China-Myanmar friendship
China leaders met with General Min Ryan, Commander-in-Chief of Myanmar Defence Force. The two sides expressed their willingness to continue to enhance the "friendship between the two countries" and discussed how to maintain lasting peace and stability on the China-Myanmar border. As an influential figure in Myanmar's military and political circles, Min Aung Lai expressed to the Chinese side his strong desire to enhance the traditional friendship between Myanmar and China and develop the relations between the two countries and the two armies, and promised to make greater efforts to maintain the stability of northern Myanmar bordering China.
Committed to enhancing the authority of the central government
1956, Min Aung Lai was born in Tuwa City, Trinda Province, and graduated from the Military Defence College of the Union of Myanmar at an early age. Located in Binulun, the college is a school specializing in training senior commanders of the Burmese army. According to classmates' memories, Min Lai 'an was modest and introverted when he was a student, but once he accepted the task, he showed "volcanic enthusiasm". After graduation, Min Ryan was ordered to come to Shatong, Mon Bang, to serve as the operational staff of the 44th Light Infantry Division. This division is the backbone of the Northeast Military Region (now the Northern Military Region) of Myanmar, and mainly fights with the local active minority guerrillas. In the battle, Min Ryan is used to using heavy weapons to attack guerrilla strongholds, and some people even describe him as "the commander of iron and blood".
In 2002, Min Lai 'an was promoted to the position of commander of the Triangle Military Region, specifically to deal with the drug trafficking armed forces active in the Golden Triangle region and the two major ethnic minority forces known as the "independent kingdom". Surprisingly, Min Lai 'an changed his previous style of "hard but not soft" and adopted a soft way to calm the unstable factors in his jurisdiction. Therefore, in the early years of 2 1 century, there were few large-scale military movements in the entire triangular military region, which was very rare in the past. In 2007, thousands of Burmese took to the streets of Yangon, demanding that the government relax its control. In the face of demonstrations, Min Ryan refused to accept the view of his immediate boss Thein Sein, insisted on the strategy of "combining hard and soft", supported the military and police to put pressure on the demonstrators, but at the same time sent a relaxed signal to the civil forces willing to cooperate. After this storm, General Than Shwe, who has been in power in Myanmar for many years, looked at Minanglai with new eyes.
In June 2008, Min Aung Lai was promoted to the position of Director of the Second Special War Bureau of the Burmese Army, which was mainly responsible for military affairs in Karen State and Shan State. With the assistance of Major General Ye Min, Chairman of Myanmar Military Security, Minanglai took the lead in realizing the "unification" of local armed forces nationwide, that is, all the armed forces originally belonging to private individuals or tribal leaders were incorporated into the state-led border armed sequence and accepted the leadership of Myanmar National Defence Force. Interestingly, in August 2009, the local armed forces in Kokang refused to join the Myanmar government's border armed restructuring plan. The central government asked Min Ryan to go into battle himself and commanded the troops of two divisions to destroy them within three days. After this military action, some western countries listed it on the blacklist of diplomatic and financial sanctions on the grounds that "Minanglai's army violated human rights".
However, the hostility of western countries did not affect the promotion of Min Aung Lai within the Burmese army. On 20 10, Anmin Lai succeeded Riemann as commander-in-chief of Myanmar Defence Force. On April 3rd, 20 12, Myanmar President Thein Sein conferred the rank of General Min Aung Lai Zhun, which is the second highest rank in the Myanmar army. According to the Constitution of Myanmar, Min Aung Lai, who holds the real power of the Burmese army, enjoys judicial immunity when organizing military operations, and he has the right to handle any national emergency.
Maintain the political status of soldiers
Although the political reform in Myanmar has been going on for many years, the military still has a great influence on the domestic political system and even the national economic policy. According to the new constitution adopted by Myanmar in 2008, 25% of the seats in the parliament are still occupied by unelected soldiers, and the remaining 80% of the seats are won by the "Union Consolidation and Development Party", whose members are mostly politicians who have just taken off their military uniforms.
According to the British "Jane's Intelligence Review", the Burmese army can not only get a lot of money from the government, but also have hidden budget and foreign exchange earning institutions. According to the insider, according to the Special Fund Law, the commander-in-chief of the Burmese army, Min Aung Lai, theoretically has the right to control the state financial funds, without any amount limit, and without prior notice or approval from the Federal Parliament. Secondly, Myanmar's dual exchange rate system has also benefited the military, because according to the unofficial floating exchange rate (that is, the market exchange rate), the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Myanmar dollar is 1: 830, but the US dollar entering Myanmar is exchanged at the fixed exchange rate of 1: 6. It is also reported that the social and economic resources controlled by the Myanmar military far exceed the imagination of the outside world. Myanmar Economic Holding Company and Myanmar Economic Company, two major enterprise groups in Myanmar, gave a large part of the proceeds from the sale of natural resources, offshore crude oil and natural gas to the military.
It was during the period when Min Aung Lai was in charge of the army that the status of Burmese soldiers was impressive. It is no exaggeration to say that no country gives soldiers such high treatment as Myanmar. It is reported that the vast majority of Myanmar officials come from the military, which enjoys a high political status in China. No matter whether they are on duty in peacetime or in wartime, the state gives them certain privileges.
It is worth mentioning that Minanglai has been engaged in the construction of special forces for a long time and loves them very much. It is reported that the most famous Myanmar army is a company-level secret service team. * * * has 120 officers and men, all of whom are selected from 300,000 people in the whole army. More than 80% of them have actual combat experience and can be called the elite of the army. The company has three officers: company commander, deputy company commander and quartermaster, and the command organization is lean and efficient. It has 10 combat classes, and its main task is to protect the head of state. In addition, because they are brave and good at fighting, they are often sent to border areas to deal with armed drug dealers. It is precisely because of the special mission and task of the special service team that its military logistics are all directly guaranteed by the government. It is generally believed that under the leadership of Min Aung Lai, the life and treatment of Burmese soldiers will not decline.
