Myanmar people only must resolve the armed and political conflicts that were breaking out in Myanmar and foreign aid was just peripheral, Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw, a China-Myanmar affairs commentator, told CNI News.
ASEAN has a chance to tackle the crisis that is getting worse; it urgently needs to take exact and decisive actions, reported the National Unity Government (NUG) on 19 March 2025.
Myanmar people must judge political and revolutionary situations correctly and because the foreign aid was just peripheral, it would not be able to decide, Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw, a China-Myanmar affairs commentator, told CNI News.
" Our revolution must rely on our people. If we rely on ASEAN, it would be just peripheral because only if all the ten countries agree, can they make a decision. Other countries have problems of their own as well. We have to analyse political and revolutionary situations. We have to think and decide for ourselves what we should do next. Foreign aid is just peripheral. I will never be able to make a decision. Domestic strength only can decide. Local revolutionary force can decide." she said.

Although she said that foreign assistance was just peripheral, China has been deeply involved in Myanmar's domestic affairs, some pointed out. With China's brokered engagement, the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the Kokang force (MNDAA) reached a temporary ceasefire and there were discussions between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the TNLA.
In the same way, with China's brokered engagement, the AA and the SAC would meet and discuss, according to those close to both sides. China would cooperate with the SAC to be able to hold elections while Russia and Belarus supported holding elections and would send their delegates to Myanmar to study elections, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.
There are pro-China members and pro-American members in ASEAN, so there are no clear-cut decisions, U Than Soe Naing, a political commentator, told CNI News.

" Some members of the ASEAN are pro-China and others, pro-American. So, they have no clear-cut decisions. Although the ASEAN has laid down five point consent regarding Myanmar, the military council never abided by the consent. If the military council complies with it, the SAC has no problem with it. ASEAN has no mechanism as well to take action against the SAC. So, ASEAN hasn't resolved the Myanmar problem in practice for over four years." he said.
The National Unity Government (NUG) has announced that now is the time to take decisive action to restore justice, peace, and dignity to every citizen of Myanmar.
Although internal conflicts can only be resolved by the domestic revolutionary forces, conflicts also exist due to the different interests among the revolutionary forces. point out military and political analysts.
