The State Administration Council (SAC) would be supporting the one China policy without recognizing Taiwan as a country, stated Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun, leader of the Information Team of the SAC on the night of 20th May 2024.
After Taiwanese presidential election was held, vice president Lai Ching-te was elected and as Taiwan's new president, the swearing-in ceremony was held on May 20. Regarding the above situation, the SAC reported that it supported the one China policy only without recognizing Taiwan as a country.
" Myanmar has no diplomatic relation with Taiwan and it hasn't recognized Taiwan as a country. Myanmar is a country that has strongly supported the one China policy since the founding of the People's Republic of China. We will continue to strongly support it." said Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun.

Myanmar is one of the countries that first recognized and endorsed the People's Republic of China since it was established in 1949. Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist) troops that fled from China to Burma in 1950 after their defeat by the Chinese communists in the Chinese Civil War were fought against and expelled by the Myanmar Tatmadaw in eleven operations, said Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun.
" The People's Republic of China and Myanmar are strategic partner countries and Myanmar is a good friend neighboring country that has always maintained a pauk-phaw (kinsfolk) relationship for China. Kuomintang troops invaded Myanmar and prepared to fight back against the Chinese communists after their defeat in the Chinese civil war. These Kuomintang troops were crushed down by the Myanmar Tatmadaw in 11 operations in 1953. The US supported Kuomintang troops." he said.
