On 2 April, the Southern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted an actual combat exercise and training on the China-Myanmar border, and the exercise began on time at 8 a.m. on April 2.
The purpose of the PLA's military exercise on the China-Myanmar border is to test the combat capability of the theater troops in rapid mobility, precise destruction and paralysis, three-dimensional blockade and control, and joint strikes.
Why does China attach so much importance to this armed force in Burma, which is relatively average in numbers and strength, and even does not hesitate to use large-scale military exercises to deter the enemy sufficiently? What is the difference between this pro-US armed force?
The Kachin Independence Army is all American-style equipment!
Last year, northern Myanmar was caught in a melee, after China issued a comprehensive arrest warrant for the four major families, various forces in northern Myanmar are also cracking down on the wire fraud syndicates in northern Myanmar, and after China has achieved great success in wire fraud this year, the three major forces in northern Myanmar have also reached a ceasefire under China's mediation.
But during the chaos in northern Burma, the Kachin Independence Army also took advantage of this opportunity to launch a frenzied attack on the territory of the Burmese government army, a non-state armed organization with only 20,000 people and about five brigades, but with a strong firepower that does not match its own strength.
At a time when these private armed forces in northern Myanmar were using miscellaneous weapons, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) was basically all retired equipment from the US military, with M16 rifles retired from the United States and M249 machine guns with heavy weapons that could only be attached to the mid-class combat units of the US troops.
Even more outrageous is the M2 Ridley chariot that can only be seen on the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine, such a private armed force is also equipped, although this armed force is not large in number, but it has defeated the strong Burmese government army all the way from northern Myanmar to the end! Until finally annexed 9 Burmese military camps and the "Reki Port" on the Sino-Burmese border.
This is absolutely not good news for China, because the reason why the United States has provided military equipment to this private armed force in Burma is absolutely not because of its good intentions to help Burma quell the civil war! They have their own evil intentions and evil intentions hidden in it.
In fact, after the Kachin Independence Army seized the "Leki Port", it can be regarded as a stable source of trade and economy, and if China allows this pro-US armed force to continue to develop, it will inevitably bring a huge threat to China after it grows bigger!
Moreover, the Kachin Independence Army, as an armed force supported by the United States, has a natural hatred for China itself, and the U.S. military intended to split China and Burma when it first established this armed force, and wanted to create a new force with a so-called "independent regime" in the Sino-Burmese border area!
Why does China attach so much importance to the Kachin Independence Army?
The reason why China attaches so much importance to this armed force, which currently has only 20,000 people, is not because they have the sophisticated equipment provided by the United States and their invincible performance in the Burmese civil war, even if this armed force is strong in combat, they are not the enemy of World War I in the face of the People's Liberation Army, which claims to be the strongest army in the world!
The reason why China attaches so much importance to the Kachin Independence Army is not only because it is a pro-American force, but also because he has a history of attacking Chinese hydropower stations and workers in Myanmar, and even Chinese convoys to Myanmar have been attacked by the Kachin Independence Army!
This private armed force has a strong political agenda, so it is absolutely impossible to give them enough time to develop in the complex environment of northern Myanmar. Northern Myanmar has always been a source of chaos on China's southeastern border, from the initial drug epidemic in the Golden Triangle of northern Myanmar to the northern Myanmar telecommunications parks that have plagued the Chinese people. This place has always relied on its proximity to China, and has been grabbing vast amounts of wealth from China by engaging in illegal activities.
China has finally eradicated the electric fraud park in northern Myanmar through a series of means, and we will never allow such a pro-US armed force on the China-Myanmar border to continue to create a source of chaos.
If the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) takes root on the China-Myanmar border, it may soon re-emerge in the coming years, whether it is drugs from the past or the wire fraud that China hates.
And after this armed force gains wealth through these illegal means, it will develop and expand rapidly, and then this army will not only be eliminated by the Burmese government army, but also very likely to change the status quo on the China-Myanmar border and even the whole of Myanmar!
In addition, such non-governmental armed groups are different from the Sino-Indian border or the confrontation between China and the Philippines, because the confrontation between the two countries needs to take into account international influence and international public opinion, whether it is the confrontation between the two sides or military action, it will be more restrained!
If they cross the China-Myanmar border from time to time like terrorists and enter the mainland to create chaos, or even attack innocent civilians, it will have a huge impact on the safety of the people on the China-Myanmar border, and even cause the residents of the entire China-Myanmar border to fall into a huge panic, which is what we absolutely do not want to see!
