Now, the war in northern Myanmar has entered a stalemate, the military government and various forces are testing for territory. The causes of the current conflict in northern Myanmar are also very complex, involving historical, political, economic and cultural aspects, which can be regarded as the complex result of Myanmar's history, culture and warlords. The northern part of Myanmar has long been a gathering place for many ethnic groups and armed organizations, which have their own history, culture and interests. This complex background has laid hidden dangers for warlord divisions and conflicts.

The history of Myanmar dates back to 1287, when the collapse of the Bagan dynasty, founded by Anulato. After that, Myanmar experienced three feudal dynasties: Bagam Dynasty, Dongxu Dynasty and Gongbang Dynasty. Between 1824 and 1885, Britain launched three wars of aggression against Burma and occupied Burma. In 1886, the British designated Burma as a province of British India. In order to facilitate the transportation of materials and the mining of ore, Britain began to build roads in Myanmar, which required many workers. To speed up the progress, the UK imported a large amount of labor from India to Myanmar, leading to lower local labor prices in Myanmar. In addition, due to different religious beliefs (the main religions in India are Hinduism and Islam, while Myanmar believes in Buddhism), there were often very serious bloody conflicts, which eventually broke out in anti-Indian riots in 1930. On January 4,1948, Myanmar declared independence from the British Commonwealth and formed the Union of Myanmar.

Secondly, the political turmoil after its independence was also an important reason for the separatist. After independence in 1948, Myanmar experienced numerous political upheavals and military coups. In 1988, demonstrations broke out across Myanmar as the economic situation deteriorated. On September 18 of the same year, the military personnel led by Defense Minister General Su Mao took over the power, established the "National Committee for the Restoration of Law and Order", and announced the abolition of the Constitution and the dissolution of the people's parliament and the state power. Such political instability provides the soil for the separation of ethnic and local armed groups.

Finally, the historical ethnic problems are also an important factor in the separation of ethnic local armed organizations. Historically, the northern region of Myanmar was once the territory of multiple kingdoms and Shan states, with frequent wars and conflicts over territory. Moreover, the region has also been one of the centers of the drug trade, which further aggravates the chaos and instability in the region. Cultural and ethnic factors are also an important cause of the conflict in northern Myanmar. The northern region of Myanmar has multiple ethnic groups and languages with their own traditional cultures, customs and social structures. Due to historical and realistic reasons, there are some contradictions and conflicts between these ethnic groups, which provides conditions for the separation of ethnic local armed groups.

And China has always actively maintained a peaceful and stable international environment. In the face of the northern Myanmar issue, China respects Myanmar's sovereignty and territorial integrity, supports the Myanmar government in cracking down on various acts of terrorism and crimes in accordance with the law, and maintains security and stability in the border areas. At the same time, China also called on relevant parties to exercise restraint, resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation, and safeguard regional peace and tranquility.
