China could take part in Myanmar's domestic affairs more than the current period, Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw, a China-Myanmar affairs analyst, told CNI News.
China was carrying out to make a great economic market arise in collaboration with the ASEAN countries before western countries could take part in it and because China is trying to gain a good image that it is carrying out the global peace as able as it can, it could probably take part in Myanmar's domestic affairs more than the current period, she said.
" China is trying hard in order to make a great economic market arise in Asia in collaboration with the ASEAN countries before western countries can take part in it. So, China wants Myanmar's civil war to end as soon as possible. China is trying to make Myanmar participate in the great market. China seems to continue trying it. It depends on the discussions between the armed groups and the military council. China is negotiating everything like this. Not only in Myanmar but also in the Middle East and Ukraine. If things go wrong in the world, it could lead to World War III. If there is a third world war, it could result in a nuclear war. The whole world could suffer. It is trying to create the image that it is doing its best for world peace. So, China could take part in Myanmar's domestic affairs more than the current period." said Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw.
Because Myanmar has an exit to the Bay of Bengal for China, China would intervene in Myanmar's domestic affairs as much as it could, pointed out military and political analysts.

So, it wants to hold the election ASAP and is brokering to make dialogues arise. Because it could take more time if dialogues were held, There are suggestions to take a risk by holding an election, U Khun Sai who is taking part in the peace process, told CNI News.
" Myanmar people have been suffering during the state of emergency for four years. They will suffer for long if the discussions are conducted. So, there are suggestions that a risk should be taken by holding an election. If the election was held, a person alone could not maintain three powers and there would be distribution of power. And then, there might be more opportunities to create what we want, which some have urged." said U Khun Sai.
At present, the State Administration Council has extended the state of emergency for another six months. Therefore, the international community is watching to see if elections can be held within the next six months and so are military and political analysts.
In this context, they are also watching to see how China will further intervene for the ability to hold the election. At present, China is trying to stop the fighting and promote peace talks between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the Northern Alliance (TNLA-AA-MNDAA).
