Chapter 012 Visit to Myanmar

In the mountainous region of central Myanmar, the capital Naypyidaw military airport.

Four fighter jets with Bayi and Pentagram liveries escorted a large transport plane over the airfield. With the safe landing of the transport plane, the four fighters circled around and headed back. And higher in the sky, one of China's most advanced early warning aircraft has also turned around and returned home.

The military airfield below is even more heavily guarded, with a full division of troops stationed at the airfield and nearby important places to protect this Chinese dignitary who is coming to Burma today. This Chinese dignitary has a prominent status and lofty status, and the Burmese side does not dare to take the slightest care about his security. Because this person is Xiao Chen, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, and director of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, he is not only one of the party and state leaders in China today, but also because he is the grandson of Xiao Fei, the elder of the first and second generations of the core leadership of the Communist Party of China, and the nephew of Xiao Zheng, the core veteran of the fourth generation of the leadership of the Communist Party of China, he has now begun to gradually

Located in the mountainous region of central Myanmar, 400 kilometers north of Yangon, Naypyidaw is the capital of Myanmar. Pyinmana was originally the third largest city in Myanmar, and was once the military stronghold of the Myanmar national hero General Aung San (the father of the opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who was under military and political arrest) to launch the war of independence and the stronghold of the communist guerrillas. The main inhabitants are the Burmese ethnic group, and there are also ethnic minorities such as Shan, Kachin, Karen, Kayah, Denu, Buran, and Boou. It is also a mountain trading town between the former capital Yangon and the northern metropolis of Mandalay. Now the capital of the Union of Myanmar, the capital was moved from Yangon on November 6, 2005, and the new name was officially announced on the 2006 Military Day.

Xiao Chen, who walked off the plane in an ordinary white shirt with short sleeves, had only a brief conversation with the Burmese politicians and military officials who went to greet him, and then under the heavy protection of the Burmese military, he got into a Mercedes-Benz S600 bulletproof car that was airlifted from the capital of China in advance, and then the Myanmar military opened the road with military vehicles and escorted Xiao Chen's bulletproof car to the presidential palace.

After the establishment of the new policy of Myanmar, the top level of Myanmar has now formed a situation in which the troika of the Supreme Council, the political fǔ, and the general headquarters of the three armed services has been mutually restrained and controlled, and the highest power is the Supreme Council, and Burmese President Thein Sein is only one of the members of the committee, and the real power is still in the hands of General Than Shwe and Deputy General Maung Aye, therefore, the outside world calls the current new policy fǔ just a puppet government, and the military continues to control the country from the front of the stage to the background, and the House of the People and the House of Nationalities have almost become the policy endorsement bodies of the Myanmar military. Xiao Chen believes that this Supreme Council does not have such a body in the constitution, and the reason why it can exist and continue to hold power in Myanmar is because of the existence of Myanmar's long-term authoritarian politics, and the current political structure and legislative structure are designed by the military. But this institution will no longer exist after the official withdrawal of the Than Shwe generation.

With the assumption of the new commander-in-chief of the three armed forces in Myanmar, Min Aung Hlaing, and the chief of the general staff of the three armed forces, Lieutenant General Latte Win, the personnel adjustment of the top level of the Myanmar military is basically in place, and at present, the moderates and hardliners of the Myanmar military have formed a new state of balance and restraint in terms of strength in dealing with the anti-political organizations, political parties, and various civilian forces in the country. In the Burmese military, the opinion of taking a tough stance on the militia groups will continue to occupy a relatively important position for some time to come, and as a result, military conflicts in some parts of Myanmar will continue and may expand.

To this end, the United Wa State Army, the Kachin Independence Army, the Southern Shan State Army, the Mon State Liberation Army and other civilian and local armed organizations are also actively strengthening preparations for war, and at the same time, the Wa State and Kachin Independence Organizations are also appealing to the New Deal to do their utmost to resolve differences and conflicts through political dialogue and avoid war. Rather, in order to avoid the hardship-won peaceful environment and the fruits of construction being destroyed by war, we will do our utmost to resolve differences without resorting to war. Although the Myanmar military also sent a representative to contact the Wa State in response to the Wa State's appeal, there is still a long way to go in the coming days due to the disagreement between the two sides and the fact that the representative's military rank and authority are too limited to reach any agreement.

Although the hard-liners of the Burmese military have taken a hardline attitude and in the form of war to deal with the militia groups, they are still quite considerate about which militia groups to attack, and they are attacking those militia groups that they believe will be able to achieve certain results without causing a strong backlash from the Chinese side. In the strategy of dealing with the United Wa State Army, the Mongla Allied Army, and the Kachin Independence Army in the China-Myanmar border area, due to the attitude of the Chinese people, they still only adopt the means of high pressure, encroachment, siege, and low intensity, and it is very difficult for a full-scale military conflict to break out. However, it is undeniable that the newly appointed commander of the Burmese military region and the newly established military region have a strong desire to make themselves famous and promoted through their military exploits, and therefore they cannot rule out the possibility of taking the opportunity to swallow a piece of the area controlled by the civilian armed forces and to resolve the armed forces of some of the armed groups in a single fell swoop in low- and even-intensity conflicts.

