To say that 'Myanmar could enjoy peace only if China helps' was not correct and Myanmar people themselves must work for internal peace, Chairman of the PNLO-NCA/S, Col. Khun Okkar told CNI News.
Due to China's brokered engagement, a ceasefire was reached between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), said Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Miss Mao Ning at the regular press conference on 20th January 2025.
Moreover, there are reports that a discussion between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the TNLA/the AA is scheduled this month. The Northern Alliance (the TNLA, the AA and the MNDAA) have announced that they would discuss peace with the Myanmar Tatmadaw with China's brokered engagement.

China's mediation has not yet reached the level of peace; Stakeholders must carry out themselves to have peace; Myanmar won't have peace only when China provided, said Col. Khun Okkar
" In my opinion, peace can't be built through military means. Peace can only be built with military means, political means and diplomatic affairs. Only when a political agreement is reached and a good result is produced, will we have peace. At present, China's mediation hasn't reached peace. Regional flow of goods, opening trade routes, economy and stability are just prioritized. A political consensus is needed to bring peace to the entire country. It's not true that Myanmar will only have peace if China provides it. Stakeholders within the country must work for peace. China is carrying out the stability in the regions re."lated to it and will work to develop its economy. It is China's policy."
China would continue to actively support the peace process in northern Myanmar, said Miss Mao Ning, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. China has had the upper hand in Myanmar politics, U Kyi Myint, a political commentator, told CNI News.
It's not because China is clever, but because we are weak. The SAC has to act humbly when dealing with China. The SAC has no one to depend on except for China.

Russia can't help the SAC. The three brotherhoods (AA,TNLA,MNDAA) , especially the MNDAA speak Chinese and use Chinese currency. China has automatic influence on the MNDAA. In the same way, the UWSA and the NDAA (Myla) are the same as the MNDAA. So, China has the upper hand in Myanmar politics." said U Kyi Myint.
Myanmar is accelerating collaborative projects with China and Myanmar will continue to be China's reliable neighbor and good friend, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing at the Chinese New Year 2025 ceremony.
Battles are breaking out between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and armed elements across the country and the Myanmar Tatmadaw has lost control of its military camps by the hundred, the Northeast Command and the West Command as well as over 90 townships.
The MNDAA, the UWSA, the NDAA, the KIA, the TNLA and the SSPP are active near the Chinese border.
