The United States of America is continuously trying to enable the group it wants to gain power in Myanmar in order to control China, a neighboring country of Myanmar, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the State Administration Council. He said the above at the meeting (5/2023) of the SAC held on 26th October 2023.
The Western group led by the United States has continuously intervened in the affairs of Myanmar. Myanmar and the United States are not enemy countries; There has never been a war between the two countries; Myanmar was not involved in the Vietnam War due to US invasion in the southeast Asia.
However, the reason why the US is treating Myanmar like an enemy is because of a great background, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.

The Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) led by the US was formed in 1954 to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region. However, SEATO was dissolved on 30 June 1977. 1947 Constitution of Myanmar contained the rights of states to secede and based on these rights, states demanded to secede in 1961-1962. If compared the demands of the states with the SEATO process, Myanmar political complexity could be understood, he said.
" In the political affairs of Myanmar, when things they want don't become to be, US is obviously fighting against the elements that can protect not to become what it wants. The current policy of the western group led by US is the China containment. So, the US is continuously carrying out to enable the government or the group to gain power. As long as the group doesn't gain power, the US is working to bring chaos to all sectors in Myanmar.” he said.

Moreover, the US is helping terrorist groups on various topics and reasons. India, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia have been friendly countries for ages according to historical tradition. However, the countries that cannot overcome the influence of the United States have imposed trade and financial sanctions on Myanmar. Myanmar is not a country that survives and trades on the only one financial system. Myanmar had to collaborate with its neighboring friend countries and other friend countries, he added. At present the US and Singapore have imposed sanctions on Myanmar government-owned banks including the members of the SAC.