Therefore, Xiao Chen believes that after encountering such conflicts, especially in Wa State and Site, under the premise of controllable scale of the war and controllable border stability, they must concentrate several times the superior forces of the Burmese army to carry out a one-time devastating blow to the provocative Burmese army, completely wipe out its structure from the Burmese army's series, or take down a strategic important place and town, so as to completely and resolutely cut off the Burmese army's tentative and provocative low-intensity tactics, so that the commander of the Burmese military region will completely lose his illusions. Realizing that there is nothing to be gained by taking military action, but rather that one's political life and military career is ending because of a possible failure, it is only in this way that it is possible to truly sit down and negotiate the resolution of differences and conflicts.

The Wa State and the Four Special tried their best to negotiate peace, but in the face of the provocations that were being carried out step by step, it was very necessary to resolutely retaliate in a controllable manner. At the same time, the Wa State and the Four Special Industries will certainly strengthen their internal defense cooperation, straighten out their internal command system as soon as possible, resolve some differences as soon as possible, and prevent the Burmese army from taking advantage of the opportunity to encroach on them.

And the reason why Xiao Chen came this time was also a change caused by this situation.

In the history of the military and political government of Myanmar, there was a historical allusion that General Nai Win organized the Socialist Program Party, and finally won very few votes in the central election.

At present, the ruling party, the Union for the Consolidation and Development of the Union of Myanmar, is congenitally insufficient, and the Association for the Consolidation and Development of the Union, which started as a mob and has tens of millions of members, was originally a complex faction, but it was suddenly reorganized into the Union of Myanmar Consolidation and Development Party a few years ago.

The Central Committee was divided into the Central Executive Committee, the Secretariat Faction, and the Wuguan Faction, which were preparing to carve up power. Thein Sein, Shwe Man, and Ding Aung Minh Wu parachuted in to organize the Party Central Committee, but they were still unable to unify the whole party. Therefore, he ordered to go north to learn from the experience, prepare to learn from the experience of China, strengthen party building as soon as possible, and consolidate the fruits of victory. It is planned to organize the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the Supreme Committee of the State, and the Central Military Commission to unify the power of the party, government, and the army, and create a century-old plan.

Since it involves organizational issues, and Myanmar is, after all, an independent country, those who go to Myanmar to guide the building of its party organizations need to have a high political status within the Communist Party of China and in China, and at the same time have a strong ability to handle complex affairs, and at the same time it is best to have a "professional counterpart." Therefore, after two meetings, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee decided to have Xiao Chen, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, and director of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, lead the team. In fact, the real task of visiting Myanmar is to "guide the building of the party organization of the Burmese side, especially the Gongfa Party."

Naypyidaw, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- President Thein Sein of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar met with Xiao Chen, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, and director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, at the Naypyidaw Presidential Palace on the afternoon of October 2.

Hsiao Chen first conveyed Chairman Xue Yuanlan's cordial greetings and best wishes to President Thein Sein.

Xiao Chen spoke positively of the profound friendship between the Chinese and Burmese people and the great progress made in the relations between the two countries over the past 63 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, and said that the development of China-Myanmar relations is the unswerving foreign policy of the Chinese party and government. The Chinese side is willing to work with the Myanmar side to actively implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries during President Thein Sein's recent visit to China, strengthen friendly exchanges at all levels, expand exchanges and cooperation in various fields, promote the exchange of experience in governing the country between the ruling parties of the two countries, and continuously consolidate and develop the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries. Xiao Chen also said that the Chinese side appreciates the achievements made by Myanmar in promoting national development, and will, as always, respect and support Myanmar's development path chosen in accordance with its national conditions, and believe that under the leadership of His Excellency the President, Myanmar will be able to make greater achievements on the road of national development and construction. Xiao Chen briefly introduced the 92nd anniversary of the founding of Huaxia and the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan".

Thein Sein asked Xiao Chen to convey his cordial greetings and best wishes to President Xue Yuanlan and welcome Xiao Chen's visit to Myanmar with the CPC delegation. Thein Sein said: I am very pleased with the recent successful visit to China and the upgrading of bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. Myanmar is willing to work closely with China to maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges between the two countries, strengthen practical cooperation in the fields of economy and trade, transportation, energy and agriculture, strengthen cooperation within the framework of regional and sub-regional cooperation, consolidate the traditional friendship between the two countries, and consolidate the foundation of friendly relations between the two countries. Myanmar will continue to firmly pursue the one-China policy, firmly support China's position and proposition on safeguarding its core interests, and firmly support China's path of peaceful development.

After the meeting, Xiao Chen and Vice President U Tin Aung Myint Oo attended the signing ceremony of the relevant cooperation agreement between the two countries.

On the same day, Xiao Chen also met with the speaker of the House of the People of the Parliament of the Union of Myanmar and the vice chairman of the Union for Solidarity and Development Party (Gongfa Party) U Shwe Man, and the general secretary of the Gongfa Party, U Tai Oo, to have an in-depth exchange of views on the development of relations between the two parties and the two countries, and attended the signing ceremony of the "Memorandum of Exchange and Cooperation between Huaxia ** and the Solidarity and Development Party of the Union of Myanmar" with U Tai Oo.

That night, Xiao Chen stayed at the five-star "Huaxia. Taihu Lake" hotel.
