Bangkok - State-run media in Southeast Asian countries reported on Saturday that the power of the Chinese President of the Chinese President since the Myanmar military government seized power four years ago.

The Myanmar newspaper's Global New Bright report said that Xi Jinping promised to help recover after the devastating earthquake in March and assisted in ending the civil war. The two leaders met on Friday in Moscow to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany's defeat in World War II.

Its report said they also discussed “bilateral relations, strengthening cooperation among sectors and cooperating in regional stability and peace.”

China has been using its influence with national rebel groups to relieve pressure on the military government to stabilize.

China, along with Russia, is the main arms supplier of the Myanmar army in the war against democratic and ethnic resistance. Beijing is also Myanmar's largest trading partner and has invested billions of dollars in mines, oil and gas pipelines and other infrastructure. Its interest in Myanmar security is particularly strong, as the two countries share an 890-mile (1,440 km) border.

The Chinese government has maintained good working relations with the Myanmar ruling military, which was evaded and approved by many Western countries for its elected government and serious human rights violations from Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021.

It is also one of the countries providing major relief and reconstruction assistance after the 7.7-magnitude earthquake on March 28, which killed more than 3,700 people in Myanmar and injured more than 5,100 people.

According to the United Nations, the earthquake exacerbated an already serious humanitarian crisis, with more than 3 million people displaced and nearly 20 million people needed due to the war.

Since the Myanmar army has suffered unprecedented battlefield defeats over the past few years, Beijing has been concerned about instability that threatens Myanmar interests, especially in areas near the Chinese border.

In October 2023, the "Three Brotherhood Alliance" composed of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, the Alakan Army and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army began its offensive, able to quickly capture towns and overspending military bases along the Chinese border along the Chinese border, command centers and strategic cities.

At the time, it was widely regarded as tacit support from Beijing to help promote rampant organized crime in areas controlled by China's ethnic groups.

In early 2024, Beijing helped brokers ceasefire, but this quickly collapsed when the league launched a new attack. The ruling general of Myanmar and the Chinese government gained the initiative in fighting as the focus of supporting democratic guerrillas and armed minorities (and sometimes working together).

The coalition's offense lost momentum after China closed its border crossings, created electricity to Myanmar towns and took other measures to stop the fight.

In Beijing, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army or Mdaa withdraws troops and administration last month, withdrawing from the strategically important town of Lashio, a strategically important town in northeastern Myanmar, which hosts a major regional military headquarters, but rebels occupied it last August.

Army soldiers have re-entered and re-established their base in late April, a member of the MNDAA told the Associated Press on Saturday. He spoke on anonymously because he had no right to post information.

Tar Pan La and Lway Yay Oo, spokesmen for the TA'ANG National Liberation Army, said in an online press conference on May 4 that local residents have been facing difficulties as the Chinese and Myanmar military governments block trade to areas they control.

Tar Pan La said China has been urging the group in person and in the news to avoid conflicts between the border and Chinese investment areas.

TNLA said in a statement released on the Telegram channel on Saturday that the military carried out air strikes in areas under its control every day, although it extended to the end of May, when it announced a ceasefire after the earthquake.
