There are conclusions among military and political analysts which one between Thailand and China will be able to push more to become a good change in the issue of Myanmar. 

China is carrying out enthusiastically for the stability of Myanmar while Thai PM offered the chairman of SAC that Thailand would help in the issue of Myanmar.

As the movement that China would perform could not cover the entire country, the assistance that Thailand would provide could impact more on Myanmar, patron of the PNLO, Col. Khun Okkar told CNI News.

" Thailand has laid down the plan for about three months. It seems that China will support Thailand because the China's supporting can cover only northern groups and it seems that China doesn't pay attention to Mon armed groups, the KNU, the KNPP and other armed groups such as Chin armed groups. But the meeting that will be held in Thailand in December will be able to cover the entire country, I expect." he said.

Because both countries are neighboring countries of Myanmar and battles were mostly breaking out in the border areas with the two countries,, it would be more important how they would cooperate, director of the Thayninga Institute for Strategy Studies U Thein Tun Oo told CNI News. 

However, as the US has the influence on Thailand to an extent, China would be able to push more to move Myanmar politics, he added.

" Although Thailand has close relations with Myanmar, as Thailand is very close to the US, while it might have negative views like the US, sometimes it tend to carry out avoiding it. But as China is ruled by the only Communist Party, cooperation with China may be more effective. Success depends on how the implementation will be conducted on the ground." he said.
