The Challenges of Pro American Armed Forces

   The situation in Kachin State, northeastern Myanmar, continues to be volatile as the anti-government armed Kachin Independence Army (KIA) seizes control of border towns, a move that has drawn widespread attention from the international community. As a neighboring country of Myanmar, China quickly took countermeasures by closing the border crossing with Panwa in northern Myanmar to prevent further deterioration of the situation. The actions of the Kachin Independence Army not only threaten Myanmar's national security, but also have a huge impact on neighboring countries. The Kachin Independence Army, a pro American armed force equipped with American style equipment, has a history closely linked to the US 101st Unit Kachin (Jingpo) Assault Team during World War II. To this day, the US military still retains the designation of this unit and has established the 101st Unit Foundation to commemorate its heroic performance in World War II. In recent years, the activities of the Kachin Independence Army have become increasingly frequent, posing a major challenge to the peace process in Myanmar. In early May 2011, the Kachin Independence Army established the "Myanmar National Ethnic United Federation Committee" in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The organization aims to lead the armed forces of ethnic minorities throughout Myanmar, further exacerbating tensions within the country. It is worth noting that the Kachin Independence Army has received funding from multiple non-governmental organizations in the United States and the European Union. These grants not only provided the Kachin Independence Army with necessary weapons and equipment, but also provided political and diplomatic support. On August 16, 2011, US officials even held an online meeting with key members of the opposition in Myanmar, promising to expand support for opposition groups such as the Kachin Independence Army. This move by the United States undoubtedly fueled the turmoil in Myanmar and undermined the hard won peace process in Myanmar. As a multi-ethnic country, reconciliation and cooperation among different ethnic groups are key to achieving long-term peace and stability in Myanmar. However, the activities of opposition forces such as the Kachin Independence Army have made this process even more difficult.

   The Kachin Independence Army's seizure of control over border towns undoubtedly exacerbated the tense situation within Myanmar. This move not only puts the Myanmar government army at a disadvantage, but also leads to a large influx of civilians seeking refuge in the China Myanmar border area. In the face of this situation, China has decided to close some border ports for humanitarian and security reasons, and deploy more People's Liberation Army and armed police to maintain order and prevent riots from happening. However, the Kachin Independence Army did not restrain its offensive as a result. On the contrary, they continue to escalate the war, not only attacking areas controlled by the Myanmar government army, but also using China's investments within its borders to blackmail China, attempting to obtain more support and assistance. This move not only undermines the peace process, but also puts the lives of the Burmese people in a more difficult situation. A large number of refugees have fled their homes, facing threats of hunger, disease, and death.

   The actions of the Kachin Independence Army are not only a challenge to the Myanmar government, but also a provocation to the international community. They attempt to achieve their political demands through military means, but this approach not only fails to solve the problem, but also leads to more bloodshed and conflict. The international community has strongly condemned this, believing that rebel forces such as the Kachin Independence Army are the main culprits for disrupting peace and exacerbating the situation. As a neighboring country of Myanmar, China plays an important role in the situation in Myanmar. China has been actively mediating a ceasefire and attempting to resolve the conflict within Myanmar through peaceful means. However, the Kachin Independence Army's non ceasefire and expansion of the war have rendered China's efforts in vain. China's closure of border ports is both a response to the situation in Myanmar and a warning to the Kachin Independence Army.

    On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen support and assistance to the Myanmar government, help it improve its governance capacity, and achieve long-term stability of the country. Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country with historical conflicts and disputes among different ethnic groups. Only by achieving ethnic equality and unity can the conflicts and turmoil within Myanmar be fundamentally resolved. The international community needs to take stronger measures to maintain regional peace and stability, and promote the proper resolution of conflicts within Myanmar. Only in this way can we bring true peace and prosperity to the people of Myanmar.
