To what extend do they (those youths with western psychologically trained) believe in democracy?” If they too much accept the political ideology of the west-dominated lectures, it will be a threat in the near future in that borderline area. –
